Macbook Pro shut down on first calibration

[sulhaq]

Hey Guys,

I just got my 17'' i7 yesterday and after doing the usual setup I decided to calibrate the battery.

I was using the laptop all day and late into the night so I changed energy saver settings to "Never Sleep" and "Never turn off monitor" Unchecked "Put hard-disks to sleep when possible" and went to bed.

When I woke up the battery was at 2% and the low battery warning was showing.

I clicked ok and started browsing the net. About 5 minutes after hitting 0% the macbook pro shut down instead of sleeping.

I have read many threads on this using MRoogle but they never address if Energy Saver settings have anything to do with safesleep. So, is this a real problem and I should return it? Or did it happen because in Energy Saver I told it to never sleep (I would assume it's the former).

Thanks for the help!

I'm having the same exact problem, pretty much.

Were you ever able to find a solution?

My situation is here.

Thanks.

No, it's not a problem. If you leave it unplugged for 5+ hours, it should fully drain the battery. As it says in the calibration steps:

After your computer goes to sleep, turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
