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?

Simon
