[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1526861"] Download the free Coconut Battery. Run it. Post a screenshot of what it says. How long your battery will last changes *from moment to moment* as you do different things. When I am using my 2009 MBP on battery I dim the screen as low as possible, turn off things I'm not using (like Bluetooth) and try to avoid using processor-intensive programs. Under those circumstances I can reasonably expect 3-4 hours. [/QUOTE]
