battery time under X

[don hinkle]

I remember some time ago, on this list there was some chat about battery 
time under Jaguar but I paid little attention since I was still running 
OS 9. Well, now I'm almost fulltime in Jag...and I just started my iBook 
in a situation where it's running on battery, and the icon shows 2:53 
time remaining. Under 3 hours, whereas before, in 9, I was getting close 
to 4. Big difference, eh? I've just lowered the brightness level, but 
can't imagine what else might help. Is this an issue for a new battery? 
Could folks who have new models and/or new batteries share what times 
they're showing? thanks,
