As of yesterday I'm at at 97% on 71 cycles. That's not too shabby, huh?
(Of course, this is after having 3 bad batteries...)
im worried after reading this thread. 95% after 4 cycles - is this normal?
or could it be anything to do with the fact that m macbook has been sitting idle for 2 months inbetween buying and first using it?
If you are going to store your MacBook Pro for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C) and discharge the battery to 50 percent. When storing your computer for longer than five months, discharge the battery to approximately 50 percent and then remove it from the MacBook Pro. To maintain the capacity of the battery, recharge the battery to 50 percent every six months or so.
i dont know it it's that important (the battery life )
because you can always buy a new battery
Mine is down to 96% after 5 cycles. All I can say is, what the Hell? I will take it to the Apple store when I get back to school as I do have Apple Care. See what they will do about it if I bitch and moan a little.

Pfft, I'm at 94% after 24 cycles! Beat that!
Nice thing is though, every time the health drops below 85% or so, I just take it into the Apple store and they give me a brand new one. I just tell them that I need it to last through a 3 hour lecture, and it's no good to me if it doesn't.
Hooray for Applecare!
mine is at 106% after 31 cycles.
The battery appears to stop charging between 93 percent and 99 percent ... This is normal ...
Hold on a sec, Josheua is talking about battery HEALTH (i.e. capacity) not current battery charge which are two totally different things.
Yea, you're right... I guess I just wanted to point that out for anyone reading the thread and confusing with the menu bar charge percentage! I probably just added more confusion!
Woah, exactly how many times have you had your battery swapped for a new one? At least you're guaranteed at least 85% health for the rest of your AppleCare life ... !
Nice one mate![]()

So if after 59 cycles my battery like is 87%, should I think about seeing if it is one of those batteries that needs replacement? (My MBP is about 7 mo. old)
I dont know how, but my Original battery capacity is 5500mAh; and my current is 6547 mAh unplugged from my adapter at 89% charge remaining
When full charged it reads over 6800mAh! :]
guess i have a super sweet battery since my battery somehow has +1300mAh!
Im new to macs, but if someone would like to see my coconut GUI as proof just tell me how to take a screen shot and i will!
