Mavericks battery issues
Hi all together,
since I upgraded to Mavericks I suffer from battery draining issues as many other people reported here in the forums.
The reason why I am starting a new thread is that several moderators of this forum want us to start a new one if we think it has something to do with Mavericks.
Now the facts:
I got a MBP Retina 15" Early 2013 which was running more than 9 hours with Mountain Lion.
After upgrading to Mavericks the running time dropped to 4 - 4,5 hours!
I waited for several days (waiting for spotlight to finish etc.) but nothing changed.
After that I did a clean install, waited for some more days and now I'm writing to you as nothing changed with the running time as well (still just 4 - 4,5 hours).
The system profile tells me that my battery life is good so I don't think that it is damaged.
It seems that it has something to do with Mavericks itself as I suffered from battery draining right after upgrading without installing any other software.
With ML and my installed software everything was fine!
I tried SMC, NVRAM etc. resets but nothing helped so far.
Do you gut any idea what else I could try or do you got the same problem?
Greetings from Germany!
