Hi,
I have come to the conclusion that I need a new battery for my macbook. The current one is the original and is not giving great life naymore. Yes, I've tried re-calibrating it! it regularly jumps from 20%/30% to 0% and shuts down, and the other day it lasted for 30mins on 0% so even the calibrating did not help. The mah value left is always jumping up and down (low of 30% high of 75% from current values).
I generally get about 1.5 hours life from it, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Yes batterys can last longer but my cycle count is high enough for me to admit the battery was an average one and need replaceing!
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm dicuses lithium batterys well if anyone like a read!
Anyway I am to cheap to pay apple's battery prices for a 2 year old machine and was wondering if anyone around here knows of a good UK supplier of 3rd party batteries. This has probably been asked before but I could not locate anything current on the search.
Cheers.
