[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1746807, member: 234411"] Well, you can try a [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295"]SMC Reset[/URL] (System Management Controller) and/or run the battery completely down until the machine turns off, and then charge overnight - these maneuvers might reset the battery monitoring technology of the laptop and show improved results running Coconut Battery - not harmful and worth a try. Also take a look at the [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204054"]Apple KB Article on Batteries[/URL] - plenty of suggestions there, including running a [I]Apple Hardware Test[/I] (link provided) - not sure what info on the battery is provided, so others may have to reply. Good luck - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
