John, why not try the newsgroup comp.laptops. This from the Compaq website:
This document applies to all HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario Notebooks
operating in Microsoft Windows 98, ME, XP, and 2000.

The battery operating time depends on your power management settings. Your
Notebook components, the options, and the applications that you use also
affect the operating time. This document shows you how to increase the
length of time you are able to operate under battery power.
