Last summer I purchased a "new" battery for my Pismo and within the last few weeks occassionally (though with increasing frequency) it has gone from full charge to zero very quickly (w\in 15 minutes or so). It is one of those OWC batteries that "promises" 125% (IIRC) battery run-time of the original that came from Apple. Any rate, as the performance is inconsistent I was wondering if there is something else at play that make the Pismo "think" that the battery is discharged. Is this a symptom of PRAM going bad?
When this happens - the pismo turns off - does not go to sleep and frequently the clock needs to be reset. BW - I do exercise the battery a lot, that is I usually run the Pismo on battery power. Also, when I reconnect the Pismo the batery shows 0 full and recharges - dunno if it charges faster than before. Just covering all bases before I go back to OWC about a possibly defective battery.
