You're right, it's not a good sign. I rarely use my mac without the adapter, so as long as it works with that, I'm good. When that stops, time for a new Mac. It's way too inconvenient for me to go to an Apple store from where I live. And I don't want to bother to have to send it in.
Quite true. And the discharges can be over a period of days or weeks, so that the duration of a life cycle can be even harder to determine. That's why I think the maximum battery charge, rather than cycles, is a better indicator of battery life and power. And in the case of this thread, to me, 23% (or now 24%) is not a good sign.
