Too many 24's.

Happy Canada Day.

You don't look a day over 144.

And the Loonie is 25 years young as well. I actually remember $1 bills.

What is yours at now? Mine is 1513. It is a 13 in MP from Dec 2006.

Is anyone's higher?

I ran across this forum because I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and get a new battery even though I'm not having problems yet because I"m about to move abroad for a year. In Thailand I've read it might cost me $200, but I could find one online here probably for around $50. Should I assume it won't make it another year?

I'm at 928 Cycles. Bought this Feb 2011. 0 Cycles on the first day.

Apple recommend not to always run on the mains power as this is not good for the battery. It is recommended that you use your notebook on battery power, and once it gets down to the 30-40% mark, charge it back up again. This keeps the juices inside the battery constantly flowing and will make your battery last much longer.
Every now and then, say once a month for example, discharge the laptop until it goes to sleep then charge back up to recalibrate it.

Thank you for the marvellous advice on this matter. Kudos

I thought acidfast7 rose from the dead when I saw this thread in the CD forum.

Good times.

I'm at 1481 on my white early 2008 macbook. The funny thing is that battery health is still 87%, and it in fact lasts a couple of hours, but when I plug it in to charge there's a 30+ minute delay before it begins to charge. Anyone else had this experience? Not sure if I should be buying a new battery given this.

I'd like to hang in another 32 cycles to beat Bastiak

I think I might win this game, found this thread while I was looking for other people who have a cycle count as high as mine, I'm almost at 2000 cycles:

No problems with it so far, but it doesn't last very long without the charger.

I read somewhere that you can get a new MacBook Pro if you make it to around 2000 cycles. You're almost there!

No way! Hah thanks, that would be epic!

89% health after 390 cycles on my 2010 17", and I thought that was a lot.

For some reason I feel bad if I let my laptop discharge, like I'm hurting it's feelings or something...
