Usually the batteries last about 3-5 years. Certainly longer than two months. But how old was the battery when you got it. Since these batteries have a shelf life of 5-10 years they can have sat around for some time and still work, for a while. Unplugging the power cord does increase the battery drain some, depending on model, I don't know specifics about the 7500. The way to be sure is to measure the battery voltage. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
