Re: Battery life under Tiger

[Marc]

My new Newer Tech battery is also stil calculating the remaining time  
after a week using Tiger a few hours a day. It calculates the  
percentage but not the time for some reason.

Op May 10, 2005, om 7:33 AM heeft Frank Cornew het volgende geschreven:
Nope. Nonetheless, the time remaining for battery life and time to  
full charge seems to be on the blink in my Pismo with a high- 
capacity (6600 mAH) Newer Tech battery. Battery life is fine, but  
it never manages to calculate the time remaining. I've cycled it  
several times and it has yet to calibrate. Maybe this is related to  
your issue?

Re: Battery life under Tiger

[Steve Fuller]

I get 3:30 or so from my 15" AlBook 1.25ghz with Airport on and  
screen about
1/3 brightness. I have since new. Processor is set to automatic.
Speaking of which... what rev of G4 is needed to have the "automatic"  
show up as a processor power option under Tiger? My 1st gen AlBook  
seems to only give me "reduced" and "highest" as options...

Steve Fuller, the ex-Bear maybe? Loved you in the "Super Bowl

Unfortunately, I inherited none of his pigskin tossing skills. The  
closest I get to a Super Bowl Shuffle is my little white 1GB iPod  
shuffle. :)

My guess is that this has to do more with the capacity of the battery  
than anything. I think the 17" PB batteries have a higher maH rating  
than the batteries in the 15". I know that the AC adapter on the 17"

Battery life under Tiger

[Frank Cornew]

Nope. Nonetheless, the time remaining for battery life and time to 
full charge seems to be on the blink in my Pismo with a high-capacity 
(6600 mAH) Newer Tech battery. Battery life is fine, but it never 
manages to calculate the time remaining. I've cycled it several times 
and it has yet to calibrate. Maybe this is related to your issue?

This battery has been treated VERY well and is reasonably new. The 
cycle time reporting issue is definitely a cause of the Tiger 
upgrade. My original Apple batteries lasted well in excess of what 
was considered to be normal usable service lives.

I have an iBook G4, been using my laptop on battery today so far for  
a couple hours, and still it says I have over three hours left.   
Seems about right considering I've used 36% so far.

Logiciels Nemesys Software   mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

fat electrons n.: Old-time hacker David Cargill's theory on the causation of
computer glitches. Your typical electric utility draws its line current out
of the big generators with a pair of coil taps located near the top of the
dynamo. When the normal tap brushes get dirty, they take them off line to
clean them up, and use special auxiliary taps on the bottom of the coil.
Now, this is a problem, because when they do that they get not ordinary or
`thin' electrons, but the fat'n'sloppy electrons that are heavier and so
settle to the bottom of the generator. These flow down ordinary wires just
fine, but when they have to turn a sharp corner (as in an integrated-circuit
via), they're apt to get stuck. This is what causes computer glitches.
