Just a heads up.. theres an upgrade for 15" Al powerbooks, hopefully it will actually work and make my battery last longer than 2 hours!

battery life has to do a lot with your computers settings. i have the same computer as you and i can get 3hours+ no problem. make sure you cut your brightness down and turn on power-saving features under system preferences.

When I ran the program for both of my batteries it said that they did not need the updater.. so oh well for that

Is this specific for 15" PB's or is there something available for the 17"?
