[QUOTE="narayani, post: 624281, member: 52020"] [b]Found it already[/b] Meantime i found where the lifecycles are mentioned. 319, too bad... So let me get this straight: a lifecycle is added each time the battery has to load again from almost empty to 100%?? Must be correct as I'm in the habit to unplug electricity and to work on the battery each time it has fully loaded itself. So I was saving electricity but maybe shortening the life of my battery?? Now since a few days it does not load up to he 100 % anymore, it stops loading at 98%. And I did find coconutbattery, it says my battery capacity is now 77%. My macbook is 21 months old. Well, I'm learning something. Anyone a lot of experience with keeping the life of your battery longer!! Is there still anything I can do at this point?? As far as I know calibrating only works when you can let the battery go almost to empty.. Meantime, I guess I'll work with the electricity plugged in a bit more from now on.. Oh well, better late than never.. Cheers and have a good day.. [/QUOTE]
