So I replaced the my MBP 85watt power adaptor because of its frayed cable (1 month out of warranty..... don't get me started on this) but anyway since I have started using the new one, my battery does not indicate, after it has been unplugged for some time, that it has gone into "reserve" power and the battery indicator on the screen does not turn red in the last 5 to 15 minutes as it used to..... so whats up? Its pretty annoying as suddenly the computer will die with no warning ... oh yeah and that special sleep startup thing it used to do (though not always) never happens anymore. So I guess my battery has a problem or is this something to do with the OS or the new power adaptor.....

all help much appreciated, cheers!
