Macbook/Pro Battery Comparison Thread

[coledog]

We don't really have one of these...just a lot of battery problem threads.

From your System Profiler>Power (so we all get the same readings).
Put down your CYCLE COUNT and your FULL CHARGE CAPACITY.
Also just for more clarification show whether you own a Macbook (CD or C2D) or a Macbook Pro (CD or C2D).
