MBP Battery Life While Sleeping

[anirban]

I was wondering how long can the new 15" MBP sleep before its batteries die out? Would it be more than 24hrs?

Thanks!

My MacBook loses about 0.75% per hour.

Wow, that seems to be impressive, thats over 100hrs of sleeping. But its for your MB... I am guessing MBP will be drastically shorter.

i would suggest downloading a widget (apple site) called "deep sleep" it saves RAM into harddrive and completely shuts down the computer, it uses zero power. to turn back on u simply hit the power button and wait 20-40 secs (depending on how big ur ram size is) and your back where u left it. i do this over night when i dont want the battery to decrease at all, as it sometimes looses 10%!

So the "Deep Sleep" widget is something like "Hibernate" in Windows?
