Yesterday I noticed that the battery charge icon says "(Not Charging)". Also, it's only got about 6 minutes of battery power left, even though I haven't been using it unattached from AC power (other than in sleep mode while moving between AC power sources). About This Mac report is at the bottom of this post. Is there anything I can do, myself, to fix this? Do I really need a new battery this early in its life (17 months)?
