[QUOTE="AUZambo, post: 1170788, member: 22414"] The bad reviews are from Apple's web site. It averages 2 out of 5 stars...but a lot of the bad reviews that I read are also people complaining about the original battery that came with their MBP. Mine is 4 years old and never has given me any problems. I have considered that the people most likely to take the time to review a product are the ones who have had a negative experience. Not many people call a company to say, "Hey, remember that washing machine I bought last year? No? Well, I'm just calling you to let you know it still works." Calibrating a battery is simply letting it cycle regularly, right? We do usually keep the computer plugged in, but about once a week I make sure to use it one day without the charger attached, and I'll use it 'til it shuts itself off due to lack of power. Then I charge it that night. [/QUOTE]
