For the battery you could try to reset the NVRAM

enter Open Firmware mode:
restart your computer holding down 'command', 'option', 'o', and 'f'

type:
reset-nvram
reset-all

I recovered a bit. I was from 3+ hrs to a short 1.5 hrs. Now I am ~2.5 
hrs.
On Apple Discussions the problem appears even with swapped batteries 
(ie not installed when the update was performed).
Same battery on OS 9 sports full capacity 3+ hrs.
