Interesting.

To determine what max cycle count is on Mac portables, and cycles used, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1519

For 16 month old 17" MB Pro, max cycle count is 1000, mine is at 2.
For 05 year old 13" MB, max cycle count is 300, mine is at 3.

Edit:
Quote:
Use of your Apple portable computer battery accrues in the form of "charge cycles." You may use your battery after it reaches its maximum cycle count, but you may notice a reduction in your battery life. Knowing how many charge cycles are on your battery and how many are left can help you determine when a battery replacement is required. For optimal performance, replace your battery when the maximum cycle count is reached.
I guess using them while plugged in to power a lot really does help significantly.
