New battery doing strange things
So, I've replaced my old battery as it was getting to 80% capacity. After calibrating the new battery for the 1st time, the capacity reached 75% and the charger then shut off and wouldn't charge anymore. So I thought I'd try the calibration again and this time the charge reached 85% before the charger shut off.
I'm gonna try another calibration now but who knows what will happen this time!
Any ideas what could be happening?
EDIT: images from coconut with and without charger. after the 3rd calibration attempt, the max is now 68%!

Cheers Dan. Ok will do. I've just completely depleted the battery so gonna charge it now until it stops charging and then i'll upload the screenshots
Это хороший вопрос?
Lets get a view of things install this gem of an app CoconutBattery lets get a snapshot of apps main window once with the MagSafe connected and a second time with it disconnected and the battery is not fully charged ~80% Post both here for us to see Adding images to an existing question

as a side note....the percentages were all over the place while discharging. it's now been 7% for about 20 mins with moderate usage which isn't normal.

@Salvatore Mirabile - Lets clean the MagSafe connector use a cotton swab and 85% or better isopropyl alcohol. Reference this Apple T/N Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

that's the first thing i did before my second calibration. by the way, I'm still at 7%
another thing i noticed was when the battery goes flat, i don't get the dead battery symbol anymore but instead the MacBook tried to actually boot but then fails due to the battery being almost flat. getting stranger!
