10h54m battery life and weird stuff~

[Jack02]

1.
Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.

In other words, charge the battery until it's full.
​

2.
Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.

Thank you very much Just one thing: you said in point 1 that I have to let it fully charges, and in point 2 to let it still charges for a couple of hours (while I can use it, if I want)... This make me wonder (I'm sorry if look stupid but I really care about this): can also use it while charging to 100% (so as soon as I turn it on) or only when it's already fully charged and I'm letting it plugged in for "those couple hours" you said?
Long story short, as soon as I get home I had to fully charge it without using it, charging it while using it or using it for a while and then charge it?

You can use it while it charges and you can abstain from using it while it charges.
You can also use it for those two extra hours after it is fully charged or you can abstain from using it for those two hours after it is fully charged.

Nope, haven't even installed it. It's just a miscalculation.

it is not a miscalculation, if you were to continue doing whatever it is you are doing at the time of the estimate change the battery would run out within the indicated timeframe.

if you started itunes it would give you an estimate based on itunes running, if you then open skype also it will give you a new estimate based on the new activity.

im assuming your post about chrome pages open is overexaggerated

but i hope you can understand the basic concept here, its not difficult.

Hey hey, the issue was discussed and solved. I in fact had done that and it was completely drained. The indicator had stopped flashing. This issue is over.

May I ask a moderator to lock/close the thread, please?

"Hey hey," in case you hadn't noticed, I posted one minute after you posted saying that you solved the problem... meaning that your post was not there as I was typing my reply. There is no need to be rude about your question being solved when I was offering potentially helpful advice. All that this does is make people not want to answer your questions in the future.
