old battery:
I took mine back just last week, and guess what?
They changed it, then said "if it does it again... bring it back"
wrong...
82% @ 188 cycles is pretty darn good.
i am at 95% after 25 cycles
&
91% at 90 cycles.
perfectly fine.

I'm at 91% with 237 cycles. Although I think that's wrong since just a day or two I was at 100%. iStat does that sometimes for whatever reason.
So what exactly is considered "not normal"?

id say something around 70% health when <100 cycles.
apple says the batteries start to die about after 500.. i spose thats somethiing under 50% original health.. although.. apple does say that if properly maintained battery health can be at 80% after 300.
your doing pretty will there, you discharge all the time?
I did some searchs in the forums and there were people with powerbooks at 95% with over 400 cycles. My battery IS at fault. I went from having 4 hours of battery life to just under 2 in 1 day. Before i recalibrated it it was actually only 40 mins of battery life. Tell me that something isnt wrong.
Hmmm, I am at 93% with only 37 cycles (bought in October last year). Maybe I should call and see what they can do
