    Hi guys

    Does anyone know how long is average battery life for TM 8204.
    Mine is only 3 hour in maximum battery life (all are low, in acer power management)

    It gives me 2:53 for word procesing and only 2:13 for dvd.
    Is this normal?

    Sounds about normal, I played almost three episodes of Lost of my laptop on a plane before the battery died, that would make it, about 2 hours 15 minutes (just a smidge under because it wasn't quite three episodes, but I didn't start from a quite full charge).

    Unfortunately it is a power hungry beast (but you knew that anyways right?)
