Hey everyone!
Lately I've been having some issues with my iBook's battery. When I open an application that tells me its health and its current status, it says it has 86% health (3803mAh vs 4400mAh when new) and has 250 battery-loadcycles. Well my issue is as follows . One day I used the battery until my iBook just randomly shut off completely, no sleep mode, nothing like that. Therefore , I plugged in the laptop, and it started charging with the orange light on the power connector. Later on, I came back and the light was green. When I turned on my laptop I found that instead of having charged up to 100% , it charged to 47% (1800mAh) with the green light on, also at the battery meter on the menubar got stuck showing : (calculating) but it stays like that... Therefore , later on, I tried discharging and charging again only to get similar results ; except that this time up to 45%. What's going on? I'm guessing the health of my battery is more like 50% rather than the 86%...? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!
