Now, GGJstudios, before you post that link to your favourite Apple Notebook Battery FAQ - I have read it.
Now, my question. The battery in my MBP is designed to last up to 1000 full cycles BEFORE it reaches ≤80% capacity. It's highly unlikely I'd get to 1000 charges in my first year of use, so, if I were to buy AppleCare (I don't have it yet) would it cover my battery if it say, got to 800 cycles and began displaying 75% capacity in it's second year of use?
I've read the fineprint and I'm confused as to this passage,

I'm not sure if failing to reach 1000 cycles in a defect in the battery or not.However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect.
