Read post #20.What's up with that? Straight out of the box and supposedly fully charged, yet my remaining charge isn't up to its full charge capacity?
Hi everyone. Just got my Macbook Air 13" like an hour ago, there are some things I'm a bit concerned about...
Concern #1
Plugged it in and immediately got a green light. Unplugged, plugged back in, still green. Left it plugged in for a bit but no change, started up the computer.
Went through the basic setup and as soon as I got to the desktop, checked my Power under System Info.
Cycle Count 0
Fully Charged: Yes
Charging: No
Concern #2
Full Charge Capacity 6507
Charge Remaining: 6218
What's up with that? Straight out of the box and supposedly fully charged, yet my remaining charge isn't up to its full charge capacity?

Check the battery health using istat. I had a 13" that right out of the box had a health of 78%....apple replaced it and confirmed the battery was defective. Granted yours is 96%, which is completely normal
Oh okay thanks guys. It was more the immediate green light that threw me off, and made me think it might have a problem fully charging or something since I expected it to be red for a while till it completed its first charge according to all the info I read. Still kinda strange for it to arrive fully charged, no? I thought they were supposedly shipped at 50%
They usually come partially charged, but not charged to any specific percentage.Oh okay thanks guys.

I have seen them come both ways. My 13" came at about 50%.....my 11" came closer to 90%
