@vintec,
Is the stat on your batt health consistently hovering around between 97 - 99% or is it 99% today and the next time u check it, it's 56% and then back to 87% hiatus?

If so, get ur battery replaced - I had similar problems with my battery where the health stats kept changing; also, the battery dying off on me after a while even when it's charged. You should start monitoring it a little more frequent now (keep a log so u know).

@vintec,
I don't know if u can trust the charge that's stated on the statistics but what about checking to see how long a full charge lasts u; it should last u roughly about 3 hrs - if it doesn't then make a report and get your batt replaced; or use it for a while and then get it replaced just before ur AppleCare expires *grins*

With over 100k members, it's possible to mistake me for someone else smile.gif And no, I don't hang loiter at Cupid's Corner but u probably can find me active at the 'Round Table Discussions' area smile.gif

Sure hope ur enjoying ur MBP

@vintec,
I suggest u do a test; let it run on batt and see how long the batt lasts. When I first *though* I had problems with my battery, all seemed well except the stats. After a while I had problems with utilising my MBP without power source; it would shut down after a while - i would be lucky if I had half hour before it died on me; and it wouldn't boot up until I plug it onto the power source.

Yeah perhaps u saw me around some place else smile.gif

It's common for battery health to deteriorate. Also, ur battery will only charge when it's below a certain charged; hence ur magsafe light kept showing green.

@vintec,
If I'm not mistaken, ur charger doesn't charge the batt if ur battery has more than a charge of 90%. If u stopped using power supply and let ur battery charge to 89% and put in the charger, ur battery should start then start charging smile.gif
