macbook battery

[jvan]

hey, did anyone's macbook get up to 6 hours like apple said..

and how many hours does your macbook last with airport on?

I haven't timed it, but I'd say about 4 hours with Airport on and screen at full brightness.

yeah... mine lasts a really long time. havent timed it yet, but with airport and almost full brightness... i get several hours

Mine lasted from 6PM to 11PM with AirPort and full screen brightness !

Have you done a complete battery calibration yet?

 

[jvan]

As markkk! said, no, it's not too late. Also, you should calibrate your battery about once every month.

whhhaaa? that's so longggg... i even calibrated my battery and it only lasted from 6PM - 8:41PM ... so barely made it to 3 hours... with full brightness and airport on... and all i did was forum chat and msn.... i dind't even turn on itunes.. or it might have lasted for 2.5 hours ..

so do you think i should call apple for an exchange of battery?

It never hurts to call.
