Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / January 2008Battery Life and Leopard
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed a drop in battery life with leopard installed. I have an original core duo macbook so the battery is aging anyway and im wondering if im imagining a sudden drop in life after installing leopard or wether the battery is just on its way out.

At over a year old, your battery is likely showing some significant degradation, but Leopard does impose a heavier load so you're probably draining your diminished capacity faster than you were. >> Hi everyone, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > load so you're probably draining your diminished capacity faster than > you were. i have leopard on latest gen mbp, relatively new battery on it too... and i don't see any shortening in battery life.. ok, maybe just a little, but not so much... >>> Hi everyone, >>> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > and i don't see any shortening in battery life.. ok, maybe just a > little, but not so much... Oh well. I keep checking my battery with coconut battery and its capacity is rapidly diminishing. It seems the battery getting old just co-incided with leopard. Thanks anyway for both your inputs.

On a MacBook? Depending on how bad the battery is, Apple might give you a new one, even if you're out of warranty. See <http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/> for details. They've replaced both of my MacBook Pro batteries this month under this program. In both cases it was the "low charge capacity/runtime... with battery cycle count of less than 300."
