Macbook pro Battery dwindling fast


Recommended Posts

I've had my new macbook pro 13.3'' for about 3 weeks now, but I haven't been using it that much until recently. I downloaded coconut battery, and i saw taht the total charge is now 95 %, which seems like a rather dramatic drop. Is this normal or do i have a defunct battery?

That is normal - don't worry about it.

Also don't forget to calibrate your battery once a month.

Heh?

My MacBook battery show 98 or 99% and I have it since half Nov '08...

I never calibrated it ^^; Will look into that.

Worst, your battery should have a lifespan 3 times higher than mine.

I often times see my MBP percentage drop down to around 92%. If I charge it then it goes back to around 99%.

I think it is perfectly normal use and you shouldn't be to concerned with it.
