Laptop Battery time
I just got a Gazelle Ultra with a 4-cell battery, and believe that there must be a problem with it. Working with the laptop or just surfing the internet will cause the battery to run out in around 1 hour 20 minutes. The longest I have been able to run it was leaving it idle with low screen brightness and still then got less than 2 hours from the battery.
This is very satisfying as the average time I expect a regular laptop to run on battery is around 4 hours. I used to be Mac user and my macbook had 5 hours of battery life. 1 hour is just unacceptable. I have even tried some programs referred in the Ubuntu forums, however this just changes the battery life almost insignificantly, +-10 min, but I need to add 2 or so to my battery life. What can it be done to fix this? Could this be a manufacture defect in my particular battery? I appreciate your help. Best,
Leonardo Urbina
