[QUOTE="Juan Largo, post: 679607, member: 47345"] Your battery may not be dying. The "fuel guage" might by way off and may need to be recalibrated. Check this out: [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490[/url] If you run your notebook from the charger most of the time, the calibration can be affected. BTW, the newer lithium batteries don't have "memory" problems like the old nickel batteries, so lithium batteries don't have to be fully discharged periodically. In other words, leaving the charger on won't hurt the battery. [/QUOTE]
