Was the Battery Condition indicator in Leopard or is that a new feature in Snow Leopard? Pretty cool regardless!
Battery is Charged

and Energy Saver Preferences
These presets seem to have been removed in favour of one group of settings for "on battery" and one group of settings for "on power". They can be edited individually, and I imagine they'll work just fine overall. The differences between 'save power' and 'high performance' weren't all that notable or useful in Leopard, aside from being able to quickly disable sleep mode.whatever happen to changing to 'save battery life' or 'Max battery'
or something like that.
do you guys have that?
This probably means your battery is not holding a charge very well, likely due to age. You can check the System Profiler (the Power section) for more details, or try out coconutBattery. If you're still under AppleCare, you could alternately just give them a call.Does anybody get 'Service Battery', it's a little worrying!
to see battery health click track pad and option at the same time on the battery icon
It only shows up when your battery is dying and needs of a replacement.
My MacBook Pro shows it and my health is on 100% still after 51 cycles, it's definitely not dying. When I click the battery on the menu bar it says "Condition: Normal". I'll even post a screenshot when I get home if you really want.
