I just bought a 2nd hand MBP (9 months old).

Using Coconut Battery, it says battery loadcycles = 42, maximum battery charge 4911mAh, maximum battery capacity 5500mAh. That's around 89% in terms of battery health. Is this normal?

If not, can I make a claim (replacement battery) from Apple Malaysia?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. I found out this forum and says that my battery cycle count is 181 and condition : check battery i am using macbook pro and it's charging while i'm viewing this. any advice?

UPDATE : I used CoconutBattery and this is what I got. Anyway I can undo this. Can the tech guys at Apple help me or simply I just need to buy a new battery? Sigh.

I am currently charging it. This is my battery.

Basically, it depends on your usage as well. 4 hours of listening to music is pretty good I must say.
Mine with brightness half, no music on, wireless on and bt off roughly get 3.5hrs

Yeah, just called Apple and they say that all parts of the Macbook Pro are protected under the ACPP except the battery as it is considered as consumables. I guess that's fair.

Just curious. I forgot to ask the tech support guy. When the battery is fully charged at 100%, and we still plug it in, will it affect the battery life?
Someone suggested me to remove the battery first before letting it run on power as it will affect the battery life. Any idea?

Thanks.

some of the guys here gotten their battery replace, but im not sure under wat circumstances

it won effect the battery life, my past eperience of notebook is to unplug once its full to let the battery tahan, but for apple lain
the best is keep it one power cord whenver possible, hence the lesser battery cycle consume
