[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1427451, member: 24098"] Also note that battery charge levels and health are not an exact science. The cycle count is based on "educated guesses" made by your computer's Systems Management Controller (or SMC, for short). It is helpful to periodically "calibrate" your battery by using the machine until it goes to sleep on its own (i.e. completely out of battery power) and doing a full recharge before you use the machine again.
