10.4: View battery cycle count in System Profiler
Authored by: blizz1975 on Jun 25, '05 04:41:31PM

I had the same problem with a Titanium Powerbook. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the battery. My Aluminum Power Book has the same setting as yours set to no and I still get the warning. If your machine is less than a year old you can probably get a new battery free of charge. Even with AppleCare they don't like to replace batteries after a year, it seems. In fact my battery has been losing capacity and they don't want to replace it. Your problem is probably with the chip on the battery not communicating properly to the Power Manager and that should get a replacement. Good Luck ;-)
