Coconutbattery readings should be taken with a grain of salt. Have you calibrated the battery yet?

I get the same thing on my MBA and it is normal. It just means your battery is holding slightly more charge than the design capacity. Kind of like if you bought a new AA 1.5 volt battery and it is actually holding 1.56 volts.

Coconut battery is actually very accurate. If you run the command below in Terminal you will see the reported readings from the OS match exactly those reported by Coconut.
