post your battery health

[zeiter]

I have 581 cycles and my battery health is 71% ...is this normal??? any thing I can do to try to improve this....the weird thing is that 2 days ago, istat would say my health was about 61%

 

[ajriggy]

almost down to 80% after only 114 cycles.

i too have a slightly low batt health.

Tbh the whole time i have had my mbp 13" (2.26/ 2009 Had the laptop since November last year, use it on mix of batt power and desktop, am a student so rely on the batt quite a lot) i have never really had 100% batt health. Always more 90-95.

But in the last three months that has gone down to nearer 87-89%

And now after my most recent calibration 'Watts' is saying that my batt health is only 81% after 114 cycles.
Coconut Batt says i have 4443mAh left and that the original capacity was 5450mAh.

Just wondering is this bad, it feels kinda bad considering it's meant to hold 80% for up to 1000 cycles.

Any advice from anyone?
Much appreciated.

my mbp i5 2.4Ghz battery health is not so good I think...

Defect battery?

I think i might have a defective battery

My MBP is only 4 month old (coconut battery) but i got in at the ending of August.

I only have 10 cycle so far and my battery is down to 89%! That like every time i charge it my capacity goes down by 1% with it

I've had my MBP for 8 months, 56 cycles and only at 91% health. What gives? It was actually at 96% health last night so I calibrated it and the result is now 91%. This reading is the same with both iStat and Coconut.

Coccunt Battery said I had 96%.
Whatever after 2 years I think its pretty good.
Watts doesn't show how old the battery is? Coconut did

 

[aimbdd]

Current Capacity: 4234 mAh
Original Capacity: 4600 mAh

92% health

Battery-Loadcycles: 415
Actual age of mac: 24 months

I have a late 2008 Macbook pro 2.53 ghz.
Makes me sad i have to really really make it try to last 2 and a half hours just using word... :[

Sorry to bump an old thread, but after calibrating my MBP (late 2008) original battery is at 99% health
Not bad after two years.

 

[iMpathetic]

*gulp* 37%???

About to calibrate it. 677 cycles shouldn't wear it down that much, should it?

I have a 15" 2.4 Late 2008 unibody with 583 cycles and 91% battery health.

This is mine. MBP 6,2 running 10.6.5. Just did a recalibrate last night and im noticing some improvement in my battery performance. Can anyone confirm if this looks like a normal reading? I am new to the MacBook Pro line and am really not sure what to expect battery wise.

103%

I just bought a 13" MacBook Pro yesterday from Best Buy. I installed this program iStat Pro on my dashboard and it says my battery health is 97% and I've only had 2 cycles. Is there something actually wrong with my battery? Or a problem with the iStat Pro program tracking it?

 

[Ann P]

Something's definitely not right.

 

[iBookG4user]

Something's definitely not right.

Not really, 92% is fine to be honest.

 

[gieppetto]

well, damn.

I made the jump to 10.6.5 and then this happened. It's now telling me to "service the battery". I'm pretty sure something's wrong here, I calibrated it and the system's battery indicator kept telling me it was "5 minutes until fully charged" for an hour before it actually signalled a fully charged battery.

(It was around 85-90% a day or two ago.)

Any ideas? What the hell do I do? There are no Apple Stores in Hungary and I've had bad experiences with authorized service providers.

 

[odklizec]

I'm shocked to see some stats in this post! Older batteries than mine are still at 95-100%? My current capacity is at 51% in just 18 months and 483 cycles and it says "Service Battery"

 

[Hisdem]

What are you guys running to get the battery usage up to 650 watts?

Anyway, not as good as I expected it to be, but still:

nope shouldn't my macbook has 700 and a battery health level of 101%

 

[HussainAL]

This is my Second Hand MBP 17" late 2006, calibrated it few times once I got it, about once a week, I work on battery for 4+ hours, still do the job.

 

[iMpathetic]

Weird. Well, I calibrated mine and now it's at 42%. Anyone have one of those cheap Chinese batteries? There's no way I'm dropping $100 on a battery...

 

[dmk1974]

Here's mine. It says 2 weeks, but I bought it brand new in box from Best Buy on Thursday (2 days ago).
