[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 321591, member: 23228"] Calibrating doesn't actually put more juice in the battery, it just lets the machine "read" the battery level better. Apple advertises 300 cycles. coconutBattery 2.5.1 says I've had 68 loadcycles over 3 months, I'm at 5227mAh or 95%. Then I unplugged the charger (I'm at 100%), restarted coconut and it reports 5232mAh ... an increase of 0.1%. As a rule, I try to keep my computer running at between 40% and 100%. I do the calibration thing once a month, and of course there are times when I run the battery down without meaning to. I'm probably running the computer on average 45-50 hours per week. [/QUOTE]
