Hi Vicki and Sionach
I have followed your suggestions to the letter and hope to get more
on this. I will keep you informed of the success.
I think one of the reasons why my battery does not stay as long as
two hours is the reason cited below by Sionach. -- allowing the
laptop plugged and never run it off the battery. I do remember
though that this last for more than two hours couple of months ago.
I went over that information at Mac support on how to cycle the
battery but there are two choices and I do not know which one applies
in my Laptop. Can you please email me the step on how to do it.
Thank you
Clem

Remember that with laptop batteries, the more you use
them, the better they will last. If you always keep
your laptop plugged in and never run it off the
battery... then, 6 months later you run it off the
battery for the first time, you may very well find
that it only holds a charge for 1 hour. I routinely
run my batteries completely dead and recharge them at
least once every two weeks and recommend the same to
anyone else.
