[iBook] Re: iBook battery

[Barnard Madsen]

I got my iBook dual USB used and had similar problems with the battery 
(didn't hold a charge).  I bought a new battery and now I get nearly 5 
hours per charge.  My IT guy at the office told me when you to install 
a new battery (in your case, one that hasn't been used or charged), you 
should charge it up to 100%, then use it and let it drain all the way 
down before charging it to 100% and then draining it down.  This is 
supposed to give it the capacity to hold a charge longer.  It seems to 
have worked with my new battery.
