I don't actually need help here, I just find this amusing.

I reset the Power Management Unit on my iBook. Before, my iBook would mysteriously turn off at around 40 something percent.

Now it reads the percentages correctly and it just loses a percent of charge every minute and a half.

My battery is fucked!

Aren't laptop batteries fun? meh, I guess I'll go sell my soul to Apple later for another one.

Meh, that's about how long time the battery lasts on my laptop. Sure it's a PC, but it's a brand new one too.

Meh, how much are brand new batteries for your notebook?

I blew up an old laptop just by pulling the battery out while it was on and plugged in. Seriously, soon as I did, something popped and smoked (and of course it crashed violently). Though I suspect it was already messed, since the power switch wasn't doing anything anymore.

I have a laptop with a batter that doesn't even last one power button press...

this is why I'm paranoid about my iPod and adamant about depleting the battery before attempting another charge.

my (3rd Gen) iPod has been fairly reliable, but the iBook is really going downhill in terms of battery life.

I timed it. It lasts just over an hour now. Down from 5 hours.

Meh, I suppose that happens though with laptop batteries.

*checks battery*

*it's 82%*

I swear I just turned it on... and it was just plugged in before I did turn it off with full battery.

Meh, I don't think it's a bad battery... more along the lines of a power consuming computer.

I had an old 486 laptop, monochrome. The damn thing didn't even hold 20 seconds of a charge at full power.

Forget the battery, my Laptop's hard drive just went up and died on me. The battery performed well in its term, never failing me, though.

The moral?

Toshiba: Good batteries.
Toshiba: My year's worth of data is gone.

Toshiba: Small pros, major CON.
