Hi guys,
I own a MacBook Pro retina 2,8 years old and 570 cycles - battery is 5988 mah and 71%.

I tried to drain the battery fully then recharge it without it being used - trying to reset NVRAM and SMC didn't really do anything.. I also got the service battery icon going.. :)

I read a couple of threads but maybe I missed something that I could try?

Short of turning back time, you're not going to revive that battery. Like me, it will never be young again.
