Battery Status: Replace Soon

[Irish_Tom]

Lo all,

Just got this message on my MBP 3,1 - iStatPro says the health is 49% and it's had 453 cycles, does seem about right?

It's covered under Applecare so I'm assuming it will be replaced with non questions asked, I just wanted to check that just under 2 years and less than 500 cycles was standard for these batteries.

Cheers,

So you guys are saying that because it's done more than 250 cycles I'm going to have to pay for it?

That's pretty bad, what have you been doing with it?

Mine is 98% health, 477 cycles and just over 3 years old.

No idea if I've been mistreating it or not, I don't think so.

It is my main (only) computer though so it does get a heck of a lot of use...
