[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1530912, member: 110816"] The cycling of battery is normal..that' what it does..it charges, and discharges and charges again..:) A potential to reduce the number of cycles is to keep your MBP plugged in all the time as to not drain the battery. However, this introduces a nasty side-effect in batteries that make them lethargic to holding a charge over a long period of time. As time goes on they'll be able to hold a decent charge and you will be forced to keep it plugged in all the time.. You're better off using the system like it was designed to be..charging when needed, using it off the battery when charged.. I imagine the number of cycles your battery will go through will outlive your need/use of the MBP before you decide to upgrade.. [/QUOTE]
