My dad got it a few years ago for free for taking some night class about technology. Its a family computer, being used probably 10-30 hours a week. We have all noticed that the battery does not last NEARLY as long as it did the first year! Maybe like an hour using internet or itunes maybe? We have to constantly charge it now, which is also annoying.
Is this normal? how long do macbook batterries usually last? How much are new batteries?
Thanks! i will reward best answer!

This is completely normal; as a battery ages, it looses some of its capacity. I do not know how much yours has lost, however it sounds pretty bad. 1 hours battery life?
Replacements are about 100-120$ at the apple store.
