Just replaced the battery in my 2011 mac with no improvement in energy performance. The new battery drains as fast as the original.

Any ideas?

As it's a 2011 it could just be a sign that your components are constantly running hard to keep up. I have the same problem on a 2011 MacBook pro. Fans are constantly spinning and battery goes fast.

Open Activity Monitor and see what is going on. You could have some background process running that is a power hog. Anything that is always pinging a server (dropbox, Adobe products, Flash, misc daemons) can create a big background load. Also, if you don't use bluetooth then turn it off.
