[QUOTE="ImmortalBeloved, post: 1015536, member: 108225"] I have previously posted about a battery issue and since followed the instructions for calibrating the battery and still the issue persists. Basically what's happening is even when I calibrate the battery per the instructions on the Apple website about once a month I am never getting more than 2 hours of life from my battery. The machine is less than a year old or I have had it less than a year rather. When I got it I had as much as 6 hours or more on a full charge! Now I get never more than two. My istat widget says Health: 96% Cycles: 184 Charge: 83% 1:04 remaining. When I first plugged it in after calibrating it was telling me I had 2 hours of batter time at just 14% charge. How can it be going down now with more charge? Should I take it to the Genius Bar? I miss having longer batter life :( [/QUOTE]
