battery info from terminal

Hello,

I bought my MacBook this weak and on the first use I followed the callibration procedure. My first impression for the battery was that it was not as good as of the iBook. The battery indicator never showed more than 4 hours (well, actually it showed more but very quickly decreased) even though i did callibartion the first day. I would like to ask other users of MacBooks what info do they get when using this command in terminal "ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity". These are my results:
"CurrentCapacity" = 1836
"LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Capacity"=5125,"Amperage"=2697,"Cycle Count"=3,"Current"=1836,"Voltage"=11682,"Flags"=7}
"MaxCapacity" = 5125
"DesignCapacity" = 5020

As you can see the Design capacity is indicated less than the Max Capacity which i find strange. Could you please provide me with yours stats?

Thanks


MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
