    There is a problem with your battery. You might have that checked out because apple had a battery recall. You might be using the defective batteries.

    first use the battery until your notebook goes to sleep. then charge it to full. if the calibration is off, that will help calibrate it.

    Plus apple notebooks will not charge the battery if it is above ~95% so as to not kill the battery off faster/earlier.
