MacBook Pro – Battery RIP

About 2 weeks ago the battery performance on my machine took a sudden nose dive. Worse than the fact that it started giving me only about 1 hour, is the fact that its become perfectly unreliable in terms of watching the battery meter. (Once it reaches about 30% it switches off).
