New macbook pro battery. Dying fast?

[LReyes66]

Ok well I got my new macbook battery, directly from apple about almost a week ago.

I installed it, let it drain dead for a couple of hours then plugged it in over night. But the battery seems to stil drain pretty fast. A little better then the old battery but not much improvement.

Maybe it was always like this? but as i can remember, when i first got my mbp in 2009, the battery use to last for quite a while.


Is it possibly my mac draining the battery? I ran battery health monitor and it detects it as being a good battery.

My Mac:

2.53 core 2 duo
Upgraded to 8 Gb of ram
Upgraded OS from snow leopard to Lion.

Yes, your mac is definitely draining the battery. You didn't think it was your television did you?

try this

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right B, A, Start

that should give your battery 99 lives


if that does not work return it to apple
