Default Laptop battery problems

On Sun, 23 Oct 2005 15:13:54 +0100, a particular chimpanzee named
"Harry Bloomfield" randomly hit the
keyboard and produced:

It might be that the charge calibration of the battery is out of sync,
or that the battery is nearing the end of its life.


It's 15 months old. I use it most days on the battery. Is this about
the lifetime of a battery?

You might try recalibrating...


Recharge and reset all the above settings back to normal - you might
find some improvement.


Hmm. It now reads 2:26 hours at 100% capacity, then a minute later it
reads 1:20 hours at 99% capacity.
