I think my battery is bad now on my MBP. When I plug it in it doesnt say that its charging and it keeps going farther and farther down in % left.
Not sure what to do? Anyone got any ideas? Can I reset anything to make it charge?
Thanks

have you tried using cocanut battery (http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/) to see what it says about it?
might be your charger going bad, i assume it works on the charger though?

Judging by that...it looks like your battery is fine.
