Dell Inspiron 13" W7 Ultimate, 6 cell battery => 3.5h with extreme, and I mean extreme power saving and 1.5-2h used with everything at max.

[m4kk393]

2 year old Msi Barebone Laptop with an 55Wh Battery, 2-2,5 hours with the powersave mode and 45 min while running Prime95

[FrosChannel]

2010 MacBook Pro

6.5 hours when Lion works correctly.

4 hours when Lion is being an ass hat.

[iDiggMGL]

@FrosChannel lol "ass hat"

Do you have the i5 or i7 Pro? I have the i7 and I get about 5.3 hours. Also what does lion do to your computer that makes it get shorter life? I'm just curious because I've never really noticed a difference in battery life from Snow Leopard. I guess if anything it's easy to forget you have running applications because of fullscreen mode so you could be using other resources without knowing.

[FrosChannel]

@iDiggMGL Its a 13" inch, So I use the old 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo. When my battery life shows 4 hours on maximum charge I turn off the computer and reset the power management module by holding down Ctrl+Option+Shift and the power button for 10 seconds and turning it back on, and I suddenly get 6 hours of battery life.

[iDiggMGL]

@FrosChannel You can reset it by doing those steps? I thought the only was to reset it was by letting the battery fully drain and then fully charging it back up to 100%. Interesting.

[FrosChannel]

@iDiggMGL Thats for recalibrating the battery, it makes the battery last longer in general.

[iDiggMGL]

@FrosChannel Oh, interesting, thanks.

[doomtomb3]
