I would say 1.5 hours is pretty good for upgrading that much. Without looking up the specs, I'm sure your upgraded processor pulls more wattage than the old one. Your battery was designed with the old processor in mind. Even running it at slower cycles, your probably still going to pull out more wattage than before.
Well, that I'm _not_ sure of. Newer processors are typically more efficient than older ones - for instance, many 1400/603e owners that have upgraded to G3s have reported LONGER battery lives. Reducing the processor speed back down to 400MHz ought to have a notable difference in power consumption.
Here's a silly question: Are you sure it's the same battery that you sent out with the computer?
