That's what I have too: a 2011 13 inch macbook pro. I'm not sure if the battery life being cut in half is related or not, but I've also noticed my macbook running a lot warmer than it ever did under sl. I'm wondering if it's time to call apple and/or take my macbook into a store. Obviously, there's some weird stuff going on. If nothing else, maybe they can help me revert to sl. The running hot thing is really starting to make me nervous, so I've turned off the mac for the time being. Missy

I have a macbook pro, so perhaps that has a longer battery life. I've ran this on battery several times since upgrading and had no issues to speak of. Best, Zack.

This one is almost serious enough to make me want to run back to snow leopard, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but my questions and concerns regarding downgrading aren't what I wanted to post about here. > I have a 2011 macbook pro mc724LLA.

I'd use it from time to time for other tasks, and even then would get around 8 hours of productivity on a fully charged battery. Well, I decided this morning that I would let it run on battery for a little while; I typically just leave my macbook plugged into an outlet since it primarily lives on a desk in my dining room. Still, I try to drain the battery at least once every week or two so that it will be in good shape if I ever do need to travel. > Anyway, I disconnected the AC adapter as I usually do, and then checked the > status menu. It told me I was going to get nearly 10 hours off the battery charge. I was pretty excited; figuring that I could leave it running happily all day on battery. Well, no such luck. About 4-5 hours later, I went to see if I had missed any direct messages or anything on twitter, and the macbook was completely dead. Nothing I pressed would respond at all. I plugged in the ac adapter, and everything came back to life, and now it's 1 hour 24 minutes til the battery is fully charged. > So, I guess my question is this: has anyone else noticed seriously reduced > battery life on their macbooks? I had one friend on twitter confirm that he's experiencing the same problem, so am almost definite that this isn't just me. If I find one more flaw in lion, I am going to figure out how to downgrade to snow leopard, that's for sure! > Well, I guess that's it for now.
