Hey everyone;

I bought a MBP C2D 6 months back, and all of the sudden a few weeks ago after 147 cycles the battery life went from 3 or 4 hours to about 45 minutes. The max charge amount went to half (around 2600), pretty much overnight. It didn't start until a few weeks after the battery update was installed.

Apple just sent me a new battery, and although I'm currently in the conditioning run down cycle, it's looks like it's only good for a few hours at best and it's new. After one charge the life has already gone from a max of 5500 to 5400.

Has anyone else had this happen, received a new battery, only to have its capacity get eaten too?

Let me know
