Hi, I have my MBP now for about a week and has had 4 charge cycles, but I charged it only once and coconut says the MBP is 19 months old, can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture, it also charges up until 96%.

Since the machine is only a weeks old, I would let Apple sort this out. Take it on in to your local Apple store (make an appointment first) and let the genius bar look at it.

Regards.

must be something wrong since your current maximum charge is above the original max charge.

You know, that's what I noticed too, but I discarded the thought that something serious would be wrong here, a mistake.
Shucks!! now I have to bring it back, probably.
Or is this something I can wait on.

thx

The battery problem seems to have corrected itself... for now.
It's at a 100 % again, doing fine.
Keep you posted here.
Thanks for all replies...

Did you calibrate the battery?

With the adaptor plugged in green light on with 96 - 99% showing the battery will not be charging but once it gets to 95 - 96 it kicks in and charges back to 100% Your Coconut battery shows charger connected but not charging, so i would watch it for a few cycles before getting too worried about it.

I don't think I'm familiar with calibrating batteries...
