[Ti] Battery Life-Fact or Fiction

[Massimo Marino]

I had seen 5+ hrs on my TiBook with new batteries. Then slowly with 
time it degrades. Now I am at ~3:30 hrs. An even older battery (the 
original so more than 2 yrs old) barely shows 2 hrs for few minutes 
then ~1 hrs.

At the time of this email battery is at 80% - 2:39 hrs, screen at 
1/3-brightness.
