Just a quick fyi... apple has released a new battery update (v1.2), you can get it using software update. I am installing it now, will report back on any issues/improvements.

I installed it. Don't really know what it did, but so far nothing wrong.
-
Installed here too. Some have said that their battery health goes back to 100%, I did not get that. Others have also claimed markedly better life. We will see.

I'll give it a shot and be a guinea pig as well
It crashed my macbook. Be carefull installing this one. I installed the 1.2 battery update and there was also a security update. It restarted properly but then I only got a gray screen. I hit the power button 3x and it would only boot to a gray screen. I turned it off again and this time held the option button down to open the dual boot menu. I booted into windows and then restarted and again held the option button down. This time I choose the os x option. It booted without issue.
Just a heads upMaybe install the security update separately?

I have had no problems so far, but dont notice any difference either.

for a while, my battery showed "charged" and green light on magsafe, but at 98%.. weird right? then i let it discharge and the charge went up to 100%..

Installed already. Doing a recalibration to see if that helps any too.

Thanks installing now -
seems that this update + a battery calibration did good to my battery life!
Battery Update 1.2 now available
