So I downloaded coconutBattery just now to check out how my battery is doing and I noticed that it said my Mac is 124 months old! Anyone know why it says that? I'm just curious...
Oh, you're right!Man, that's old.
There is a newer version of coconutbattery, version 2.6.3.
Click coconutbattery in the menu bar (when it's open) and check for updates.
I got my MBP last week and it also showed 124 months. I went to preferences and put in my Serial number and it changed to 2 months. So does Coconut Battery go by when the machine was made, or how long the computer has been in use? I should be 1 week.
It uses the serial number on your Mac to determine when it was made.
Ah - so that's probably it - my MBA serial number now says "Serial Number: System Serial#" on the System Profiler page after I got it back with the new logic board...
I wonder how long my warranty now goes for...
O damn!
What's up with the health of my battery? :S
It fact, it appears to have been made in the year 29 B.C.
Just had the logic board replaced due to the overheating/freezing issues (faulty core apparently - a common problem??), and my MBA seems to have aged a little.
Oh well, I still love it
You should probably condition your battery. With that number of cycles, the health of such a new battery should be much higher.
I know it's an old topic but my question fits here.
This is the first time i've owned a MBP (previous iMac owner)
I just got my 15" MBP i5 yesterday. In coconut battery it says it's 5 months old. So i'm guessing this is when the MBP was made right?
Also it's a new MBP. So should i be worried that in system profiler under "Power" it says that the condition of my battery is "normal" (as opposed to good)?
Tnx in advance guys
