On a somewhat related discussion- are people still seeing battery issues with Yosemite? I dropped Chrome and most other things that were known resource hogs. Still can't get past 2.5-3 hours on a MBP Retina 2012. Battery is brand new. It is correlated (but not necessarily caused) when I moved up to Yosemite. I am a preview release user and have PR 10.10.2.

 

Curious if this is still an issue for others?

    What did you get before Yosemite? Make sure your display brightness is below 50% (turn auto-brightness off in system prefs > displays). Also don't keep bus-powered drives or devices plugged in if they aren't needed. If you have a rMBP with 2 GPUs, check if GPU switching is enabled in system prefs > Energy Saver.
