Re: Low Battery Warning on iBook
The battery runs for three or four hours before disappearing. It has been suggested to me that the age of the battery (three years plus a bit) may be a factor in the Low Battery message no longer appearing. It used to appear, it seems, and it is not clear why this ceased.
