I have a 17in 1 GHz PB running 10.3.2 with the battery update. I calibrated the battery and it does charge up to 100%. However, over the course of 3-4 days the percentage slowly drops 1% per day even though I'm running off the AC adapter.

Eventually, the battery reaches 96% and starts charging back up to 100%.

Is this a design feature or something I can fix?

I've heard when the battery is full, the battery is closed of the electrics. So it's normal she loses a little power. And I think it's also better she's closed of because of life time.

That's normal behavior.
