Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

Hmmmm

I have no understanding why this is happening but on my MacBook Pro 17inch when I launch Coconut Battery my my CPU's spin up to 80% plus utilisation.

This is a REAL drag on battery life.

I have also tried Battery Health Monitor and this works fine.

Maybe its just my machine but beware.
