Hi folks...

My MacBook's battery is acting up... When I check my battery status it almost always says that it's like 80% "health" (it's got 80% of the original capacity), but some times it drops to 60%...
Even wierder is that whenever I reach about 45% on the battery percentage (when I haven't got it plugged in) it just dies like if the battery was indeed at 5% or something like that...

I've tried resetting the power-sensor or what ever it's called from a guide at apples homepage but nothing... Should I take it in and complain or is there anything more I can do before doing that?

My warrenty periode is running out soon...

Edit: I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask... :)
 
definitely take it in if you have the warranty and it is about to run out. they will just give you a brand new battery.
