I've never full drained the battery below "50%" 61 times so I don't know why it says I've had 61 cycles. I always leave my laptop attached to the AC adapter. Is 61 Cycles with 99% battery life good for a 5 month old laptop?
Got a tip for us?

One cycle is not 100% battery drain at one time, more like 25% drain, charging, 35%, charging, 15% drain, charging, 25% drain, charging.
25% + 35& + 15% + 25% are 100% --> one cycle.

99% battery health after 61 cycles is quite good.

thats really good. Mine is 16 cycles and 92%. I am just biding my time until I have to take it into Apple. Anyone care to state what the warranty is on the batteries.

However I do remember when first getting this battery the mah was 54xx, now it's 4895mah. Make of that what you will.
