You never had to replace the battery? All batteries lose capacity over time. That's hardly unique. In fact battery replacement is the most common repair.

  Have I had to replace batteries, yes. Have I had to do it at the same frequency no. Not trying to be critical of you, just curious why the batteries get cycled so much. I have used machines heavily over two year periods but perhaps the difference between they were generally plugged in so I was not cycling the battery as quickly.

    Most People use their laptops as laptops. 1000 charge cycles at 1.5 cycles a day is only 2 years.
