My Powerbook 12" 867 will be 2 years old this August. I'm thinking of getting a new battery at that point for university, because my charge is now like 1hr 30min when it used to be 2hr 30min or 3 hrs.

When do you normally get a new battery, if at all?

My battery isn't as bad as that, but still I'd like to get a new one sometime.
