It may be because I don't cycle the battery enough and it's over a year old. This just started this week. I restarted and reset the pram already with no luck. Is this just my battery dying? Thanks in advance. By the way, it's a 1.2ghz iBook G4.

Run it down until the iBook goes to sleep and then try to recharge it fully.

Nah, no luck with that. Now it tops off at 53%. Looks like I have to make a purchase. Thanks anyway.

EDIT: Well, the problem seems to have fixed itself. Now i'm back to normal. Seems weird but oh well .
