[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1174139, member: 24160"] My MBP is just over 4 yrs old. Definitely not the battery Apple has in the newer models. These only get 4 hour max brand new. I just use my Mac the way I want. I calibrate or not when I think about it. I really do not take care of it at all. I do not consider it at all - period. My wife's MB, is now 3 1/2 yrs old and has been calibrated I think 2 times now, is connected to power 100% of the time except when I borrow it. Hers is still sitting at 104% of original capacity. They are batteries. They wear out. They are not an exact science. If it costs me $50 a year for a battery, considering what these batteries do in a notebook - so be it. I am not going to concern myself with spending some inordinate amount of time worrying about it, thinking about it, checking it, or anything else to maybe save $15 a year in battery cost. When it gets down to less than 2 hours battery life, then I replace it. End of story. [/QUOTE]
