[QUOTE="tamaras82, post: 1359942, member: 234875"] Thank you Pendlewitch for your quick response. My macbook is quite old but as I understand it wasn't very used before I bought it in 2009 (bought it used), which is why the cycle count is so low. I was merely looking for any input of why my System Profile says the battery's health is "good" with only a cycle count of 226, and it shows 100% full, when actually it has barely any charge... I guess there is no good explanation other than it is wrong! :S I am buying a new battery, I looked directly at Apple store, in ebay, and amazon, and I am not convinced with any as there is so many mixed and bad reviews in all of those, so I'm going to buy this one which I read is recommended by several good members from this forum: [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP13MBB56RS/]NewerTech BAP13MBB56RS NuPower 60.5 Watt-Hour... in stock at OWC[/url] When I receive it I will be careful to follow the instructions to try to make it last as much as possible. Thanks so much Mate! [/QUOTE]
