why does my battery only last a short time?

Macbook pro intel i5 8 gigs ram.


The battery seems to die very quickly compared to when if first got the computer. It is only about 1 month old.


The battery only last about 2 hours tops on a full charge.


Any ideas?

You may need to let the battery completely discharge such as leaving it on overnight without going to sleep. I'd do that at least once a month. Then completely recharge it; leave it charge at least another hour longer than when the bettery says it's fully charged. Doing that regularly should help. Post back if it didn't seem to help.
