862.
Just kidding, I made that up. The real answer is 721.
I'm curious if I can get a new MBP if I make it to maybe 2000 or so.
I'm currently on 221 for a mid-2011 MBP.
I've seen a lot of battery cycle threads on MR over the last few days.
I'm currently looking at the information in System Report, but I don't know if my battery is actually healthy or not?
Could anyone provide a quick 101?
So, my MBP is recommended 1000 charge cycles.
Would it just be wise to always use my MBP with the magsafe charger always in?
And never let it drop a single 1%
Wow, so using 33% recharging it to 100%.
Then the next to days doing exactly the same is only 1 charge cycle?
So one charge cycle is 100% over however long? I didn't know that.

I have more than both of those. I'm curious if people are over 1000, 1500 or 2000?
I'm at roughly 900 after taking delivery 19 Feb 2009 (so roughly 0.8 cycles/day for 3 years) of a 13.3" Alu unibody macbook

Health Information:
Cycle Count: 49
Condition: Normal
Mine has 622 cycles but only 83% capacity.
Really? That's not very good if its a recent laptop. But if its an older laptop [the kind where you can easily remove the battery yourself, then I think that's probably normal]. I don't know much about batteries but I remember around 4 or 5 years ago when they redesigned the laptops they gave them a different type of battery that lasts a lot longer.

I think there are different rules for different battery types, so check what yours is and have a look around the apple support site.
So its better to run the battery until 1% than only charge it or plug in the charger when ever you are near the plug point?
