Battery Weirdness

[swiftaw]

I was having some battery issues, and was trying to decide if it was a worn out battery or a defective charger. I thought I should probably try resetting the PMU to see if that helped before running out and replacing the battery/charger.

Anyways, after resetting the PMU I restarted the machine, and it told me that it would take over 35 hours to charge the battery full. Hmm, I checked coconutBattery and got this information (see attached image)

Any thoughts on what is going on?

Sweet.
You battery is evolving.
You just got a huge boost in capacity.

Try draining the battery all the way down.
Then charge it backup.
That should take care of it.

I let the battery drain until my Powerbook slept, then connected the charger. Still shows super high capacity.

Try calibrating the battery as Unorthodox mentioned, and then resetting the PMU immediately afterwards, in that order.
