Post your battery cycle

Nearly at 1000 cycles, battery health is apparently 97 :smiley:

My Late 2013 rMBP 15"

My Wifes MBA and my rMBP look like this. I’m surprised at the cycle number as they have always been primary machines.

Hi the big 1000 today!

Noticed this today. The battery has been draining quite quickly, to the point where I make sure I carry a charger with me at all times “just in case”. I know it’s still got some life in it, but it’s probably time to get the battery replaced.

Anyone know the rough price to get it done via Apple or an authorised outlet? Mid-2013 MBA.

I think that the Air is not as expensive, because unlike the stupidity of the Retina Pro, it isn’t glued to the top case. Not sure of the price though.

You’ll get the warning once your health drops below 80 percent iirc. Probably nothing wrong with the battery, just holding less than it used to.

It’s $189 for the MBA. Spoke to Apple chat support and they gave the price.

Yeah as I thought, the MacBook Air battery can be replaced without replacing the whole top case.

It was at 501 yesterday when I dropped it off at the Apple Store. I was getting service battery, they’ve agreed to replace it for free. Also replaced my THIRD snapped MagSafe brick. AppleCare has definitely paid for itself.

Here you go: just picked up from the Apple Store, replaced for free on AppleCare.

First cycle!

My battery has gone well out of the range where apple would replace it for free, but since my battery life hovers from 93-96 kinda negates the need anyway.

Another 100 down :smiley:

This battery is a soldier!

iPhone 5S
1509 days old
497 cycles
76% of design capacity at full charge.

It still gets me through a “normal” day, though if for instance I go to Melbourne for the day, using maps a bit, looking stuff up in Safari whilst walking round, snapping pics… it wont make it home.

My MacBook battery - still going strong.

Mine is doing OK too, with its new(ish) battery

I guess mine is going OK for its age…

That battery is doing very well! I guess it’s very low on cycles, but very good for the age.
