[Battery]-About Meaning of Cycle and the Way of Charging

Dear Apple support team/Experienced users,
I have a macbook pro 13" version Middle 2012 a question about the meaning of cycle term of battery in macbook pro.
After reading manual and refer to information on the internet, here is my understanding about cycle term.
* After using all the power of battery, then charging fully, it is a cycle.
* Cycle also means:
     1/ Firstly, battery level is 100%. (On Monday)
     2/ Secondly, use battery to the level 50%. (On Monday)
     3/ Thirdly, recharge macbook pro to the level 100%. (On Monday)
     4/ Do from step 1 to step 3 for the next day. (On Tuesday)
     After receving level 100% on this day(On Tuesday) , we made one cycle.
The more cycle we can do, the worse battery life we can get.
So i have a question related to the way of charging and creating cycle.
Example:
     1/ On Monday, i have battery level at 100% (From the first day of current month)
     2/ Then i use to battery level 50%
     3/ After that i charge the battery to level 98% (not up to 100%)
     4/ Do from step 2 to step 3 until the end of current month.
     5/ On the first day of next month, i use all power of battery. Then i let my macbook pro sleep up to 5 hours.
     After that i do fully charge for macbook pro.
     At this time, i made a cycle for my battery.
Would you please give me your idea about the way of understanding about the cycle i had up to now?
I am looking forward to seeing your replies as soon as possible.
Once again, thanks for your reviewing my question, dear sirs/madams.
Best regards,

Dear sir,
Thanks for your reply.
Your saying make me set my mind at rest on battery issue. But i also wait for the reply from Mr.Csound1 or other people who has the same thought.
Because if his saying is correct, maybe i should not need to care about the way of charging, but keep its level not to reach 0% (maybe 10% for more safely than 1%).
Because at that time, according to his information, i understand that battery chip is counting the percentage of charging, and at the time the total number of charge is come to 100%, it will increase count number by 1 and take care of counting charge level by its self again.
Example:
(First time of charge is 50%(from level 50% to 100%); second time of charge is 30%(from level 50% to 80%); third time of charge is 20%(from level 50% to 70%))
=> Total number reached to 100% and battery chip will increase count number by 1
=> Battery chip will start to check percentage of charging for next time as it made before. (start checking charge number from level 0%)
In case of his saying is not correct (confirmed by other people here), i will keep continue charging battery as written before in my first post (also same as your encouragement).
Once again, thank you for your reply dear Mr.Network 23.

    Keep iPhone on wall charger for ten minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

    Since you don’t allow emails any more – I suspect because of the numerous complaints with your service and the way you treat people that you don’t want documented, I am calling and I want this call recorded for future reference.
    I have been a long time faithful customer of vzw and although the past year I have been late on payments many times and really couldn’t afford your exorbitant prices for services lots of other companies offer sometimes three times cheaper than what you charge, I have hung in there trying my best to meet my obligations.
    This month has been no exception. You don’t know the background; the whole story of people’s lives. I know you could care less because all you care about is the profit-the money that comes in.
    I was told when I agreed to pay my bill on the third per the recorded message that I had 14 days to pay…you cut me off anyway. The phones are not the tissue; your suspending my service means I cannot work. I may lose my job…how do you justify that? In any case? The least you could do would be to keep 4986 on and cut the phones off. But no. You refuse to compromise and meet the basic needs of your customer. What does that say about your company? I tried to call back on three separate occasions to tell you I couldn’t pay because of unexpected expenses but couldn’t get out of the automated system…sadly couldn’t get to a real person which also speaks volumes to me.
    All this tells me this is a company I don’t wish to be affiliated with any more. As soon as I can, I will discontinue service with you…I know you could care less. I will honor the remaining portion of the contract but that’s it. You don’t deserve my business. I am a good, hardworking person who, at the sacrifice of myself and my needs, always pays her bills…albeit late at times. I realize others tell you stories and lies to justify themselves. That’s not me. If you knew what I had been through the last 7 yrs you would marvel that I am  still on my feet…don’t judge too quickly. You could be wrong…and in my eyes you are by doing this to me.
    God will see us through this extremely scary time of that I have no doubt. No thanks to your company and lack of understanding and mercy. I am doing the best I can. Sadly you are not.
    See I have choices. MANY choices of providers for services you offer. I don’t have to be treated like this. I don’t have to succumb to your coldness and callousness. I intend to choose better (and cheaper). If your company doesn’t get the “people factor” back you will be sorry.

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

  • Bought new battery for Mac Book Pro and it won't charge/hold charge...HELP!

    My MBP has been running solely on power adapter for months, I finally bought a replacement battery for my MBP 15" and installed it to charge yesterday. The light on my adapter never turned green. And when I went to unplug it, it immediately powered down, even thought it showed 15% power on the screen. When I press the silver button on the battery all five light up green. What am I doing wrong here?? Also, even if the new battery is in the computer and my power adapter is in the computer still powers down. What next??

    I hope the warranty on your junk battery will be honored. You wouldn't be the first person to be victimized by the sellers of such junk batteries, many of whom have failed to honor their so-called warranties or been completely untraceable when push came to shove.

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store  to have it checked.

    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

  • Battery has done 16 cycles and has 16% health!

    Hi,
    Im pretty certain that my battery is faulty, because ive had it for a year, always had it plugged in nearly all the time, and after 16 cycles the health shows up as 16% in both iStat pro and coconutBattery.
    Will apple replace it for me?
    Thanks
    James

    Only Apple can tell you if they will replace the battery, but good battery health means running down the battery at least once a month to "exercize" it.
    This is a good overview article:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Note the links on the lower left and study the one about calibrating your battery. Proper calibration and exercise may bring that low health reading back up. Worth a try.

  • Can an error in battery cause a slow CPUS and the fan to run non-stop?

    tthe battery need serviced but my computer runs slow and the fan is running non-stop. MacBook Pro 13" purchased around 2011.

    OK, you really need to dump that Windows attitude quickly, because what worked over there is completely useless here.  I never understood the "upgrade didn't work obviously, because this or that happened, so how do I downgrade."  I hang out around here, and I haven't seen many comments about fans running full blast after the updates. I did them, and nothing happened.
    First, you can't downgrade the firmware EFI update.  I think if you tried, it would brick your MBP.
    You could reinstall Lion if you wanted, but that's really a pain, and once again, one of those Windows things that people always do that wastes time.  A security update and Remote Desktop Client (which only runs if you start it up) would not effect your fan speed.
    Apple does have "restore points", but it's a real backup system that requires a backup drive.  It's called Time Machine and it's preinstalled on your Mac, easy to use, and allows you to go as far back in time on your Mac as the size of your backup drive will allow.
    Now, after all that, let's try to figure out what's going on with your fans.  First, did you do the EFI update correctly?  Meaning did you do it when the MBP was actually plugged into the wall?  What are you running?  Games?  Videos?  Something else?
