Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her MacBook Pro on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal.

[paddy]

MB 2.16
Age 3 months
Cycles 76

Not too bad I suppose.

Edit: It's since jumped back up to 100% according to iStat and CoconutBattery, weird but I'm not complaining!

Battery 1

[oldtime]

2.0 ghz CD Macbook

Age: 16 months
Current cap.: 1372 mAh (26%)
Original cap.: 5200 mAh
Load cycles: 479

I know 479 is a lot of cycles, but to lose so much capacity is ridiculous. Can I go down to the Apple Store and have them swap out my battery for a new one? Is it covered under Apple Care?

Running strong...
