I really don't want to enter this discussion as it is OT here, but you can check on appropriate thread the amount of users having problems with it, it has a new version almost everyday, and that is not a good sign. I haven't seen any proof that it does anything good for battery life, it just uses precious RAM to keep DBUS listener alive. The battery saving is because of KP49 and SR support in it, not because of batterypatch, agree?

@eight - As i already wrote, I really don't want to be offensive commenting on your join date, peace .

But believe me, the short battery life you are experiencing is most probably a result of that status bar CPU/memory applet you are using, or some other crap you've installed, there is a lot of info about that here on TMO.

BTW you can try powertop someday to check what is causing it.
