I know this has been discussed before but since the figure keeps on changing I was just wondering if people could share their TR’s battery Full Charge Capacity and also the charge cycles at present.

Mine just got reduced by 0.02 for the first time after 8 charge cycles.

So basically mine is on 47.71 after 8 charge cycles.

Mine is 47.10 after 30 cycles.

47.01 after 33 charge cycles.  :wink:

47.20 after 25…

47.55 after 20 charges

42.01-75 cycles

I won’t look…I won’t look…I must not look…

Sorry, I won’t look.

mine is 46.54 :?

[quote author=“ironricebowl”]Hmm.. the numbers do not seem to change linearly in terms of diminishing Wh per charge cycles..

yup I agree with you…like deathstar says 47.55 after 20 and Wadham 47.20 after 25…doesn’t appear deathstar’s TR’s battery will be reaching around 47.20 after 25 charge cycles. I guess it also depends on howmuch battery u drain…the more u drain the more whr u loose per cycle…so may be deathstar does not use the TR on battery that much (like me :wink: )

  NP…from reading the above posts it looks like with every charge cycle there will be a decrease of about 0.03 Whr…so even I would now hesitate to look at the powerpanel readings. :|

I think it’s good to know the behavior of your battery so that we know how to “prolong” its life, without unnecessary inconvenience of course.  :D

I do make it a point to remove my battery if I know I am going to be desktop-bound for a long period of time; I am not sure if this is a good practice though.   

I was able to keep my battery life at full charge capacity until 17 cycles and after that it keeps dropping with almost every other cycle. I hope it “stablises” at 47.55 for another few more cycles.  :?

May be I should start doing that too! Mine just started decreasing at 8, so may be removing it does help and as I said before I dont use mine much on the battery either.

Bought in Nov 2003
43.09 wh after 67 cycles

42.37 after 86 cycles, got TR1MP in october or so 2003

i’ve got 45.52 at 47 cycles ... i tend to always run my tr to the brink of complete discharge.  but then again, the battery life was a major factor in my purchase of the tr.  usually i’ll just take it sto school with no ac adapter and i can usually get away with it, but i’ve heard my fair share of the 10% alarm” your battery is running low”
