Lion - Horrible MacBook Pro Battery Life

After upgrading to Lion, my MacBook Pro battery life has been severly affected. After 1.5 hours of light web browsing, my battery has decreased to 40% from 100% after charging all night.


Notes: Spotlight completed indexing the hard drive over night, and the laptop remained plugged in charging. The fans seem to be running normally, not at a higher rate. The backlight is at 50% brightness.


Thoughts?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram

Rayced, I have just looked at some of your other posts and they are all about cheese. If you have nothing intelligent to offer on the subject as most here do, them please make a nusience of yourself elsewhere.


Thank You

You're welcome.

I'll let you deal with this guy, little genious.

Have fun.

That's Genius, but you were close.

I find your post racist.

Right, and the Tea Party thinks Obama is racist.


The easiest calumny to toss at someone. But my point sticks.

Had the subject been Obama or the Tea party I would consider this, but they were not, in fact until you let your prejudice show there was no taint of chauvinism in this thread.


You are exposed, I don't care what excuse you come up with next BJ

Bob, Csound, Rayced, Franc and a few more regulars on this forum, I have not a single doubt that you are very passionate and technically advanced computer enthusiast (or pros) but I'm getting feeling that some of you struggle to get in touch with reality!


C'mon guys, move on! I'm sure that all of you know that Lion is history, the end, kaput, fin, dead, especially since Mountain Lion has been released (dev)!


For me this experience will be a very good lesson to think twice before I open my valet next time in Apple store.


PS I installed today Mountain Lion and........................................ not sure what to say since I'm android user who personally give s#1t for iPhone/iPad!

What? How do you get away with being a Troll here. I cannot believe people tollerate you here. Anyhow, we will move along without your cheese (?) input, and ignore your non relevence. I see also that this is about the only thread you ever comment in.

Pete


Wow. What a bright, gifted boy!

I guess you're going to be one who'll finally solve this battery issue.

Mountain Lion is gonna be based on Lion. And you can stick with your Android devices if you feel better using 'em.
