Dan & Van:
Me too...Pismo with Newertech high cap battery. Tiger upgrade, not
clean install. Many full cycles on battery, PRAM reset, power mgr
reset, utilities, Macaroni type maintenance, full sotware updates.
Thought it had to do either with the battery not being from apple or
that the Tiger upgrade was not a clean install?
Nonetheless, think I've seen the same in some Tiger upgraded TiBooks
with their original batteries, and no third part utilities.
Anyone see this with claen installs? or a fix?

Dan -
I have suffered this exact issue on my Pismo. Haven't figured out how
to fix it either - my next stop? Start from scratch. Also - I
believe my battery doesn't last as long under Tiger.. but that is just
a sense.
Please let me know if you remedy this - I'd be very interested to
learn what you find out.
thanks and good luck!

For some reason I can no longer get info on how long my battery has
left in hours and minutes.
I can get the info in percentage, but if I ask for it to be shown as
time left, it says "calculating..." or is just a blank, depending on
which program I use to measure it. I have "show battery status in the
menu bar" checked in the Energy Saver Systems Preference. I also use
SlimBatteryMonitor. Both show the same percentage, but no longer the
time.
As best I remember this was working up till just a week or so ago.
I have a 400MHz Pismo, 40G, 768MB. I recently upgraded to Tiger and
then 10.4.3. Could have been the same time. Battery is fairly new. I
was getting about 4 hours or so last I remember seeing the time. Is
this a Tiger issue?
I tried running just on battery till it went to sleep (about 1-2 %),
then charging to full. Did this twice, still no joy so I tried "reset-
nvram, reset-all". Still nothing but %.
Seems like its probably just something simple, but no luck with
Google or searching the Apple site.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan-
