OK I finished up a Battery Amnesia drawdown and apparently there is no gain on battery hold there. About an hour and a half. Is interesting to compare the drawdown time diff between BA and just having PBook on. I realize BA is instrumenting processing power to rush drawdown but I wonder just how much in comparison to real world pbook use?
Anyway, 5300 seems to be back to normal. Thanks for the suggestions all. Dave > Well, I've got an interesting follow-up to make. Basically tried a twist of > what Josh suggested.
