I have a late 2008 MBP unibody and the battery life is getting really short (1h 30m - 2h with average use) particularly when I compare it to my girlfriends current MBP!
I have tried all the recommended changes to the settings to prolong the battery life but I think the battery may have had it. I did check the condition of the battery using coconut battery and it's had 160 cycles (I thought that the maximum was 300ish).
Do any of you guys with the same setup get really low battery life? Is this something I just have to put up with?
I have had a quick look at replacement batterys but it seems like quite a lot of cash just to find out that it's just a bit of a dated computer now. Have any of you found any uprated batterys that are compatible or even cheaper equivelant batterys that I could try without spending the $200?
Are any of the newer macbook batterys compatible with a bit of modification??
Thanks in advance
