That is rather optimistic. lithium ion battery chemistry degrades over time. Apple still has to live within the rules of physics and chemistry. My MacBookPro had severely degraded after 4 years. Not even close to having kept 80% over 5 years. > plus, it's not just apple with internal batteries either. > it's a complete non-issue. Which is why there is no point in making unreal claims about Apple's batteries lasting longer than lithium ion batteries. Everyone on same footing here.

First, different and older battery. I doubt it was rated for 5 years. Probably 3. > Which is why there is no point in making unreal claims about Apple's > batteries lasting longer than lithium ion batteries. Everyone on same > footing here. There was no such claim, you liar. The battery is rated for 5 years. Fact. -- http://2blog.kreme.com The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

So depending on the user that could be less than 3 years (balls-to-the-wall road warrior) or much many more. For many (probably most) users 5 years is a pretty good bet.

True, though I think it is 1000 charges OR 5 years. That is, even with a low charge cycle count, the battery will lose as much as 20% efficacy after 5 years. 1000 cycles will take long on the MacBook than on the other machines because each cycle is much longer (twice as long as on a 4 year old MacBook Pro, for example). I replaced my battery on this 2009 MacBook because it was barely lasting 2 hours (sadly, out of warranty) 2 years ago. The new battery has 411 cycles and a capacity of 5100mAh. I use the laptop every day for at least an horu or two, and sometimes for 5 or 6. It goes about 4:30 from full charge unless I play video in which case the power goes to hell. > For many (probably most) users 5 years is a pretty good bet. Yep, I bet most MacBook buyers will be well under 1000 cycles at 5 years. Based on my current usage, I'd be close to 500. -- http://2blog.kreme.com Reality is a curve. That's not the problem. The problem is that there isn't as much as there should be. According to some of the more mystical texts in the stacks of the library of Unseen University - (...) - at least nine-tenths of all the original reality ever created lies outside the multiverse, and since the multiverse by definition includes absolutely everything that is anything, this puts a bit of a strain on things. --Moving Pictures

If you let your battery run down to half charged, then plug it into the wall to recharge it, you can do that twice before it counts as "1 charge cycle". If you let your battery run down by 10% and then recharge it, then you can do that 10 times to count as "1 charge cycle". BUT leaving your portable device plugged into the wall constantly is not a good idea either (even ignoring the fact that it was pointless buying a portable device in the first place). > and why would aapple ever replace a battery free of charge (pun) > are some defective and overly free of charge to a fault > are aapple so kind/generous that they just feel need to give back > does the batt supplier suck up the loss > > it's all rather odd > i smell a cover up > > perhaps the charge/discharge technology in the laptops was defective > but since it was firmware/software fixable they said "well we'll replace > some of them if it's normal wear/tear" (whatever that means) > > deflect blame > move along Batteries are an old and crap technology - they were hopeless long before laptops were created and still are (one reason why electric cars simply are not a solution to anything). The fact that all batteries do become useless is used by people jumping onto the portable device fad ... it gives them a "good" excuse for throwing away otherwise perfectly good equipment and buying a new one.

I beg to differ. My MBP is almost constantly plugged in and hooked up to a Monitor. About once or twice a month I take it with me. Worked fine for several years and still held enough charge to last a working day when I got a new one last year. I´m pretty confident this will last about 5 years before I buy the next one. (And if not I´ll simply have the battery replaced by Apple.) I just don´t have the time to pamper my battery and try to "optimize" it by letting it run empty every other day or by any other means that supposedly prolong it´s lifetime.

That sort of usage pattern is fine. Problems can start to occur if the battery is not exercised for several months to years. I've seen a few cases where someone had a MacBook that almost never got unplugged from power, and they were surprised to find that the battery didn't hold much charge when they came to try using it after a year or two. Using the computer on battery once or twice a month should be enough to keep it healthy (running to empty would probably be better, but even some battery usage is better than none). > Worked fine for several years and still held enough charge to last a > working day when I got a new one last year. > I´m pretty confident this will last about 5 years before I buy the next > one. (And if not I´ll simply have the battery replaced by Apple.) > > I just don´t have the time to pamper my battery and try to "optimize" it > by letting it run empty every other day or by any other means that > supposedly prolong it´s lifetime. Running empty every other day would be excessive. Apple recommends letting it run empty every month, and that's mostly to calibrate the battery level measurement. I don't bother, nor do I know anyone who does. My typical usage pattern is to have the computer plugged in on weekdays while at work, and if I use it at home or elsewhere in the evening or weekend, it is mostly running from battery, except where I have used it enough to need to plug it in, or if I'm doing something more intensive that justifies working at a desk or table. I had each of my previous two MacBook Pros for three to four years and they still had several hours of operating time on the original battery when I sold them (both to people I know, so I've had occasional updates about their current state). The older one had a removable battery, rated for 80% of its original capacity after 300 charge cycles. It was up to 450 charge cycles when it was approaching three years old, and I didn't notice much drop in battery operating time. The new owner never replaced the battery and it was still good enough to be useful after seven years. Unfortunately the computer suffered an accident about then so the experiment can't continue. The newer one had an integrated battery, rated for 80% of its original capacity after 1000 charge cycles. I didn't note where it was when I sold it, but a sample at about the two year mark shows I was using about 150 charge cycles per annum, so it was probably around 600 when I sold it after almost four years. The new owner now has it plugged in all of the time, which is probably not good for it. I seem to be using the battery a little less on my current MacBook Pro: about 110 charge cycles per annum so far. The battery operating time is longer on this model, so it may be that I'm using it on battery about the same amount but that isn't discharging the battery as far as with my previous one. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

It does not go to full discharge but it is not constantly charging either. AFAIK if the battery is at 100% charging stops until the charge drops to 98% and then it will be charged again. Someone please correct me if I got this wrong.
