From memory, my MBP is at around 180 cycles since new in November 2009.
Surprised that it's not higher, but it does spend most of its time at home. Battery still performing as new.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but at what percentage health should the battery be replaced? If the battery drops to a certain amount within the warranty period would a new battery be covered?
Read the BATTERY LIFESPAN section of the following link for your answer.
This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
3 months
120 cycles
96% health
Some of these numbers seem extremely low. Like 6 months and 40 cycles. how often do you all use your laptop? Granted I obviously use mine very often.

My old MBP was at ~525 after 2 years. But that was really only 1 year because Apple replaced the battery a year into ownership.
Apple replaced that MBP, so my new one is at 6 cycles/5 days of ownership.
