My 2011 MBA 11" MC969LL/A is still pretty new and has only 8 charge cycles. But my battery capacity in both CoconutBattery and iStat both show it as being at 95%! Is something wrong? Maybe I should take it to the local Genius Bar to have them take a look at it? Just seems like too much of a drop in such a short period of time. Thanks.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
