Macbook battery life after Leopard

[Parasitic]

Has any of you noticed a significant battery life drop after you upgraded to Leopard on your Macbook? If so, how much?

I have noticed that it reads less, but is not accurate, it will say 1.5 hours, but i can use it for 2.5 or so. I think that it needs time to adjust itself?

30-45 minutes for me, but i was in boot camp.

Well, according to my MacBook, my battery life has actually increased 30-45 minutes. Granted, I haven't actually put a real timer to it, I'm just going by what the built in meter says. When I unplug the MacBook now, the meter says over 5 hours of life. It used to say 4 to 4 and a half hours.

Who knows if it went up or not, I don't really know...

well, if you ask me about that then my answer would be yes.Yes it is increased a lot.Not a lot though but approximately 30 minutes if im not wrong.I never looked keenly on it, i just noticed that. So, good improvement i must say.

Mine seems to have gotten better.

I haven't calibrated my battery since installing Leopard. I wonder if it'd go back to normal if I did???

Thanks for the input. I'm still waiting on my copy of Leopard to arrive. It's good to hear that some have gotten better battery lives than before.
Although a search on the intarweb shows that Leopard has killed some batteries?

That's what I was just thinking. Mine seems off too. I also did a fresh install. That may be the reason.

Is there a battery update?
Mine seems to drop in percentage rather quickly...
