My battery life seems to have gone down right after 10.3.3
I used to easily get over 3 hours on 10.3.2 the minute I unplug from a full charge and now I get between 2 to 2:45 hours.
Hope 10.3.3 didn't mess up the battery.

Haven't used it on battery power since updating. Hopefully it has improved, though.

Mine dropped from 2:45-ish to 1:30, tops, and it's taking twice as long to recharge. Capacity's still the same, though, 3.925 before and after.
I hope this is just a fluke. I'll test it again to see what I get.

Battery life on my PB17 seems about the same. In fact, I haven't noticed any difference in behavior between 10.3.2 and 10.3.3.

I'm still getting crappy battery life w/ 10.3.3. I'm not sure if this is related to the fan coming on all the time, or what, but usually when I'm running iTunes and/or Safari, the temperature goes up to 143ºF very quickly and the fan kicks in somewhere between 138º and 145º, and stays on much longer than it should to bring it down.
I've averaged just under two hours since the install, when I was getting close to three before. It's also taking longer to charge, as well. My battery capacity is somewhere around 3.925. I've reset the PMU, is there anything else I can do?

Although i didnt have my PB for that long before the update came out. I havent noticed a difference with 10.3.3. I usually get 3:5x using normal settings usually running DW, Safari, Adium & iTunes. With Airport & Bluetooth off I get somewhere around 4:XX. I'll update that maybe tmrw when I recharge and turn off both again.
