What is the best way to preserve the battery life? I've heard you should let it drain once a month and also avoid frequent plugging and unplugging. I never knew that stuff made a difference. My battery (ibook G4) doesn't last more than an hour tops (after two years). It will go from 40% to zero. Anybody have any suggestions on how to preserve battery life?
Just recondition the battery............ use your user manual to find out how to do it....
that will work, otherwise...
time to buy new
Didn't find anything on this. The closest thing I found was to calibrate it within the first week of use. Other than that, nothing...Quote:

how old is your laptop (battery)?
Battery and computer are only 2 years old. Just happened again on me, took about 30 minutes to die (battery was around 60% at the time). Was running word and had itunes open, but wasn't using them, just surfing the net.
