coconutBattery

Ambrose, my trusty Powerbook, has served me well, but he hasn't had the staying power as of late that he enjoyed when he was just a wee Powerbook. I'm lucky if I get a little over an hour worth of computing power from my current battery.

I knew that something was up with the battery and coconutBattery has proved it to me. This great freeware app gives you some useful stats about your battery, it does it well and that's all it does.

At the moment Ambrose is 19 months old, the battery has been through 285 battery loadcycles and it has half of its original battery capacity (at the moment is has a capacity of 2138 mAh, it started life capable of 4200 mAh).

Download the app and post the results in the comments of this entry and we can get a very unscientific survey of Apple's battery life.
