![]() 6 years is a long time for a liion battery though. Many years too late to start that business though. One common technique is to not charge them all the way up or all the way down as the high and low ends are where the most wear happens. Every time the battery is cycled its capacity reduces slightly. Liion batteries start dying from their first use. The Mid 2014 versions utilized preproduction versions of batteries though in the MacBook. It was originally intended for the preproduction versions of the MacBook Pro Core i5 2.6 13, Core i7 2.3 15 (DG), and the Core i7 2.0 15 (IG). Ifixit is very good at what they do and you should have no problem if you follow their instructions. Apple has already explained the estimated battery life of its models in the fine print. ![]() Of course there are outliers and many outside factors on when batteries die but basically replace your battery soon. Is the iFixit kit recommended for this repair?Įvery battery is different but from what I can find most batteries start holding little to no charge around the 1600 cycles mark if some posts I found are believable. How many cycles do the batteries typically start dying at in these devices? Additionally, I'm planning on using the iFixit replacement kit to do the repair, does anybody have experience with it? I know the batteries are only guaranteed for 1000, but I'm wondering if anybody knows around what cyclage they start actually dying at. It has the "Service Recommended" tag, and 1445 charge cycles under its belt. I'd prefer not to spend the money on a new laptop at this point, and seeing as it is not my primary computer for intensive tasks ie video editing I'm ok with the performance. As you probably guessed by the title, I own a mid-2014 13" rMBP.
