Battery mAh, power adapter, water..

[golop]

Hi,

are these numbers ok? I consider this is realy bad, I saw the same MBPs from that year with better battery life.

mAH is changing constantly +- 1000mAh and sometimes my mac will shut at 30%

I think the problem could be in power adapter in macbook. Or power adapter.

Have to say that one time by power adapter was in contact with beer and acted weird when I plugged in mac. For a while wont even charge.

I'm thinking to get diagnose or just by a new battery.

what do you think?

thanks,

As your battery health is so low, it's definitely time for a new battery. Your charger has nothing to do with your battery's health.

Mine is just like yours. This battery is from the 2008 MacBook Pro. The battery last about 30 to 40 minutes with a capacity of 1000 mAh. It's time to switch it to a new one. But I'm holding off on that since new laptops from Apple are coming soon and I'm itching to buy a new laptop.
