I've only got Safari up right now, and my battery life seems to be dropping drastically since I upgraded it. I'm slightly concerned. Does anyone seem to have this problem? Anyone have an idea what I can do to fix it? My Mac is the one in the profile ('09 MBP, 3.06ghz, 4gb RAM, 9600mGT (though the 9400m is on)).

Has spotlight finished indexing the volume?
 
I have the same MBP (only with 8GB Ram and 2 ssd:s) ... spotlight is disabled
I´m also slightly concerned, doing the same stuff as before on SnowLeo my battery drained way too fast... :confused: maybe a new calibration is needed but this doesnt look good at all
 
I think I probably need a calibration after further investigation. It seems slightly less, but I think only time will tell if it actually is worse.
 
dont know how fast... yet
after the Lion-install I unplugged the charger, did some heavy usage 95-100% cpu for some time... :) didnt feel like a long time though, next time I looked at the battery icon it showed 77%...
I´ll have to look into this later, maybe it´s just a feeling
 
I tried re-calibrating my 2010 MBP and I'm still seeing about an hour less battery life with lion then I got with SL.
