.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Battery life

My MacBook Battery is almost new but only runs for a short while then dies. Whats wrong?

The MBP battery has been designed not to develop memory and hence last much longer. The thing that software cannot control is actual battery usage. The battery must be used every week, at least once, to maintain healthy cells. Even if you are not on location, once a week simply pull the charger from your MBP connector and let the battery run to zero. If your battery is already weak you can start by giving it a complete discharge ever 48 hrs, and letting it recharge, it may well bring the weaker cells back up to their nominal value again. Do this for two weeks and your battery status should be back to good. Download Coconut Battery from our downloads to see how much of the Amp hours cycle is left in your batterry's cells. This app also tells you the age of the battery, battery load cycles, current capacity over design capacity and age of your Mac. geoffb
