I've had my PBook plugged in for about a week now, I put it to sleep when not in use and exit most programs. However, the next day, it is always down by 1%. ie: Today the battery was at 94%, yesterday it was at 95%.


Is my battery slowly dying? What do I have to do to get it back to 99?

PB batteries should only recharge when they hit 94% or lower. This helps battery life by reducing unneccesary charging.

Everything is fine.

The previous post was correct. Your PB won't charge within 5% of being full. It is perfectly fine.
