Apple A1185 Battery Usage:

All batteries age and deteriorate with or without usage. You can slow this process down by following these tips but inevitably, a battery will one day deteriorate to the point where it becomes useless.

Knowing the difference between normal deterioration and defectiveness is important in determining whether you need to call / visit Apple Support or just buy a new battery and move on.


Apple’s  A1185 Battery Definition of Normal:

Apple’s standard for battery deterioration is that the battery should hold at least 80% of it’s maximum charge capacity after 300 cycles. Under normal circumstances, this means roughly 2 years. Granted, everyone has a different definition of normal usage but Apple usually won’t deal with a battery if it’s been through over 300 cycles or three years or age.

Read your Battery Statistics:

Finding out your cycle count and whether the laptop battery is within normal usage patterns or defective is part of the battery’s statistics. To read them, follow these steps:

- Click on the Apple at the top-left of your screen.
- Choose “About this Mac”.
- In the window that pops up, choose “More Info…”.
- The System Profiler will open up.
- In the left hand column, choose “Power”.
- The “Battery Information” will be displayed.

The important information to write down is:

- Cycle Count.
- Full Charge Capacity.
- Battery Condition.

Take my Apple A1185 for example:
Voltage: 10.8V
Capacity: 55Wh

Type: Li-ion
Color: White
Status: Brand new and Genuine
UL certificated cells inside!


My Personal Experience:

I began to notice the A1185 battery life in my MacBook Pro was absolutely horrendous a few weeks ago, so I bought another original new one from www.udtek.com
