Run it down on battery power till it goes to sleep then plug the AC back in and fully charge it.. this should calibrate your battery. Don't make a habit of it though.

My 1.5 year old 12" iBook 600, on AC and fully charged, only shows:
Capacity: 2445 Current: 1200
I get less than 2 hours out of it, and always have. I've always suspected I had a bum battery. Do people really get as much as 5 hours, as Apple claims?!? How can there be so much variation in batteries?
With the AC unplugged, I get the following:
"IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=2445,"Amperage"=1011,"Current"=2347,"Voltage"=11874,"Flags"=4})
Can anybody decode all those numbers? What are 'Flags'?

I have a question that is kind of related to battery life so Im going to go ahead and post it in here instead of making a new topic. If I up my RAM from 256 to 640 on my iBook, that would mean I wouldnt be using as much virtual memory, so it wouldnt have to access the HD as often. So then I would save more battery power correct?
Thanks,
