Battery Life?

How long does your battery typically last?

did put 4+, but forgot to hit update :oops:
ibok g4, lasts about 4hrs on a good day

I get an hour and a half on mine if I'm lucky. That was measured on suse9.3 with KDE running with all its bells and whistles. I wonder how long I would get with my nice trim gentoo+fluxbox setup...

Mine something less than 2 hours, with no heavy load, working on openoffice... with slackware 10.2 and freerock gnome.

I get about an hour but this is an old battery so I don't know what it would be like with a new battery I'm assuming two plus because I'm running gentoo with fluxbox and don't do any heavy processing jobs or video which eat battery I also don't have cpu scaling or video saving options on. I might get a new battery though because its annoying having the battery die in the middle of doing something.

bye the way I have an IBM thinkpad T22

i get 3 hours on one battery, but if i'm doing something heavy i put in the second which gives me about 7hours total
