I bought a new battery because the battery health was very low so i needed one whether it would help the problem with games or not. It didnt help... I am playing Half-Life 2 on all default settings 1400x900 and the battery still drains. Can anyone confirm that they are having the same problem...

It shuts down instantly

Thanks AkleyMac. I dont think this is a common problem because I can find two threads about it. Im not sure but I think I have this problem in most games with decent graphics. Are there any ways to manage the cpu load so it wont draw power from the battery?

I have reinstalled Boot Camp and Windows XP but it still is not working. Do you think the problem will be solved if I purchase a new battery? My current one is getting old and only lasts about one and a half hours before it is empty.

installed all the boot camp drivers and upgraded to 2.1 but it didnt work:(

Im not sure if I understand what you are saying, but I cant see why the battery power is decreasing while the power adapter is plugged in. I have tried physically removing the battery but it shuts off almost instantly when I try to play games. Maybe it has something to do with the graphics...

The power adapter is plugged in and the battery switches from charging and "on AC power". It results in the battery slowly being drained and the MBP shuts down after a few hours. I dont have this problem while in Leopard. I have tried using two different power adapters with no luck. Thanks...
