Anyone else have this problem? My battery maximum capacity has been declining much faster in the MacBook than I've ever seen any previous Apple laptop decline.
When I bought the MacBook a few months ago, the maximum battery capacity was 5208mAh, or slightly higher than the expected capacity of 5200 mAh. But after only 29 charge cycles my maximum battery capacity is 4628 mAh, or 89% of expected.
That's a decline of roughly 1% every 3 charge cycles. If this keeps up, I could be at 50% by Christmas. I called AppleCare and they said "its normal, but call us if your runtime on battery drops to 45 minutes." Well, maybe its a normal decline, but my previous PowerBook sat at 95% of original capacity for 2 years. Is this happening to anyone else?
I used Coconut Battery to get these stats, but maximum battery capacity can easily be found in the System Profiler and its numbers match Coconut Battery's numbers.
