Hey guys,

I got a new battery for my macbook 3 months ago. It started off with 3.5 hours of battery life but has been decreasing quickly. It's down to 2 hours now. The battery indicator says it's still good, but I really don't understand why the performance has declined so much. Any thoughts? Posted the profiler info below.

Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2782
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4879
Health Information:
Cycle count: 33
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -1953
Voltage (mV): 11344

    33 load cycles, 97% of original battery life. I don't think the battery is dying (I wasn't clear in the original post) but that something is unnecessarily draining its power, like the fan or something. The fan does seem to come on an awful lot, but it's not always on and I don't think it's the sole culprit.
