Bob, you might research calibrating the battery. It might be off a little, but I have heard of it being off by anything significant.?
My guess is the 6% is fairly accurate. Only 2 years on a battery is possible.?
As to MBP reliability, my early 2008 MBP, under warranty, it has gone thru a motherboard early on, and 2 keyboard, as the warranty was running out. It is on its 3rd removable battery. Only issues are that it has an old OS and old 3rd party software.?

What happens if you remove the laptop battery and run on mains power only? Do the beachballs go away?
This is extremely complicated with this model and he can¡¯t manage it with his RA.
Is the battery still charging at all? If not, it might simply be a loose wire somwehere between the mains power input and the battery.
As stated: ?green light indicates a full charge. ?On the Apple Battery meter and on one downloaded from the App Store, the current state of charge is given as 6% and never changes from that figure.
