Was just wondering if it is normal for the 12" powerbook battery to only last for about 1:40 minutes after having the powerbook since last November (9 months)?

I dont use the laptop all that often either with just the battery power. Most of the time it is running on the AC adapter.

This the 1:40 minutes normal or do I have a defective battery? It used to last for about 2:45 minutes doing running the same applications as I do now with it lasting only 1:40 minutes

I think maybe the low battery life may have started after I upgraded to 10.3.5 because I remember last week it was lasting for more than 2 hours.
I did a re-calibration, and now when I unplug the ac the battery only lasts for 1 hour!
