[QUOTE="Aztech, post: 670068, member: 57469"] i had a very similar problem with my MBP battery, its average life was about 40 mins at times, even though the menu bar inidated it had at least an hour or so left... I used an application called MinibatteryLogger which tracked the death of the battery while i was using it and then gave the nice people at apple a call... The entire unit was luckily still in warrenty by 48 hours (perfect timing) and they sent me a brand new battery which has been working fine ever since... Sorry to say, but judging on some of the reviews i read while looking into the matter at the time, the MBP's dont have a very good track record for battery life, quite a few articles i found indicated peoples batteries were reaching end of life less than 12 months after purchase, even when maintained like the guidelines say ! Only advice, if its within warrenty or u have applecare, call them, tell em the life is unacceptable and see if they will replace it, otherwise im afraid it might be a case of shelling out the cash for a new battery !
