I haven't used it that much off of ac, so can't say too much, but I don't think I noticed anything out of the ordinary. Is spotlight still indexing your files perhaps? This would probably cause major battery drain. Do a command spacebar and then vo down arrow to see if it says anything about not showing all results becasue it is indexing. You'll have to vo-down arrow a few times to find how long it has left to index.
