I have a fairly new battery in my 1400 that just doesn't hold a charge very long. I have an app called "My Battery" says it is fully charged and I should get 4 hours but I only get about 45min. if I'm lucky. I have used Battery Recondition as well. Is there anything else I can try. Basically it tells me I am on reserve battery from the time I open the powerbook so the screen stays dim for half an hour or so and then I need to plug in. I've tried the trick with putting in it, letting it charge, taking it out, replacing and letting charge, repeating numerous times...still no luck. I have a VST charger but haven't tried that as my powerbook would be without power at all (I'd have to use the AC adapter for the charger). Just not sure what to do...I still don't think it's really dead. Hints or suggestions for apps to try?
