    Hi, I recently bought Acer TM4502lmi,(Czech Republik configuration),
    ->Pentium M 1.6Ghz,512MB 333Mhz Ram,DVD+-RW burner,60GB 4200rpm HDD.

    Works fine, but when the batery is completly out of juice(below10%),
    it takes me to 2:30h to recharge it completly, whet it is shutted down.
    The specification gives the 1:30h time, so I am confused.
    Also when I am on AC, an the batery is recharged, it shows the 99% value.Is it normal?
    What are your best runnig time on AcerTM4500 notebook with similar configuration? I get 4:30 by word processing.

    Thanks for your answers.

    Well - factory time and real life time is always different...

    since they use it at the minimize settings to maximize battery time.

    Not sure about the 99% though...
