I know, another battery question.
I think my battery is officially dead.

I have a dual-USB 500mhz 2001 iBook. I get the warning to sleep at about 94% (about one minute off the charger). On the back, only one light is lit. Is this the end? I realize it's been 2 years on this battery, so perhaps it's time for a new one? Are these the signs of old age?

The batteries last approximately 1 yr. and 4 months...consider it lucky that you have lasted this long!

Ah yes, that's what I thought. Thanks!!!

Alas poor Homer, I knew him well.

I'm torn between souping up my iBook (trackpad needs to be fixed, new battery, more RAM, external HD) or saving for a PowerBook.
