I know that the new 17 MBP can go through 1000 cycles or so of battery use. But what can the 13" MBA go through?

Battery Lifespan

For Apple notebooks with removable batteries — such as the MacBook, MacBook Air, and 15-inch MacBook Pro — a properly maintained battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
