Don't you just hate it when your electronics device only has 1% charge left and you don't know how long that will last?

What do you like to do with that last bit of juice? Today I used my last percent to post this, did it post in time?

Once I get down to about 10% I find a plugin. I hate being left out in the cold and without my Nintendo DS

None of my devices ever get to 1%, they usually shut themselves down around 5%. When it gets low, I turn it off until I need it again and hope it doesn't crap out.

I usually keep my wireless appliances at at least half before I put them on the charger again. Never know when I'll need to suddenly run out of the house and not make it back for another two or three days, and I'd like to make sure my things have enough juice to last until I can recharge them again in an unexpected situation. Also I have a solar charger with multiple different usb hubs and adaptors for all the things I usually keep with me in case I need to set up a camp or something. Not like I'd ever need to, but y'know. Be prepared and whatnot.

My latop warns me at 12% but dies at 9% :aimmad:

And then I run like this back to my power cord:

I hate the discrepancies in charge. I mean, it'll tell me I have a full battery for say three hours, and then once it starts depleting, I've only got like one hour per "segment" until it just flat dies on me. What the fuck!!

My old laptop did that same cowshit all the time. It literally had a 30 minute battery life where it had died many times over the course of the 9ish years I had it. It would pop up low battery at 20% and die like a minute later.

Usually I do the bomb run, too. OH FUCK OH FUCK TRIP OVER DOG DODGE CHAIR PIECE OF SHIITE.

For some reason the last 7% of battery life on my netbook seems to last as much as the other 93%. My phone shuts off at 3% battery though.
