Pismo w/Tiger - battery time reduced and not calculated

2005-05-19 Thread Van Snyder
All - 

I had been running Jaguar and Panther (for a short time) and was
getting 3+ hours of runtime with AirPort enabled.  After upgrading to
Tiger, I've noticed a couple things.  First, it doesn't calculate how
much time is left on the battery.  It will show percent, but not time.
 This has always been very accurate, but now is stuck 'calculating'. 
Second, it seems that my runtime is significantly reduced - probably
around 50%.  I remember seeing a similar thread, but I remember seeing
quite a bit of confirmation both ways.

I ran the cells down completely, hoping it was just some
software/calibration thing - didn't help.

I tried resetting the PMU... no different.

Thanks in advance for your help!

It's interesting. I experienced the same issue at the beginning but  
then I got to exercise my battery by draining and charging it several  
times and it seems to be working fine now--giving me both time and  
percentage.
