Apple Macbook Pro Battery Capacity with coconutBattery

Apple Macbook Pro Battery Capacity with coconutBattery by miahz.
So i'm really disappointed with this. My battery life had been noticably bad lately, but i wouldn't have guessed this bad.

coconutBattery says my current Maximum Capacity is only 12% of its original "new" capacity (719mAh instead of 5600mAh).

System Profiler also reports a "Check battery" condition.

I'm attempting a recalibration, but not sure if i did it right. I may have to take this up with Apple.

I don't know that calibration will add that much life to your battery after 10 mos. I assume it's still under warranty, I would call them, and get a new one for sure!!!! That is pretty bad.

Good luck, and thanks for your comment on my blog!

Well, after 3 hours of "Finishing" and "Calculating" at 99% it finally finished Charging last night.

This morning after sitting plugged-in all night, coconut reported about 20% capacity, so something helped. I unplugged it to drain one more time, and i'll try again tonight.
