The battery on my MacBook Pro is almost kaput. I have it on low power charging to 80%. How long can I expect it to last and will it eventually stop working if plugged into mains? Sorry a bit of a technophobe 
I have been quoted 750€ for a replacement at an Apple registered repairer, I assume it'd be the same if I returned to Apple direct.
Having read a thread on here where they think the shop put in a dud battery it kind of puts me off.
I love my laptop but am questioning whether it'll be wise to put a new battery in rather than say, putting the 750€ towards a new one. Is 6-7 years a good innings for a battery?
I just use it to browse, watch a bit of Apple TV, emails, photos etc.
Thanks for any advice.
