Battery cycle count=1

[andrewp]

I just got my battery replaced and after a full charge both istat and mac osx shows that there is only one cycle available. I remember that my previous battery used to have at least 60 cycles...

Is 1 cycle normal for new batteries or?

Are you just kidding.
Battery cycles on new batteries should be less than 5 ... hell less than 2.

The cycle count will depend on the battery's age and usage. A new one is going to have about at least 1.

aha I always heard people talking about how many cycles they got, and I thought the more, the better...Hell, now i know
