Re-calibrate it. Also, that's a charge about once a day. Nothing abnormal about that.
Hi, sorry how do I re-calibrate it? Do you think that seems like way to many cycles?

I've had mine since April 21st. I have 35 cycles on it. Coconut Battery says it's 8 weeks old.
7 x 8 = 56 days. 35 cycles is less than one a day. I'm not worried.
How long do Apple batteries really last.
Here is a capture from my coconut. The battery has not reached 1000 cycles and it is at less than half the capacity. However, the age (about 6 years) is accurate. Guess its time to get a new battery. Note that the original max capacity is little over half that of the current notebooks. At about 2000 mAh this thing lasts about 1.5 hours with wireless internet use and max brightness. System is a 12" 1Ghz iBook G4.

Dude same question as me
I have like 6816mhz and 98% battery life on mine and i almost always leave it plugged into the power adapter. Is that bad to do? I calibrated it a few times so far but only have 8 charge cycles. How is everyone getting their charge cycles so high?

Matt how did you get yours so high? Mine has 8 charge cycles and is only 6815! 98% battery health. How do i get it back up?
Oddly, I usually run my battery down to about 60% (sometimes 50% or even 40%) and then plug it back in...I had read that to be charged "one full cycle" the recharges must add up to 100% (ie: a partial charge from 60% to 100% and another partial charge from 40% to 100% should add up to "one full charge")...
However, my i5 15" is registering a full charge on Coconut with even partial charges...

Viewing sites with flash is a drain on system resources and battery life, regardless of the model. Simply having flash installed, however, does not put demands on the system.
