You can't increase the maximum "mAh" of a battery. It is what it is.;)

calibrating the battery really isn't necessary until later in its life. light web surfing with the brightness turned down will get you possibly 4, 5 hours. brightness all the way up, web surfing will get you around 2 hours or even less. basically the internet uses a lot of battery up because of all the flash everywhere. other programs may drains battery depending on how taxing they are on your computer. check activity monitor and see what's taking up the most %. turn off bluetooth and you'll save battery. turn down brightness you'll save battery. apple is full of crap telling you you're macbook will get 10 hours of life. to achieve that result, a test was conducted by apple with the brightness at around 10% while running a really light program. so good battery is whatever you're doing that gets you the longest run.
