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 143�F very quickly and the fan kicks in somewhere between 138� and 145�, 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.
