[QUOTE="zippythecellist, post: 1634047, member: 329218"] Well, I've only noticed this today. Until today, the max capacity was at 98% of the design capacity according to coconut battery, which is about what I would expect after 3 months. I know a computer will lose charge overnight, but I'm talking about the mAh actually left in the battery...losing 1000-2000 mAh is what I would expect after a whole year of use, not 3 months. But you are basically saying that I only need to worry about the max capacity number when it is fully charged? I thought it didn't matter how charged it was since I didn't think the max capacity would change as the battery gets drained, but I'll have to start taking note of that every time I charge my laptop from now on I guess...
