I thought it would be interesting to start a "therapeutic program" for my pb1400 battery. Sitting unused for a few years with problems before that, it was lasting ten minutes. Now, whenever home, I keep the laptop on and alternate between charging and draining the battery. I'm up to thirty minutes!! Beats $120 for a new one. > > Just wondering if this is about right. May I ask, how do you know the voltage? some utility? ~m -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
