10.2.4 Killing Battery Life

    The /. summary makes it sound like all Power/iBooks are experiencing battery drainage after updating to 10.2.4 - my 2002 600 mHz iBook updated just fine, and battery life is the same.

      My 1 month old iBook 800 (12") also has no problems. You may also want to try the script poster by a reader at macintouch [macintouch.com], it gets the status of the battery from the ioregistry.

      FWIW, the output on my 88% charged iBook 800 (12", combo drive, november '02 model, bought in Januari) is voltage=11928 flags=4/0x004 amperage=1023 capacity=4192 current=3692 [88.1%]. I can squeeze 5+ hours out of this (just typing text, screen dimmed to the one but darkest setting, cpu speed set to "automatic"), so the battery is definitely good. I don't know what normal or good capacity values for other models are.
