Not true.
This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions: Apple Notebook Battery FAQ
No. Do you calibrate at least once a month and use the MBP on battery every now and then?

in 16 weeks i have lost 11% of my macbook battery life. That does seem to me at least a defective battery.
My cousins regular macbook is currently at 79% and he has had his macbook for 13 months now, compared to the 16 weeks of my macbook pro.
also, my mac gets extremely hot, could this be a cause of this.
I have callibrated my macbook batter twice in the 4 months, so i have been caliberating it regularly.
I use the macbook everyday, i am a student so i carry it around wherever i go. It gets charged daily, outside the house i use the battery, inside the house i use it with the charger on.
Why has my battery drained so quickly?
