Got a MBP 15" 2.6/512/560X last week and I've been noticing the battery life drains like crazy, 1% every 2 minutes simply with one Safari tab open. In sleep it drains around 5% every hour, any tips?
Thanks.
 
Can you check your activity monitor to see what is using up your battery? We can start diagnosing your issue then. 3.5 hours for 1 safari tab is pretty poor, even if you were at full brightness.
