So, I'm trying to recalibrate the battery on my laptop, because it won't hold a charge at all. It will start flashing critical as soon as I unplug it.
I turned off all the power management functions in XP, and let it sit there.
Here is a handy progress chart of the times that I happen to glance at it whilst beavering away on my work desktop:
100% 2:14p
64% 2:23p
29% 2:32p
11% 2:37p
4% 2:51p
4% 3:27p
I think it lies.
I put in a music CD, hopefully spinning the drive will suck up some juice.
2% 3:40p
0% 4:00p (though Total battery power remaining reads as 1%)
0% and 0% 4:22p
Dead 4:28p
Finally it shut itself off, and won't turn on at all. I will recharge it overnight, and see what kind of battery life I get tomorrow.
Thx: Lifehacker
