    I have had my macbook pro for like about a month now and on coconut battery it shows 93 % health, I did calibrate it when I got my macbook, Is that normal 93 % in 19 cycles? Will recalibrating fix this ?

    Calibrating never hurts. Also check in the system details to see what OSX is reporting directly. Worst case, bring it in to Apple before the warranty is up, they are supposedly pretty good at taking care of battery issues.

    FWIW for comparison's sake: I got my 13" MBP last August, I checked my battery health a week or 2 ago and I was at 194 cycles and 96% battery health.

    Just use the laptop like it's supposed to be used ... If I worried about everything I bought I would never sleep.
