[QUOTE="saysana13b, post: 1322810, member: 176333"] I've had this battery problem for about 5 days now. It is the Service Battery warning. I've attached the coconutbattery log. As you can see, the battery capacity JUMPS from high 80s to about 23% in a given day, or even hour. I do not want to buy a new battery if it turns out the problem isn't the battery. What would be your take on this? Any inputs? The cycle count on the battery is 425. Seems somewhat usual for a 21mt year old machine? Also, the coconutbattery readings are arranged by date, and then by %. Right now its at 26% capacity. Earlier it was 89%. I have reset the SMC and PRAM what all those goodies. I have updated my current software. I am running SL, 10.6.8. I have TRIED to calibrate the battery. But it is hard when the battery is read at 26% capacity and dies out when in reality it is in the 80s.
