Read some Macbook 2011 rumors just now, it's gonna be updated in April(hopefully), I might wait for the update of it before I make my decision.

Oh my god I'm so indecisive!!!

Hmm, to all the users of acer timelinex 4830tg. Does your model of integrated brand battery is SANYO Li_Ion 4000mA?

Yes mine is..

Juz got my set today. Oh gosh!!! Traffic at there was damm horrible!!! I went there after work n I got stuck for almost 1 n half hours!!

Just got my unit too!! Now typing with my lovely wife

U mean macbook white? I think its quite likely they would discontinue it though since the new MBP13 came out, it seems totally like an entry level to me..

^I thought it's 6000 mAH ?

Yes, same SANYO Li_Ion 4000mA.

I thought the battery is 6000mAh. Is this a mistake from ACER or BatteryCare?

the capacity is still 66600mWh in the photo what

mA and mWh are two different units. mA is capacity of battery. mWh is power usage.

¡
Are they the same battery ?

Normally higher the mAh, higher the capacity of the battery and can last longer.

Well, just try to check on normal AA battery between expensive high cap battery and normal one and you would see.

mAh is capacity... mA is the current

Voltage * Current (A) = Power (W)

4000mAh is not necessary wrong, it depends on the battery voltage also... 66600/4000 = 16.65v, maybe the battery rated 16.65 volts?


EDIT: Batterycare probably got the model name wrong... Since in the brochure it did state it as 6000mAh...

I did not see in the official brochure what battery they claim to use...

First page ?

That's not official brochure...

Here's a simple tip to extend battery life when watching bluray rip (h264, ac1).

Disable the CUDA acceleration and use intel HD3000 for decoding instead. It's called DXVA. Extend my battery life by extra 1 hour as power consumption dropped from ~17W to ~13W. CPU load doesnt change, still hover below 10%.

Tested with 11GB 1080P bluray rip via MPC HC, wifi ON, brightness 30%. CUDA acceleration via CoreAVC plugin (CoreCodec). On DXVA, runtime 3 hours but CoreAVC only slightly more than 2 hours.



Perhaps someone with 4830TG can test both decoding method and check how long is the battery life? I expect 5-6 hours with DXVA

**DXVA doesnt have good subtitle support though. Need to enable overlay mixer which will increase cpu load by another 10%.

It just a model name, nothing to worry about, you still have 66Wh battery...

Luckily, I thought I kena scam!! Who want to buy this model pls pm nevertheless. I just bought from him yesterday.

Yeah. That's is what i am looking for when i buy this 6 cell battery....66Wh battery.
