My iBook 500's battery life has gone to about an hour if I'm lucky and two if I really conserve power. It used to be easily 3 or 4 hours. Is there anything I can do to reverse this process? My brother and his wife both have iBooks and theirs still hold a really good charge. Any battery reconditioning software out there? Thanks.

google: linux battery howto

There's a neat trick to save dead batteries in one of the result pages.

My iBook battery life has gone from 3 hours to 45 minutes. Purchased in June, 2001. The 10.2 update has reduced battery life by approximately 30 mins.
