MacBook battery, 3 years old, 1354 cycles

no kidding. Even Apple Genius was very surprised when he saw this (and back then it only had 950 cycles)

right now it just drained again (was unplugged for the past 3-4 hours). But full capacity is still 86%!



last time I posted this, I think at 1000 cycles or so, some of you had doubts the data is real. 1) it is not faked. 2) this Macbook has a sleep sensor issue, and wife also forgets to plug it in. it usually gets 1-2 cycles per day, so in 3 years, 1354 cycles sounds about right.

Amazing.

Maybe it is BETTER to cycle every day!

if you don't use it, you lose it.

Well, the way manufacturing works is; most units will fail after XXX cycles; a few will fail in fewer than XXX cycles and be covered by warranty; and, fewer still will last many more than XXX cycles, and make their owners delightfully happy. And, oddly proud.

Congrats on being at the happy end of the bell curve, s-t! Electro-Leader!

That's more than one cycle a day...

Serious battery studliness.

I never got through more than 400ish cycles on any of my MBP batteries. I generally drained it down and went back up 3 times a day. That was on the old pre unibody. We will see on this new unibody, but thus far, I have to charge it about half as often as the old one.
