Impressive Battery Life
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
| Categories: Computers and Internet By habit, I ran Vate, my MacBookPro, on battery until the low battery warning came on, after fully charging it. Today, doing RTFM, I see that the proper procedure is
- Fully Charge the battery
- Run the laptop on the power adapter for at least two hours
- Run the laptop on battery until the unit goes to sleep because the battery is fully drained
- Leave the unit sleeping or off for at least five hours
- Recharge the unit fully
Yesterday and today, with light usage, the MacBookPro17 seems to be able to go over 6 hours on battery. I've run a DVD, watched a video of the Scobles checking out meat at Cunha's Country Store [Say hi to Bev for me] and have done some web surfing, conducted some searches on Mac Mail and Courier IMAP, set up some RSS feeds in Safari [though I will be installing the Mac version of RSSowl after I get parallels and its partitions set up], and listened to our latest podcast on our OSS blog.
Impressive.
