I experienced the same issues with Yosemite and even called customer service. After an online assessment of my system they assured me that nothing was wrong with the battery and that no one else had complained of battery issues with Yosemite. In the meantime I am stuck with a 1 year old computer that has to to be charged 2 to 3 times a day (under moderate use) and a significantly slower browser (Safari) experience. Had I known Yosemite would turn my Mac into a PC I would have never downloaded it.

Dear Warden,You have some problems with your programs that can contribute to a shortened battery life.1) Uninstall Trusteer Rapport. In spite of valiant efforts by the developer, is still seems to cause grief for many Mac users. Instrucitons here:http://www.trusteer.com/support/uninstalling-rapport-mac-os-x2) Uninstall TuneupMyMac and CleanMy Mac. Both are scams or close to it.3) All three Safari extensions indicate you had or have the Spigot malware. Refer to this article to see if you still have it:http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-spigot/Then remove the extensions even though they are already diisabled.4) You have 32 config files. IF Etrecheck flags it, that must be a issue. Could be due to using a third-party file system manager (FUSE)in general you have a LOT of third-party stuff--some I do not recognize--that could be competing for resources. Consider a clean up of internet plug-ins and user log-in items at a minimum.

ronsbiz1,Please start your own thread. The OP has complex issues and you may also. It is dreadful to try keeping uip with more than one complex issue per thread, and you dilute the help any OP deserves. If you are the OP of a new thread, you get full attentionIf you want help here, cut the recital of what Apple did wrong--we are all aware they are not perfect--and tell us your symptoms in detail and what Mac you have. Note how the OP used Etrecheck to nicely list his config so we could look for problems:http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
