Battery App for MBP

Macers · 2012-01-25 23:53:54

Done a quick search and couldn't immediately see any similar threads... Looking for an app for my 2011 MBP. An app the monitors the battery and reminds when I've to calibrate etc - there are many apps like this for the iPhone but none (that I can see) that do the same for a MBP. A search threw up Coconut Battery, Watts etc…

As far as I know, there is no way to calibrate the battery on recent Macbooks.
Another vote here for Coconut though when it comes to monitoring.

Yes. Pre '09 batteries needed calibration.
