[QUOTE=Quoth;4281148]Never heard of a charge cycle counter for anything. Laptops do give current max capacity vs original capacity as well as current charge level.
It's not very useful to know cycles because total cycles depends on age, temperature and manufacturing tolerance/purities. Time and elevated temperature on their own wear out the cell.
I don't really care that much about cycle count; it's just a rough measure, for want of anything better.
Just trying to get an idea of whether I want to bother with replacing the battery (and ruining the waterproofing) or not.
