After installing Battery-Time-Remaining 1.5.1 I have problems with the complete charge of the battery!! Seems like it won't recognize when it's fully charged. It is always "Calculating" how long it takes until it's 100% and stucked at 5081 of 5133 mAh. Some more information: Cycles: 43 Temperature 30,7°C

MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 - 2,5 GHz - 8Gb RAM

iStat, the Mac Os App and "SlimBatteryMonitor" having the same issue of not knowing when the battery charged to 100%.

Releasing the AC power adapter iStat changes to 100% followed by the Battery-Time-Remaining-App and SlimBatteryMonitor telling me that it full charged.

5133 of 5133 mAh and stuff.

When I plug in the power adapter again it turns green for a second and the different battery symbols show that, too. Just a second later everything turns into charging and calculating how long it takes to charge (without a result) and power adapter turns from green to orange.

Update: Fixed it using the SMC reset, but uninstalled the app before, so I can't tell if the SMC would have fixed the problem with the installed app.

I am using apples public api IOPSGetTimeRemainingEstimate() to get the estimated time and I only show what IOPSGetTimeRemainingEstimate gives. So it isnt much I can do about this.

Good that a SMC reset fixed it.
