i just downloaded it , checked the battery and it says 193 cycles , and 26% health

is that good or bad?
 
Well 26% health means that the battery can only hold about 1/4 of its original capacity. How long have you had the battery?

That doesn't matter quite so much....

OP: Call Apple and tell them about this, they should replace the battery. With a health that low, and less than 300 cycles, you would be due for a new one.
 
How much uptime are you getting with your battery? It might just need calibration to provide the current health status, if you are getting a decent uptime.
 
i dont know i think it something wrong because i charged it the other day and after 20 minutes it said that its running out of battey , now today i was using the computer with half charge and the screen just went blank until i plugged in .
how do i calibrate it?
