what's your battery's health?

[bearbo]

could you use coconut battery to post your battery's health?

i am especially interested battery health of MBP15", if you don't have coconut battery, use about this mac, more info, power, and read the number after "Full Charge Capacity (mAh)"

thanks

EDIT: for those of you confused, if you have a macbook pro 17", your "original capacity" is not 5500, it's about 6500

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

haha... mine is 99% now, 5480 mAh, MBP 15, 3 days old

 

[vraxtus]

Yeah mine is roughly the same... have had mine since Macworld. I wouldn't be too concerned about battery life decay this early though

that's true

Mine is: 5142. That's from About This Mac, and mine is 3 months old today. =)

any way to check out a PB G4 running 10.3.9? (my system profiler doesn't show power stats, and coconut battery is only for Tiger).

 

[mmmcheese]

Not sure how mine compares, but it seems alright to me...

hmmm...

From About This Mac: Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4464

Seems awfully low, huh? This MBP 15 in Core Duo is 8 months old

EDIT: 9 months old, according to coconutbattery. Original capacity: 5500 (a loss of 19%). Do I smell a recall in the future??? Or does Applecare cover this?

 

[bearbo]

those of you who have under 5000, how long does your battery last?

 

[djinn]

Thats mine.

 

[Nightkrawler]

Mine
(Capacity is a bit higher when the battery charge is at 100%)

 

[appleguru1]

Ewwwww

68% after only 4 months... Yuck (Granted.. 34 charging cycles.. but still).

 

[appleguru1]

Maybe I should try re-calibrating it? That's... dismal.

(Capacity is a bit higher when the battery charge is at 100%)

MBP 17"'s supposed full capacity is 6500

 

[paintballer]

djinn how do you have negative load cycles?

 

[mmmcheese]

68% after only 4 months... Yuck (Granted.. 34 charging cycles.. but still).

If calibration doesn't help, I'd be calling AppleCare...as you can see on mine, I have 60 cycles and mine has dropped 10%, which seems much more reasonable.

Hmm thanks for the info,
That means for me that i have to add "calibrate battery" to my todo list
(only calibrated once)

[daneoni]

Previous one, now....dead. R.I.P

The replacement, attached below.

 

[daneoni]

djinn how do you have negative load cycles?

His battery is brand new and hasn't even completed 1 cycle.

 

[paintballer]

His battery is brand new and hasn't even completed 1 cycle.

But wouldn't that be 0 charge cycles not -1?

 

[lu0s3r322]

can someone help me and figure out whats wrong with mine? it fluctuates a lot

That´s really bad. My PB G4´s at 80% after 312 cycles.
