    Thanks guys,
               I don't know what you did, but after upgrading my laptop 
FC17->FC18 I
saw a 5 hr battery life being quoted - I never saw that long before.

It may be something to do with optimus? My nvidia video card is not 
working inF18 as there
is no bumblebee rpm yet, but maybe someone worked out how to switch it 
off by default?
(suits me). Anyway, I'm happy!

Hello!

It happened to me too. Now I have 4 hours of battery life, when in Fedora 17 used to have around of 2 hours.

Thank you very much people!!!
