Well. This Sucks. Sucks big time.

Guess you understood what sucks. Battery life time of the my MBP sucks now. A small Google search resulted in few facts. There are so many people who have their Battery Load cycles more than 400 and even then their battery health better than 80%. And few with battery load cycles less than 200 and their battery health better than 80%. I’m in a awkward stage where I’ve lesser and more number of battery cycles than the both groups of people but battery life sucking badly at 45%

Well, there is a bright side of this story. This is NOT my personal laptop *Evil Grin*. This is my from my work. (Ofcourse, battery health and life sucks on my personal laptop too) Even then, its very much irritating when you laptop can live without adaptor only for 1 hour.

BTW, the screenshot is of the software named coconutBattery which does it work exactly as the screenshot next (System Profiler can also help)

Now, why the hell does my (your) MBP shows wrong information on the menu bar about the battery life ? I found some information on Apple’s site about calibrating battery so that it shows correct information in the menu bar. But, Apple help page’s summary tells that its same procedure for obtaining best performance. You can find those instructions at this Apple’s page. Will certainly update you guys if anything goes good after following the procedure.
