hey everyone,
so i created an account to post here because i found something very odd that happened to my battery...i was using my computer and took it off the charger and noticed out of nowhere that i only had 49 mins remaining so i was searching google like crazy and reading about calibrating it and all that so i figured i was going to do that..well on my way to draining the battery it hit 37% with 21 mins left then i clicked a link on google looked back and the battery is back to 87% with 3:34 left and now its at 86% with 4:37 left...what is going on hahaha it makes no sense...here is my battery info

Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 3558
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4166
Health Information:
Cycle count: 114
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -779
Voltage (mV): 11966

as you can see my cycle count is very low even though my computer is pushing 2 years old so can anyone figure out what happened???


thanks so much for everyone:)
