QUOTE(Creamy Crimson @ Jun 3 2011, 11:44 AM) Ok lets just say the cut off period for the battery to count as 1 cycle is about 70% a source would be appreciatedIf u use untill lets day 90-80% u can recharge it up and avoid losing a cycle. It doesnt count. If ur battery life goes below 70%, eg.65% might as well use it untill finish thn recharge. Or u will lose 65% of battery. Battery life could last an average of 500-800 cycles before shortage occurs. Btw its a good thing to download iStat Pro widget on ur dashboard to monitor on the cycle  |

QUOTE(yeefang90 @ Jun 3 2011, 07:06 PM) that's mean if 80% and above i can charge my battery and will not lost a cycle? thank for the information 80% is referring to the battery health, not the charge. if ur battery health is under 80%, but ur cycle count is still under 1000, and u are still under warranty, u can get a replacement battery from appleCuz i really dun really understand what apple say basically just charge it whenever u need it. no need to wait until 70% la what la. just remember to do calibration at least once a month. i dont know what Creamy Crimson said is true abt cycle counts, but what matters is the cycle count shown in System Profiler. i dont see why we need to know how to count the cycle if we can already know the number |
