[QUOTE="zippythecellist, post: 1634059, member: 329218"] Oh, ok...that makes more sense. Coconut battery tells me that the design capacity is 13,000 mAh, (although I do remember my battery having around 200-300 more than that the day it was installed after I checked it) and now the maximum charge is at 10,786 mAh after 116 loadcycles. Like I said earlier, that is really weird since coconut battery was telling me that number was 12,876 just a day ago. Would an smc reset stop the weird fluctuations in that number? I'm finding it very hard to believe that just a little over 100 cycles can seriously take 20% of the design capacity away, especially when the battery my computer came with took a few hundred cycles to get to that point. I always thought it was bad for the battery to continually charge it by keeping my computer plugged in all the time. I'm guessing I'm probably wrong about that though? [/QUOTE]
