[QUOTE="mgreene95, post: 618373, member: 51322"] I was faced with a similar problem on my MB Pro which wasn't even 7 months old. It would shut off completely randomly, even when the battery power would read around 44%. I downloaded a cool little program from the Apple.com downloads section called Coconut Battery which monitors your battery life. As it turns out, I just had a completely defective battery and my local Apple Store replaced it for free. I'm not sure that keeping the computer plugged in on the MB shortens the battery life as it does with cell phones. I would download Coconut Battery and check that stuff out. [/QUOTE]
