Your Macbook Battery life?

[Abscissa]

What is yours? Mine is the original battery for my macbook 4.1, white plastic. I'm surprised mine has lasted this long...

I get about 6-7 hours battery life single-tasking in leopard, my macbook is 6.1 I think and about 9 months old. If I multitask I get about 3-4 hours battery life.

Those percentages aren't very accurate. Hours life is more useful.

wow! I only get about 3-4 hours from a brand new battery that I bought last week which now has 10 cycles on it!

Mine is from 2006(it says 2006), it holds 2 hours charge on regular settings, and has a whopping 724 charges. Macbook's are made to LAST!

Here's mine, it lasts about 3-4 hours when I'm watching YouTube videos, no idea how long it lasts when I'm not watching YouTube videos because I only bought the thing like last week and so far that's all I use it for.

The other thread is in the Macbook Pro sub-forum, so that's ok. I moved the one post about a MBP from this post into that thread.

Carry on...

Just got a new battery due to the old one swelling, but at the time it still had about 86% health on ~700 cycles at about 38 months.
