Hi I have a PowerBook battery and charging question.
It took about 3 hours to charge the battery to full. I was using it at the time and it is not an official charger, just one of those cheap white ones, so it may not be a high power one. I can live with this, however on full charge the battery lasted less than ten minutes before putting the machine to sleep. Does this indicate the battery is just about dead. I ran Coconut Battery again today: Original battery: 4220mAh Current battery: 2885mAh Battery-Loadcycles: 742 On full charge it measures only 68% in Coconut Battery. I would have thought personally, given the results from Coconut Battery, it would have held for about an hour. Any ideas? Any help?
