[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1861266, member: 190607"] If Coconut Battery is reporting that you have 80% or less of design capacity left, your laptop's battery is toast. But you probably already know that, because you are almost assuredly seeing only a fraction of the run-time you saw when your laptop was new. Things like "cycle count" are irrelevant, because that can be influenced by all sorts of things, such has how you've used your laptop and how often and how deeply it was charged. What's important is how much of a charge your battery can now hold. In addition to Apple, if you live in the U.S. you can also get a genuine Apple battery installed by Best Buy.
