Heya guys.. havent been posting here lately... ive just been lounging.. Ive just been annoying with my battery having such a short life.. the wear is still low.. but it says it should last about 4-5 hours.. its a 4400mAh battery.. How many cell battery is this? I know that the 4-5 is operating on low settings.. i have my lcd set about 50%.. CPU speed at medium(the second speed out of the 4) and everythign disabled except wireless.. So whats going on guys?

I'm wandering by
Anyways, Most laptop companies show the MAX hours for battery life with EVERY setting on low and EVERYTHING off and the computer IDLING...
The 4-5 hour thing sold you didn't it?
Pretty sure it sold everyone else, and I fell for it too -
heh yea i knew it was too good to be true.. but im getting about 50% of the suggested battery time.. that seems abit wrong..

It says my wear level is about 6%

I'm getting about 3.5-4h on my 8 cell battery on my 1681. The original 4 cell battery is pretty well useless now I'm lucky to get 1.5h out of a charge but I still rotate them every couple weeks so they both get the dischage and recharge cycle done to them.

Thanks alot cman.. could you also check how much mAH it says at the bottom of the battery to make sure we have the same battery? thanks ALOT

I suggest you unistall the acer epowermanagement and use windows power management
Then change the settings in power profile to 'Max Battery"
processor would run at 600mhz and u would get nearly 3.4 hours or more -
What's the deal with epowermanagement? I haven't had a problem using it.
1-sOuljah, sent you an email.
