[QUOTE="flowrider, post: 778951, member: 32657"] Hello all. I am hoping that someone can confirm what I believe. I have a Macbook Pro that shuts down after about 5 minutes when on battery. Battery life has been decreasing but it has never been this short. I would normally get an hour out of it before it died but now I get no low battery warning or anything like that. It just dies. It just died and the battery said it was at 68% still. I'm thinking the battery is pooched and a new one is in order. Some background. It's about a year and half old. I didn't purchase the extended applecare warranty. Here's what iStat says: 38% health 68% battery 196 cycles Suggestions or thoughts? [/QUOTE]
