battery optimization?

my powerbook back in'96 had a battery optimization program... it basically drained the battery and then charged it again...

does such program exist within osx?

I was guna post this in the osx/apps section but this is directed more for notebooks so I put it here...

thx for the help

You need a program to drain your battery and charge it for you? Just put on a few movies, screen fully bright until the thing puts itself to sleep, plug it in

also check out coconut battery if you want to know about your battery.

I have it

I switched my macbook today because the prev one got stained way too quick, and they gave me a new one... the older macbook had a badass batt at like 5300mah, but this one is at 99% batt life

Coconut battery is not entirely accurate. I displayed 100% one day, calibrated my battery, and then the next morning i was down to 95%. Now, 1 day later, I am at 99%. Diagnostic programs like Coconut battery are not good for you because it makes you concerned with things like the capacity of your battery when in fact its so inaccurate that its probably not worth concerning yourself anyway!

well right now my battery is drained, and within minutes it will go to sleep, then i'll recharge it
