I installed this yesterday and it looks like this may have helped the battery run-down problem when the PC is switched-off or hibernated.  After leaving it overnight I still have 98% battery left, this seems to be a major improvement but will need to leave it for a few more days to make sure.

Thanks for the heads up.  

Hope it is simple to do.
