[QUOTE="zippythecellist, post: 1634030, member: 329218"] Last october, I had to get the battery in my mid 2010 17" macbook pro replaced...I'm running the 10.9.5 os. When the battery was installed, coconut battery said it had a maximum charge of about 13,200 or 13,300 mAh....now it is telling me it is at 10,617 mAh, when it was at 11,377 mAh last night before I went to bed. I only charge my computer about once a day, MAYBE twice if I had a lot of stuff to work on. I don't recall my old apple battery that my computer came with discharging nearly as fast, so I'm wondering if it's actually normal to lose 2000+ mAh in just a few months, not to mention losing 700 in not even a day? My battery has 116 loadcycles right now... edit: I'm thinking the answer to my question may be an unfortunate yes. :( After my ipad finished syncing, coconut battery tells me that my battery has 12,876 mAh left. Somebody please tell me this fluctuations are normal, because I'm not going to be happy if another $180 battery purchase is going to be needed this year. [/QUOTE]
