Hi all, There's a recent (March 2009) firmware update, Battery Update 1.4, that apparently isn't automatically getting picked up through the Software Updater. It improves battery lifetimes in cases where the MacBook is shut down and not used for some time. This is a particular issue for the new aluminum MacBooks that appear to drain their batteries more quickly than other MacBooks when they are shut down or in sleep mode for long periods of time. Check:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Battery_Update_1_4 for the download link and first read the linked Apple support document on that page to determine whether you should apply the update to your machine. This battery firmware update does not apply to MacBook Pro or MacBook Air models, but is for (black, white, and aluminum) MacBooks that meet the criteria. The Apple support document tells you how to check the current firmware version, serial number, and pack lot code for your MacBook battery to determine whether the firmware update applies to you.
