My apologies if this question has been addressed already elsewhere in these forums....

My 2.33 GHz 15" MBP seems to get really poor life out of a full battery charge. I have both the original MBP battery and a second one I purchased a few months ago and have calibrated both. Even with Energy Saver set to "Better Battery Life" and light use (just browsing the internet, etc.) I routinely get just 2 hours of battery life.

The CoconutBattery info is attached.

I am aware of Apple's recent Battery Update and I have applied it to both batteries without any noticeable improvement. Before I bring my machine and batteries to an Apple Store for possible replacement, my question is:

Does 2 hours of battery life qualify as: "battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300."?

Thanks!

- Eric
