I have to ask, why is this 'bad'?
>>> and the battery is OK, but his eyes pop open when he sees 992 cycles and 96% health
no, quite the opposite, the battery is VERY good (or WAS very good, I don't know how long it will last though). But the reason the b attery has so many cycles already in 2 years is that the MacBook will not go to sleep, and if left OPEN on the table, it will drain the battery. It sleeps fine if I close the lid.
Did you do the "Battery Conditioning" tips of running it down to shut down and then fully recharging? Or did she just use it "however" all the time?
Whatever you did--worked, and we want to know the secret-Please
I did the cycle many time, but not on purpose. Like I said, if the MacBook does not sleep, she leave it open and then 4-5 hours later the battery is fully drained. Then I sometimes plug it in and go to bed and in the morning the battery is fully charged. I think this happened hundreds of times already.
search the forum, I posted pictures about this several times before.
