Hello,
I upgraded to SL the day after it was released. The procedure went fine, with a couple of minor glitches like my printer not having proper drivers any more, but that's all been resolved.
What isn't resolved is that since the upgrade, my battery life SUCKS. I can't step away from a power cord for longer than 1/2 hour! And when it dies - with no alarm or other advance notice, mind you - the monitor indicates there's still 80% remaining (verified by 3rd party software).
I've tried resetting the PRAM & NVRAM as per Apple's instructions here: Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM and I've also reset the PMU as per Apple's instructions here: Resetting PowerBook and iBook Power Management Unit (PMU). I don't have any rogue apps sucking up juice, and everything would be great if I could just get this issue resolved without downgrading to Leopard.
Any ideas?
