that was for previous models, like the G4 iBook & PowerBook.
for current Intel-based MacBook & MacBook Pro, please leave the battery in

guess the technician is reffering to older model?

I leave my battery in my MB all the time, doesn't matter much...

I remember last time (4 monts ago) I watch anime with my MB when I travel from JB to KL, and that day caught in slow traffic, so took me about 5 hours to reach. And in that 5 hours, I was watching anime all the time, until I finish my anime...I still got battery for me to do other stuff like go online with my usb modem for about 1 hour maybe? I set my brightness to 1 bar, using earphone, bluetooth n wireless off.

From my experience, my MB is able to reach 4~5 hours when browsing on wifi and doing some typing. depends on what program u are running.

shit , y everybody elese battery more lasting than mine one ar?

my MBP 4-5.5hrs

mojoza, i think i previously ask u how, cos my mbp cant even reach 4 hours

Surely can't beat mine. My battery now doesn't even last 5 minutes. It's officially dead but I don't have the moolah to get a new one right now. Haha

kekekekek, u the winner la
same thing happen to my vaio battery, lan lan go buy one, lucky less than rm 300

My battery life is kinda sad now.

Used to last like 4 hours on Mac OS
Around 2.5 hours on WinXP

Now it only last like 2hour plus plus on Mac OS and 1.5 hours on WinXP ...

even MBP can last 4.5~5.5? sounds good

usually how much does the new batery cost?

as i know PC based battery easily cost rm600 ~rm1k

iPhone's battery so far is working wonders for me. Dont know about MAc though

but iPhone do not show the charge cycle~

Can someone tell me that my battery is actually very healthy? :'(

what's your mac model? i think your battery healthy is quite low with that max capacity.

wah... my battery cant even last for 4 hours.. it says only 3 hours 30 mins.. and it's a new one sumore T_T

mine also new, abt 2 moons

did a calibration yesterday, not bad now
4634 over 4600, battery health 100%

I never use my mbp battery since the day I bought it. As one of the Apple technical guy, I always trying to avoid using battery. Believe it or not my battery charge cycle is still 0.
