Just yesterday, my macbook just won't recharge. It was at 62% when I left it plugged in, and I came back 2 hours later and it was still stuck at 62%. Do I need a new battery?

EDIT: Also, if I set my icon to show the remaining time, it stays at "calculating until full".

Same problem

I have the same problem, but the light on my charger doesn't light up, does that mean it's the charger? My battery is empty, but i can turn on my computer when it's plugged in. If i then take the charger off my computer shuts off.

Seems like the charger, get a new one if you can, maybe under warranty?
