QUOTE(rip_code @ Dec 29 2008, 12:05 AM) why my new alu macbook full capacity only 4199 mAH? Mine 7 cycles after more than a month and have 4676/4600 mAh.Its normal to get 99% when fully charged. However its better to calibrate each month. |

QUOTE(rip_code @ Dec 29 2008, 12:46 PM) if i do the calibration, will the full capacity will increase? It increased mine.  rip_code - If your battery after calibration is still below 4230 mAh, it is not a good sign...  This post has been edited by Edoras: Dec 30 2008, 09:14 AM |

QUOTE(ensp!r@tion @ Dec 31 2008, 12:38 PM) hmm... in conclusion should we remove the battery if we're using magsafe? Removing the battery is actually a Myth... In conclusion - do not remove the battery. |

QUOTE(winmac @ Jan 5 2009, 02:28 PM) Someone suggested me to remove the battery first before letting it run on power as it will affect the battery life. Any idea? I read somewhere that Apple advised NOT to do this!This is a MYTH. |
