Open up terminal, and run "ioreg -l | grep -i IOBatteryInfo" and paste the info here, along with your machine specs.

Mine, at 33% battery life:
719:drakino:~>ioreg -l | grep -i IOBatteryInfo
| | | | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=3598,"Amperage"=1393,"Current"=1220," Voltage"=11023,"Flags"=4})

Just trying to see what everyone's "capacity" numbers are, that number is the highest the current has ever been.

Thanks

You can also get this information from Xbattery.

One of my batteries is 4550 (4.55 A hr) and the other is 3500 or 3700 (3.5 to 3.7), I can't remember exactly.

95%, plugged in:
Capacity"=4515,"Amperage"=1200,"Current"=4319,"Vol tage"=12337

Unplugged:
IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=4515,"Amperage"=1273,"Current"=4297," Voltage"=12036

Cool, thanks for the numbers. Called Apple, along with the info that I can't finish a James Bond DVD, and they are replacing the battery. Getting 20% less then someone else with the same model a tad over a month later is not good.

"IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Voltage"=12538,"Flags"=1090519045,"Amperage"=12 00,"Capacity"=4233,"Current"=4232})

100% plugged-in, Al15" 1.25 Superdrive.

Can you give me a little trainer on the meaning of it all?

Thanks.
