Refurbished MacBook Pro Battery Life?

[sonia1234321]

Alright, so today I ordered a shiny refurb MBP 🙂

So, as I am prepping myself for my first mac, I was wondering:

How is the battery life on a refurbished MBP?

Is it any different from a new one? (or is it a new battery?)

Thanks 🙂

Oh, and also:

Would there be any cycles on the battery?

i believe battery is brand new or above 95%.
dont quote me on it though.

While they don't specifically mention batteries, it should be as good as new:

I don't think they're new batteries. Had mine 18 days now and since I hadn't used the battery much at all since I got until yesterday, I didn't even think to check the cycles. It's at 12 cycles and 88% health. Got a little suspicious when it only lasted an hour running Windows under BootCamp. Going to try to calibrate it and see how that goes now.

Mine came at 99% health with 1 cycle and has since moved to 100% with 31 cycles
