Hi all,

As the tittle says... looking for a reputable place in the UK that sells a 13' MBA battery.

I have a mid 2012 and all of a sudden I notice it says 'service battery' even though the performance is about right for it's life.. I'm on 700+ recycles.

Does the service battery warning mean something is untoward with the battery or is it just misleading me with this info?

Thanks in advance - Claytop

The message normally comes when the capacity drops below 75% of the original one. It does not necessary mean that the battery has any other issues beyond the lower capacity (which would not be unusual at 700 cycles)
