Can't complain... almost 4 years, 145 cycles (105 on my other battery) and 85% left on both... I don't think I've even done a re-cal on either battery since I first got the computer... Might have to try that this weekend.
Got a tip for us?

That's...a little simplified, and more applicable to NiMH or NiCd after extended storage.
LiIon capacity may increase a _small_ amount over the first few cycles. No gain after that.
My MacBook's battery meter time left thingy jumps around all over the place! From 6 hours to 8 then 2 then 4... Make up your mind!
Yeah, I get about 4 web browsing at low backlight, and 1:30 playing WoW at full (&, natch, with the fan at full blast).

for some reason it says my mbp is 7 weeks old, but it is only 1

Its becuase it was manufactured and shipped and kept in the Apple Store until you baught it
Should I be concerned about this. I have 2 MacBook batteries. I rotate them out every time one is depleted. This one is 24 months old and with 100% charge it only has 81% health. My other one is still at 100% with the same amount of load cycles. Looks like a cell died. Apple won't do anything with this will they?

Impressive.
Yes.
I am doing great! And I know why, I run on power as less as possible, keep the liquids flowing is what the advice is, even when it is Li-Ion
347 cycles, 82% health
That's really nice.
800+ cycles? I'm hoping for that!
Shouldn't Apple cover that?
