- My Macbook is 2.1GHz, 4GB memory with a 500GB 5400rpm WD drive.
I have a macbook that is 33 months old according to the coconutBattery utility I downloaded yesterday. I also used the onyX utility to clean things up a little thinking that may be part of the problem. I bought a new battery because the old would not hold a charge any longer. The new battery had a 38% charge when I installed it so I ran it down to nothing and recharged it to full. I turned it on and like a gas guzzling sports car, in the span of about 3 hours I drained it. I charged it to full last night and over 30 minutes today have lost 20%. That seems too fast. Do any of you have suggestions of where I went wrong and what I might do to remedy the situation?
