[QUOTE="Clausen77, post: 519387, member: 37260"] ok, so I bought a refurbished macbook pro last week, loving it so far. already came with 3 battery cycles use (istat pro widget says). When I'm using the computer from battery directly the battery charge goes down very fast, starts with something between 4 to 5 hours remaining (when at 100% charge) but then (probably b/c of the use of drive and display?) starts using more power and gets you a use time of 2-2.5 hs in the end. I guess this is normal? The battery health (also from istat widget) gets down with every cycle though? received it at 97% health and after one cycle it got down to 96%... does this mean I can only have 100 cycles with this battery? that sounds not much to me... can someone enlighten me with the normal life length of this battery? Thanks! Claus [/QUOTE]
