Hi, having just had this notebook for 3 days, noticed some odd fluctuations in the capacity of the Battery. Its been through 3 cycles, the 1st=100%, the 2nd=95% and now its sitting on 93% (according to Coconut Battery). Is there something wrong with my battery or is this normal? Thanks, oh and I did calibrate the first cycle.
 
Well one thing is that you are using a cycle a day, you want to put as few cycles on your battery as possible. It maybe because you have put on a cycle a day that you are seeing the fluctuations because it is a brand new battery.

Yeah, I tried leaving it connected to power supply after following the calibrating steps, that's when it dropped down to 95%. So no need to worry?
