I read that the mbp battery capacity is rated at 4800 mAh. When I use programs such as coconut battery, they say my original battery is rated at a maximum of 4600 mAh.

What are you guys getting for your original battery capacity?

I guess we need to change the auto settings for the coconut battery to recognized the size. maybe the program doesn't know the new mbp

No, you need to drop Coconut Battery and get iStat. Sorry, but I thought Coconut Battery was great until I was introduced to iStat.

I've got both iStat Menus and the iStat Pro widget.

Neither show such things as battery charge and capacity in terms of mAh, do they? All mine show are health, cycles, and current charge (percentage).
