Hi, so I've got the battery problem that came free with 10.2.4. Having upgraded to 10.2.5 since and still getting probs, I was wondering if downgrading to 10.2.3 would help. How would I do this? Is it available anywhere?

I can't answer the first question but I beleive the only way to downgrade is to reinstall OSX, and the safest would probably to wipe the drive and then reinstall (of course back everyhting up first).

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice... Looks like I'm stuck for now. I've got no way of backing up 10GB of stuff. Hopefully Apple will acknowledge this soon and fix it.

A new battery fixes it just fine...

Not likely, a new battery fixed the problem for me (10 month old iBook).
