Same Issue
Authored by: Platkus on Nov 15, '02 07:54:55PM

I am having this same issue with my 1 year old dual USB iBook. After upgrading to 10.2 the battery life is almost half of what it used to be. No settings were changed. The thing that I think is causing it is that the hard drive does not spin down during normal usage of the computer like it used to. This constant spinning would account for the decreased battery life.

I've reset the power manager, but that did not help. I will try deleting the power management file listed a few posts up to see if that helps.

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Shawn
