[QUOTE="dak125, post: 654276, member: 25065"] I just switched out the original Superdrive of my Macbook because a disc was stuck and it was obvious the drive was done. The install went well but now, when I run only off the battery, it literally just drains. I have watched it go from 100% to 74% in perhaps twenty minutes. It seems as though the fan is running but I only have Firefox open at the moment. Is there any reason whatsoever that the battery would discharge faster than it used to because of a replaced optical drive? To me it seems to be mere coincidence but any way you slice it, something is wrong. How would one troubleshoot a battery that discharges too quickly? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
