I have 25 iBooks with batteries that suck
I have 25 iBooks for a Computer Lab in the library of my school. For the first four months of school, they worked well. The batteries lasted for 4 hours. They made it easily through 3 consecutive 85-minute blocks. Now, I'm lucky if I can get 90 minutes out of them. I have reset the power manager, charged them fully, then drained them per the recommendations of Apple Education Telephone Support. Their advice hasn't worked. After going through their procedures, I'm still getting roughly 90 to 120 minutes on the majority of them when they said I should get 4 to 5 hours. I need these laptops to work like they used to when we first put them into place. The classes using them are course electives...it's not optional, it's mandatory. They used to work for long periods of time on a single battery charge. These are iBook 600 16 MB video models purchased in July 2002. I'm screwed! Help!
