When did the battery settings change??

[Osarkon]

I got my replacement battery from Apple this morning and now instead of the option ' Better Batter Life ' it's been renamed to 'Better Energy Savings' . Is this a result of the new battery? I find it quite odd.

The settings are the same, but I've never noticed the name change before.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Oddly enough, batteries have a tiny bit of memory in them, and Mac OS X uses this to store a few power-related settings... so it could be a result of the new battery. I have never seen this before myself, since I've never had to get a new battery for my laptop.

Wow you learn something new every day, wouldn't have expected something like that to have been kept in the battery. Thanks for that!

That is kinda weird...
I had my battery replaced about september last year with the whole recall thing but, never noticed any change at that time. Now I look and lo and behold your right! It does say "Better Energy Savings"

Maybe it's just a recent update and none of us noticed till now?
