    Hello,
    I recalibrated my battery 2 days ago and my battery life dropped dramatically afterward to 89%, I don't know why. I only did 48 cycles for the moment.

    Is this normal ? :(

    Did you recalibrate properly? May be just a slight glitch. Try recalibrating it again.

    yes i did exactly what they say, more than 5 hours rest etc

    btw, at the end they say "let it charge until charge is complete."

    Can we use the laptop between this period or it has to be off ?

    You can use the laptop as long as the AC power cord is plugged in, be sure to use it only on power during the charge up time.
