Well, my battery appears to be buggered, it's been gradually getting worse, going from holding over 5 hours, to 4, 3, 2, 1, half an hour, 10 minutes, a couple of minutes, even though the battery indicator was displaying 100% and over 30 mins time, and now I just unplugged my MacBook to move it upstairs, and it's turned it's self off half way to getting there, and now the battery isn't recognised at all, coconut battery just crashes.

I tried to recalibrate it over and over, but it didn't make any difference at all.

I'm thinking I'll have to buy a new battery?

Unless there is anyhting else you think I could try?

It's about 2 years old now

Edit: Ok, it's detected it again now, but the battery is pretty buggered as you can see from coconut battery:

Also, the plug on my magsafe is broken as well (I'm on my third one now) so whenever I move it the connection gets broken and the MacBook dies, so it's a bit annoying

The battery update hasn't made any difference unfortunately :(

This is what system profiler says:

I only had one year warranty, but looking at the link Sic posted, it might be possible to get it replaced.

Anyone else have any ideas?
