	I have been doing all of my tests for my battery life STUPIDLY with my usb mouse attached. My first test with my new battery was done with my USB mouse attatched for comparison so that I can see if i get a real improvement. So far it's been on for 2hrs and 25 min and it has 10% charge left!!! I wonder if i will gain time if i dont use my usb mouse? p.s. My tests are not very good ones for comparing your times to. I have so many varying factors liek airport/itunes/usb mouse. The only reason that i list my times is so that people can see that my newer battery is adding life to my machine at my settings.
