Normal?

It may be more normal than you think - 22 months and only 7 cycles = plugged in all time = battery killer.
Thanks for your reply.
Can I ask in what way isn't it normal? The load-cycle/health % ratio? My mac is 22mths old
Cheers

Load cycles are when the battery has gone from a full charge to flat. If it's 22 months old 59% isn't to bad. When was the last time you calibrated your battery? Ie fully charge let run flat then charge over night powered off??
Oh ok, so it's normal? Yea I keep the power plugged in all the time. My MacBook Pro is my desktop replacement.
Cheers
I actually have never calibrated my battery... Do I have to do that? What's the reason behind it? Can't find it on Apple website.

Here you go: Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance
More info about the battery system itself: Apple - Batteries
Oh! Thanks for the link.
No wonder my % battery indicator not accurate! Now I know the reason. Will do a calibration tonight. Thanks for the tip.
And do you guys know if the 8600GT MBP still have the issue with the graphics chipset? My GPU failed last week finally and got a free replacement from Apple(out of warranty), because they know it's defective. Does the new 8600GT from Apple still have the issue? As far as I know it seems the whole entire 8600GT line are defective? If not, I'll get a second battery. If the problem still exists, I'll get a new MacBook.
Cheers
Oh no please... This is the worst thing ever... That means my MacBook Pro is going to die on me sometime soon... This is my first Mac... God... I hate the new MacBook Design
As long as it is in a 3 year window, they'll replace your GPU
apple: extended the warranty on all MBPs with the 8600 .) What ticks you off about the new MBP design? I think the matte ones resemble your model. Also, the computers in general are better (better battery, screen trackpad, etc.).
