Mountain Lion MacBook Pro/Air Battery Issue

[Fausty82]

There have been a lot of reports early on about OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion killing battery life on MBP and MBA machines... I'm curious if anyone has loaded the 10.8.1 beta (either 12B13 or 12B17) and seen battery life improvements?

OS X 10.8.1 beta said to substantially improve battery life

Can anyone here confirm these reports?

I never had the battery issues, so for me things have been nominal.

I don't think I did, either... at least it wasn't as bad as some had reported... thanks for the response. though, ghostface...

Haven't noticed any major battery life changes thankfully.

I have had reduced battery as well however I read on cult of mac (sorry!) that the bug had been fixed and in some cases extended battery life by 4 hours
