battery doesnt charge to 100% sometimes... so i calibrated my battery (charged it all up and used it and let it die and reconnect the laptop once it was fully dead)

and it went back to 100% but after about two days or so its back to 98% and says it is "Charged" is this normal? i mostly use the computer while plugged in.... ??? any help or solutions?
 
Mine does that too, I think it's just the delay in itself (the comp) updating its info or something because it takes ages for the indicator on the magsafe to change to orange when charging (it always shows green even when battery has been dead flat, for bout 5 mins after plugging in) & quite often it says "(calculating)" next to battery icon for about 10 mins before giving an estimate, or when going from 99% to 100% :rolleyes:( but it did go to 99 or 98% & say charged a few times. ) I don't think there are any solutions to this, I think it's just a rough estimate anyway.

Hope this helps :D
 
This is perfectly normal when you have your MB/MBP plugged in for days at a time.
