Crappy battery >:C

[Sting05]

I bought my macbook pro a few months ago and was amazed at how long the battery lasted, but that didn't last long.
34 battery cycles and the health is down to 97%, its even worse than my old aluminum macbook,which had the crappiest battery life ever.Period.
Does this happen to everyone? or did this just happen to me?
Anyways very angrythe advertised 7hrs is a 5hrs.

I haz Macbook Pro Intel core i7. Fu scamming people.

Yeah, **** Apple.
Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Have a look at Activity Monitor (Applications / Utilities /) and select All Processes and sort by CPU to see what the culprit may be.

Chill. It will fluctuate. One day i'm at 97 the next i'm at 100. It's normal. Enjoy your Mac.

Seriously? You don't even mention how long your battery lasts.

FYI, battery health means nothing if you don't calibrate your battery regularly.

Tks, err nothing useless on the activity monitor. On the battery calibration thing, on my old macbook, i never did that and it worked fine.
I thought the battery health would be better on a Macbook pro but...
Anyways, tks again

And calibrating is only really useful if your battery meter is slightly off.

Keep watching your battery levels closely, you'll see how the battery goes down fast from 100 to 95/6/7, but then stays stuck in there for a very long time. Battery life isn't linear, so you needless to say you wont have 90% in a few cycles more.

You have barely used it, for you to get an accurate perception of how the battery is using allow it to run more cycles and then you will know if it's a bad battery, which Apple cover with the standard 1yr warranty.
