I've owned my MB for just over three months, bought in september. What I'm finding is that the battery currently runs down unusually quickly. I've seen the other recommendations on calibrating the battery but I don't think I've ever gotten it right.

What's going on and what can I do? Thanks!

have you tried turning off all your other device/things like your bluetooth and infra red stuff? i heard they drain your battery a little as well?

Bluetooth is never on, just airport and I do understand that that'll run the battery down. It's just setting off a few alarms to me.
