Hey all.
I got a brand new white macbook 2 weeks ago. Loving every bit of it since then.
I installed iStat Pro as one of the widgets to monitor my battery health and system activity. The battery health started with 100% and gradually degraded to 99, then 98 and so on. Now it's at 95%. I've only used 13 charge cycles yet.
What's going on?
Is this normal?
My battery gives me good time till now with about 6 hours with medium brightness and airport turned on and about 5 apps running simultaneously.
Should I be concerned about this battery health figure?
