Hi all, something must be wrong !
my battery was about 80% full when I put the iBook to sleep.
After 6 hours of sleep it told me to plug in the ac-adapter since the battery was all drained ...
Is this normal ?
iBook 800 (12") 640 MB Ram MacOS 10.2.3
TIA

Nah, sounds like you weren't asleep!
Check that the white LED (heartbeat) is pulsating. If it isn't, you are not asleep, and will keep running hot. You should be able to sleep for days, maybe even a week, without problems.
Check to see what apps you are running, maybe something is interfering with sleep mode, especially if it runs in classic.

thats very odd, it musn't have been alsleep. Being alsleep uses less power, did you have any applications running at the time of sleep?

you have to wait a few seconds while it recalculates the battery-status.

With 640 megs of ram, its not very irregular that a battery might drain faster than usual.
This apparently happens because the larger the ram chip, the more energy it needs to keep the ram awake during sleep.
If you wanna know for sure, take out the 512 chip, and see if it sleeps ok. If not, you've got other problems.

my battery does that too, either you could wait for it to recalculate
or i close the lid again and wake it up, and it goes back to the normal time that it should, took me 2 nites to figure that **** out
