I always kept my 2400 plugged in, for long term...I have three batteries and I usually rotate them every week...don't know if this is good advice or not, but it's what I do... Regarding your iBook screen brightness, I just got one and out of the box I noticed how bright it was, only to discover that it came with brightness all the way up...every other PB I've ever had I never used more than half screen brightness, but with the iBook, I have it at least 3/4 to all the way up to get it bright enough...interesting the variables in screen...
