Shutdowns Without Warning - photomacuser

Call Apple! You may have had a bad battery and this update just made it worse. My battery lasts for 3-4 hours. In the meantime, until you get your new battery- don't do important work without the power cord!

I had the same problem with machine shutting down randomly on batt power,turns out it was a faulty battery, a week or 2 after this started happening, my battery started overheating and eventually swelled up...
took it to apple, and they exchanged it for a new battery.
Could be a bad battery batch

What do you need to use File Vault for? Do you work for the CIA or are you just paranoid? It seems your problem was made a whole lot worse for it.

Same here. Shuts down with about 30% battery remaining.
I also have done the battery recalibration, to no avail.
