[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1246811, member: 24098"] Batteries are not an exact science. There is no "float in the tank", so to speak. So, your Systems Management Controller (SMC) makes educated guesses as to the health of the battery and its capacity based on analysis of usage trends. On a new machine, it will take some time before the SMC knows enough about the battery to make more accurate estimates. My advice is to not obsess over it. If you're having an actual problem (i.e. the battery run time is significantly shorter than it should be), then I'd be concerned. But the numbers don't (and will never) tell the whole story. [/QUOTE]
