Just installed Battery Update. it appears to have improved the mah rating from 3754 to 4200. Battery was rated at 99% full before update and rated at 88% full after update. Battery received an addtional .5 hr charge to bring it to 100%.. My question is should we recalibrate the battery after this update as per Apple spec when the book was new or let sleeping dogs lie?

I don't think it could do any harm to do so. I'm going to do it tomorrow.

I installed the update and has just drained the battery. Right now i'm at 24% with ~1:28 to go for a full charge. Still waiting to find out if I get more battery life after this...
