Hi,
untill now, my battery on my late 08 MBP was fine (around 4h). Yesterday, I tried to switch for the 1st time to the 9600 and then back again to the 9400.

I have the impression that something wrong happened cos now I get only 2h of battery on the 9400 with low contrast, surfing only.

With a full battery, the estimated time is 2.20h, before it was estimated around 4-5h

what the hell is going on ?

Battery heath seems to be ok.

Can it be only the estimation bug ? I'm measuring it right now how long it will last.

We I think we can forget this thread. I rebooted and everything seems to be back to normal (see attachment).

Actually I havent rebooted since days.

I can say that it was probably because you had many background processes running from not restarting for several days, from the look of your amperage from before. -2042mA to -925mA. The restart defiantly cleared that up.

Well I had all my application closed and I checked the processes and nothing seemed suspicious.

Anyway, Im happy that it's fixed :)
