Replacement Battery Capacity
Hello
Yesterday i received a new iBook battery which i ordered from Apple UK to replace my dying existing battery. I installed the battery and ran Coconut and it showed 100% capacity at 4400mAh. I fully charged it then unplugged the power cable and ran the iBook until it went to sleep as per the calibration instructions on Apples site.
I have just ran Coconut again and after one charge cycle its saying the battery is at 99% capacity (4359mAh). So from one charge cycle the battery has lost 41mAh. Is this normal for a new battery? I am concerned that it has lost a disproportional amount of capacity for one charge cycle.
Should i be concerned?
