not sure what happens but all of a sudden the battery meter shows 10:00 of battery life. furthermore, istat shows 100% battery health. i'm pretty sure it's wrong because my battery health used to be about 91% (and of course we all know it won't last for 10 hours!) is it about time to replace my battery??
Got a tip for us?

try resetting your SMC..
does everything look ok under system profiler>power?
what is your full charge capacity? between 4000-5000 mAh?
and it never hurts to reset your PRAM ;D
Have you "downgraded" to Snow Leopard? Unfortunately, SL has some weird quirks with the battery reporting. Mine has shown "service batter" randomly... I reboot and it goes away. I haven't seen it yet since 10.6.2... so maybe that fixed it?
If you have SL this will make sense... if you don't, better take it in to Apple.

My Early-2008 MBP had a "service battery" warning that would pop up intermittently since the UPgrade to Snow Leopard. So I took it into the Apple Store. They did their own testing and gave me a BRAND NEW BATTERY. Pretty sweet I'd say (I do have AppleCare, but it generally doesn't cover Batteries beyond 1 year)
