[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 998774, member: 24098"] Batteries are not an exact science. There is no completely accurate way to meter the charge, which is part of what happens during calibration. Instead, the SMC in your Mac will make an educated guess about its health, capacity and longevity. Calibrating helps educate the SMC about your battery, but also stirs the electrons a bit and can lengthen its useful life. Not doing it right away is not going to make much, if any difference.
