Cannot Finish Charge

Question

Hi,
I have a MB Air that cannot finish its charge (it sits there with "Finishing Charge" for days straight, at 99%). The green light won't come on anymore. Also, it now takes only 30 minutes to charge to 99%, with an empty battery.
When unplugged, I get maybe an hour of battery life, at the Low setting, Bluetooth off, with just Safari running.
This changed from about 2 weeks ago. Before that, everything was peachy - 3+ hours of battery life.
Here's what System Profiler says at "Finishing Charge":
Battery Information:

Full charge capacity (mAh): 1684

Obviously it says "check battery." Does this mean I have to call Apple? I have reset PRAM (or whatever the equivalent on the intels is) and the PMU.

Answer 1

Yes, call Apple and make an appointment for a battery replacement. My full charge capacity is 4894. When the capacity gets as low as yours, it is time for a replacement and you are still under warranty.
Check with your local Retail store and see if the genius can do instore replacement. (I hope that they can since many of us will be nearing that possibility in the near future.)
