Hey,
(Check the bottom of the message for my setup). When I unplug my Pismo from the adapter, my percentage on the battery meter in the menubar drops about 4 percent every 10 seconds, giving me about 4 minutes of usage before it turns itself to sleep mode. When I'm plugged in, it usually says something like 97% (with the fully charged icon) or 98, 99, and rarely 100. When I hit the little button on my battery bay, it blinks one green LED and flashes repeatedly (giving me the signal it is NOT fully charged), but no matter how long I leave my Pismo plugged in, once I unplug it, I have 4 minutes.
Is there any way I can rezap my battery? Any techniques?
Any help much appreciated.
Set up:
PowerBook G3 Pismo | 400MHZ | 320M RAM | DVD ROM | 30gig Internal | 6gig External in FireWire Enclosure | Mac OSX 10.2.6 (Build 6L60) | Mac OS9 9.2.2 | Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel | AirPort Graphite w/ Earthlink DSL

Buy a new battery. Your old one is worn out.
