Sorry to join in late.
I usually - for reasons I can't recall at this moment in time - run my powerbook off the battery until it reaches about 50% and then run off mains until 100% , then off battery until 50% again and so on and calibrate every month or so if I can remember. However, a couple of nights ago, just after the battery had reached 100%, I turned off at mains and shut the lid.
I usually shut down the laptop every evening after use, but on this occasion I proceeded to forget to do so, which, effectively means that the laptop has been asleep for about 48 hours. When I opened the lid tonight I noticed that the battery power had reduced to 53%
Surely, this seems somewhat excessive to drop 47% whilst asleep for 2 days?
Something else I've just remembered is that I have noticed that when the battery is re-charging, it does so much more quickly whilst I am still using the laptop than if the lid was down/asleep.
Any comments or whatever? Regards. Mike
