[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1785236, member: 46727"] Hi Ron: It looks like that battery is approaching the end of its life. Apple says that it should get 1000 cycles of charge-recharge and it appears that it has 1598 cycles on it. You might want to keep an eye on it and maybe think about replacing it. A new battery for a 2011 MacBook Pro can be had from a third party supplier or eBay. Apple no longer has batteries for that year model as it is more than 6 years old. You might want to take a look at [url]www.macsales.com[/url] to see if they have a battery for it. And like I said, you can find them on eBay but the quality of some of those batteries is questionable. But if you can get one cheap enough and it lasts 2 years, then it might be OK. Or, don't even bother with a battery replacement and just use it on AC power all the time. But like I said, keep an eye on that battery to make sure it is not swelling. [/QUOTE]
