Strange thing is, after didn’t use the battery for some times, I recall it’s like about 4 months, my battery life span getting shorter and shorter each time I reuse them, so I figure I give it a try. That’s what I got, and it’s shocking! Just look at it, how much it change from time to time. What’s wrong with my battery?

I didn’t use battery most of the time, but I do tried to use it on monthly basic. Look at the battery recycle, it was 95 on the first day and I have to test them for 3 days, all 3 days they gave me different capacities, sigh… I’m not going to get a new battery in anyway though, but for sure I’m getting a new laptop soon :D

But since I’m using the “hottest” and the more advance laptop (MacBook) so I give it a test! And it’s a stupid plan to take…

It’s not like I’m a gold cufflinks kind of people, I can’t afford another battery for sure, obviously the power of this battery is really unstable now. Of course it can’t be used for 3 hours, not even a sharp 2 hours, sometimes it works very well, sometimes it run only for an hour plus, it’s a 16 months old machine so far, I’m going to do some observation on the screen and keyboard now…

Ok, I know it’s not much about my one year old Macbook, but I’m trying to renew my Macbook now :P Well, obviously I can’t afford a brand new model, but a little update and upgrade is possible though. Recently I just ordered a brand new Macbook upper case, mine one haven’t get any yellowish, but it’s a bit old and somehow, the lids are cracking some part of the upper case (Near touchpad).

At the same time, I’m planning to get some new rechargeable batteries as well. This original battery now only stay for 2 hours max! Nothing more nothing less, when I first got this Macbook, the power were more than 5000mAh, but not it’s only 3000+mAh, with only 87 cycles, I’m deeply suspecting this battery is coming to be faulty!
