Hi all, Here's more battery-related info:
On 22 Mar, this message from Clemens Mangler echoed through cyberspace: > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449 i read it very > quickly, but it might be useful! it describes how to reset the pmu Another interesting read is this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88344 The text talks about how batteries stay at between 95% and 99% charge even though AC is plugged in. The reason Apple gives for this expected behaviour is: 'designed to avoid short discharge/charge cycles in order to prolong the overall life of the battery' which is the first confirmation I've seen that indeed the number of charge cycles is one factor limiting battery lifetime. You will also notice that all G4 Powerbooks except the original one include batteries that avoid unecessary charge cycles. In other words, if I buy a replacement battery for my TiBook I, it should last longer than the original one...
