My Macbook Pro battery.

Hello,

I'm wondering, my MBP gets pretty hot above my brightness keys, but my app also discussed above says it's only 31.1 degrees Celsius. So is that normal?

Thank you

so, what you mean is that your computer only charges to a maximum

of 93%?

Yes. when the battery is fully charged, it is only 93% of its design capacity.

I took my MBP to the apple store, and they replace the battery for free.

Nice, mine is only 99%, have you got any idea if that will do? ;D

I believe its very normal.I have a macbook pro 13'' mid 2013 model and every time that i put the charger to recharge the battery,it gets hot in the far left side of the keyboard.when recharge is done and i remove the magcord it starts to cool down again.so nothing to worry about.

I'm just upset that 266 milliampere-hours have been decreased from design capacity.

The "design capacity" number is a target value. No two new batteries have exactly the same initial capacity at the time of their manufacture. Your actual capacity might be MORE than the target, as is my 13-inch MBP that I bought in June:

My old 2007 MBP was slightly under the average value for its version but was within a percent or so. And it wasn't a battery that killed it off.

If you buy an automobile that is rated at 200 horsepower and had a test machine that could measure HP precisely, you would find that your engine might put out 202HP or maybe 197HP. Same thing--allowable manufacturing tolerances. They surround you every day, from the pencil you use for writing to the jumbo jet that safely wisks you though the skies. If allowable manufacturing tolerences make you nervous, you will not have a happy life!
