I have had that battery issue since the 10.2.4 updated. My battery life was around 2 to 2.5 hours before, then 50 minutes after the update. I went to the apple store and had it checked out. Mine was not under warranty. They put a store battery in and charged for a half hour. The life was almost 2 hours, only two green dots. I got the new battery and I am now letting it run down. Its in the red zone with 21 minutes left. I think getting a new battery really does fix the problem.

Bah! I don't want to pay for a new battery. Thanks for the positive story anyway, ender2002.

It's still suspicious that my battery life plummeted after the 10.2.4 upgrade. Unfortunately, I didn't start using X-Charge to monitor battery usage until after the problem surfaced. So I have no solid proof that 10.2.4 is to blame for my dying battery.
