I have just done the first calibration on the Macbook battery after a couple of days of ownership.

I charged the Macbook fully when it first powered it on, let it run right down and it went into a sleep state, I left left it overnight and started charging this morning.

After 4.5 hours the magsafe was still showing an orange light so I powered the Macbook up and it switched to green, I checked battery capacity in System Profiler and Coconut and they are both reporting:

Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4796
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4796
Amperage (mA): -1
Voltage (mV): 12563
Cycle Count: 1

Anyone any idea's what's wrong?

Edit: Ok scratch that, after removing the magsafe the capacity is being reported as 5104mAh out of 5200mAh so I guess it was just a bug.
 
Charging takes a very long time (at least it does on my MBP), so are you sure you've waited long enough?
