[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1664572, member: 56379"] I think that the actual capacity of individual batteries varies. So some variation should be expected. Whether 97.8% is acceptable or not I'm not sure I can say without more data. I'm assuming the replacement battery works better then the former battery…and since the battery was replaced via Applecare…in a way...the replacement battery was free. So…better working battery + free = :):) If you had actually paid the full replacement price for the battery $199 + tax…then I would certainly expect a brand new battery with 100% of design capacity left. Bottom line. I'm guessing 97.8% of design capacity with zero cycles is certainly much better than the previous battery. But it if REALLY does bother you that the replacement battery is not 100%…then sure…if it's worth the trouble & inconvenience…take it back. - Nick [/QUOTE]
