Will adding ram to my MacBook Pro affect battery life? Is so how much? I don't want to lose more than 30 mins. I was going to put 2 4Gb crucial sticks in.
Got a tip for us?

To piggy-back also make sure that your MBP can handle certain mhz's. I know I got the 1600mhz and it works fine, I heard 1800 doesn't, not sure tho.
No. Any compatible RAM (204-pin SO-DIMM) should be designed for the same or lower voltage, otherwise it wouldn't even work.
Nope, you'll get generally the same battery life. You actually might get a few seconds by saving the energy from starting up the HD and writing files to that, as that's what happens when the RAM is full... depending on what you're doing.
