[QUOTE="tariq, post: 43558"] Thats way too little, usually 2.5hrs is the minimum with constant heavy usage. Try... * Recalibrating your battery (use laptop past low battery warning, until it goes to sleep itself) * In Terminal, type: ioreg -l | grep -i IOBatteryInfo What does it return? And to conserve and get the most battery life during use... * Turn off BlueTooth * Turn off Wifi (if not needed) * Lower brightness to 4-5 bars * Mute volume (if not needed) * Lower hard disk spin down time (using APM Tuner X or Cocktail) If all of that fails to help, talk to Apple since it might be a bad battery.
