[QUOTE="DanielOcean, post: 1309118, member: 211575"] I have a late 2008 15" Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8 and recently upgraded to 8GB. I was getting 4+ hours battery after upgrading however lately, it has been more like 2.5+ hours. I have re-calibrated the battery per Apple's instructions and it did go show 4+ hours again for a couple of days. The memory brand is RamJet and purchased at Ramjet.com. I researched the brand before purchasing RAM and reviews by people indicated this was a good company. Also, my battery cycle count and condition under "System Profiler" shows: Cycle Count: 200 and Condition: Normal. Should I get a new battery? Thanks for your time and assistance. [/QUOTE]
