I can attest to that: my Macbook white bought on October 2009 (that's 46 months folks) which I used every single day to this very day has 261 load cycles and 91

  That's pretty good going I would have thought? As well as charging cycles, I assume time is a factor. My Macbook Pro (bought July 2009) had reached 65% capacity by the time I replaced it, after something like 45 months and ~250 cycles. By then the computer had been begging me to replace it for about six months. I actually thought this perfectly reasonable, with nearly 4 years being a fair lifespan for a battery, no matter how few cycles it might have been through. While it was obviously knackered, it still held enough charge to be perfectly useful, if not amazing - but perhaps I should have held it to a higher standard? (Hopefully it's just this year's unusually hot UK summer but after a mere ten cycles its replacement is down to 93% already. So maybe there's just something up with the electricity supply to my flat.)

  my blackbook (late 2007, Santa Rosa, core 2 duo 2.2GHz) still has the original battery and it still holds a decent charge (3+ hours.) My Walstreet 2's battery still holds a charge lasting circa 2+ hours. I religiously avoid running plugged in and always try to charge then run down. Seems to have worked for me.

  My 2010 MacBook Pro is on its third battery, and even this one has had 97 loadcycles in six months, 90% capacity left...
