Batteries Query (LG LM50)

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone,

I bought a LG LM50 a few weeks ago and everything is great except the battery life, which was a bit disappointing.

Last time it ran on batteries (after the 4th charge since purchase), it started reporting low battery in 3 hours while doing normal office work.

I have also noticed that under the battery capacity information in "battery miser" tool, the capacity decreased substantially from when I first bought it - Last time it decreased from 39.5Wh to 36.7Wh after using the battery and recharging. That is a big variation from the design capacity of 48.8 Wh shown in the battery specs. Has anyone experienced similar problems? particularly owners of the LG, what is your current battery capacity?

The manual says the battery should last 5 hours I'm going to try and ask for the store to replace the battery tomorrow.

Wow.. that sucks. And I'm just going to order one today too.

A few questions.. which model exactly do you have? Banias or Dothan? Ati Radeon 9200 or 9600?

And 3 hours is really sad.. the LG site lists the battery life to be 6.5 hours on the 6-cell and 10 hours on the 9-cell.

Also.. do you have an Australian or Canadian (or perhaps other?) version?
