[QUOTE="csegeek, post: 920027, member: 105154"] Hi, from my dealings with laptops calibrating the battery will not increase the Battery's percentage of charge .. so if you started with a 96% capacity after a calibration it will not increase .. in fact would expect it to decrease if anything. Battery's are disposable and loose the capability to charge to the full capacity every time you use it .. Apple suggests to calibrate so that you exercise the battery and so that the system really knows what the battery is capable of like a benchmark. as far as being only 5 week old and having lost 4% I don't know if that is a lot .. Have never had a brand new battery .. hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
