Click on the Apple and go to "about this mac" and click, go to "more info" and click, go to "power" and click. That info should give you an idea what your battery health looks like and whether you are fully-charged, what % of charge and what was your original mAh was and what its current mAh is. Also, your cycle count should be at least 1, mine is 4 and I've had my BlackBook since February 28, 2008. My mAh currently is 5422 and original mAh was 5412. My initial charge to "green light" or 100% took about 1 1/2 hours. But, I was running other programs while it was charging.
What for? I've tried to plug in at both campuses as much as possible. Always a plug-in close by. I'm usually charging my iPhone and BT at the same time. 
well then wats the point of the portability? i do understand were your coming from but at the same time your losing ur batteries health arent you? I calibrate mine a lot and now im at 5384 mAH capacity and the original was 5020. So i've brought my battery life up by discharging. I'm just wondering wouldn't you want a longer lasting battery?
^ calibrate it: plug in till fully charged and leave for a couple of hours, unplug and discharge until it sleeps and leave a couple of hours then charge till full again.
