Your Battery Life at 400 Cycles?

Thanks that is very helpful. the "change remaining" did change even it says fully charged.

The charge remaining will fluctuate continuously, based on the minute-to-minute workload and power demands of your computer. It is not accurate.

my battery count is less than 500, and the health is below 50%, can I bring the laptop into the store and ask for a replacement ? Will they charge me or will it be free? my laptop is Mid-oct 13" macbook Pro, bought back in 2010.

thanks

Wouldn't think so, batteries decline with age too and a 5yr-old battery is well into its normal lifespan. You can ask but I'd expect a decline.

thanks... then a 99 bucks new battery should be enough

Apple only guarantees the battery to 1000 cycles within the 3 year warranty window. There is a good reason for this and that is that age is a far more potent destroyer of batteries than using them.

They are a consumable item and only last on average 4-5 years no matter how you use them. You will have to pay for a replacement. See below for all you battery questions...
