FWIW, T61, all Intel, 4 hours bat (when the power goes out). But that's with a 9cell optional bat. Goes to dim screen anytime it's not plug'd in. Which is almost always. Other than that, an my external router/modem (ATU-R) are on my old UPS/line power, bat time is about 4 hrs. Longest it ever took CC to get the power back on. Recently, when a truck took down a pole. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
