- While doing inventory a couple of weeks ago, I was using a PB170
- with the following settings:
- "System Rest" ON
- "System Sleep" at 1 minute
- "HD Spin Down" at 30 seconds.
- Backlight cranked all the way up.
- Saving infrequently (I like to live dangerously)
- MS Excel 4.0
-
- We started at 9:30am, broke for a 1 hour lunch (charging while asleep)
- and the battery ran out (Low power warning, screen dims) around 3:30pm;
- roughly five hours charge time.
