I was wondering what the average time you are supposed to get out of the battery on a 15 inch powerbook. I have all my power settings set to normal and have 97% battery capacity but im only getting about two hours out of a charge. Is this normal, because it seems low to me. But i also dont know alot about macs. Thanks for your help.

2 hours? Normal usage (accessing HD, maybe some optical drive)? Full screen brightness?

Sounds about right

ok thanks

and, you're right, it is a bit on the low side. Powerbooks have never been great battery performers
