Replying to my own post, I did unplug the AC adapter and I think I now understand what's going on: the battery is already charged. So, I think it makes sense that there is about half an hour remaining to get if fully charged. Still, it's very impressive as OS X says I still have about 4 hours with that battery. With my 2 other batteries, I've never seen more than 3 hours. And the battery isn't fully charged. Not bad for $130 so far... -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
