I took my MacBook in to have the battery replaced. I must have grabbed the wrong one because it showed up on the hardware test as having 465 cycles, so it was used up and not bad.

I have four white MacBooks, but I know the battery that came with my most recent refurb did die after only 7 months, so I need to find the one in my house that is actually bad (not used up).

The genius had an iPod loaded with a disk image which he used to boot the MacBook and test the battery.

I would really like to have that utility, it was pretty cool. Anyone know if it is available for download anywhere?
