[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1527000, member: 56379"] Yes...with only 6 cycles on it...it does sound like a new battery. So good for you!:) But back to what I said earlier...battery runtime on a full charge greatly depends on what the computer is doing. On a 2006 MBP (under the most ideal conditions)...it's supposed to get 4-5 hours of runtime on a full charge. But if someone is gaming on it...that runtime can be seriously lower...and 2 hours would not surprise me. 2.0 to 2.5 hours is about how long the battery would last on a full charge if you were watching videos as well. - Nick [/QUOTE]
