    My current battery capacity is 6,008; however, 4 days ago it was 6033. I am not sure if this is normal; it seems to be going down pretty fast. Do MBP 2010 continue to charge after the battery has been filled? I searched for this but I failed to locate it if a thread already existed. Thanks! :confused:

    Just use your laptop and stop losing sleep at night over this. Batteries degrade over time, it's simple physics and no advice anyone gives you on here will make that untrue.

    Oh and potential measuring tools have their own confidence interval of accuracy, they'll give you different results under different conditions ... In other words, don't worry about it.

    it depends on how you use it. if you drain the battery everytime before recharging it, it will end up faster. you should recharge it when it has reached 25% of its capacity.also battery health will sometimes also increase depending on how you use it.
