I went ahead and replaced my battery (under warranty) because it was
only getting 10 minutes of time when fully charged. Even when it was
new it would get less than two hours when running Fedora Core 3 64 bit,
seemed slightly longer in Windows but I never timed it to be sure.
Anyway, since the new battery just came, I was curious as to how you
take care of your batteries to ensure longer life. I'd gotten in the
habit with my previous one to simply leave it in the laptop all the
time. I'm suspecting this is not good since my battery was pretty much
reduced to nothing. Anyone here got a year or two old battery that
still gets decent time? If so, what do you do?
Being curious I'm going to time this new battery in both Kubuntu Breezy
32 bit (gets along with my R3000 much more than Fedora Core 64 bit did)
and Windows and see what kind of life it has.
