as it says in the title, 900 cycles on the almost 11 year old battery, and it's still going strong!

I'm more impressed that the computer itself is still chugging along, let alone the battery!

the gpu is dead and i had to do some soldering on the motherboard to fix it, and the display has a line through it, but other than that it's fine.I'm more impressed that the computer itself is still chugging along, let alone the battery!

How long of a charge are you getting out of that battery? I have the same year Mbp and I replaced the battery last year and only get 2 hours off a charge. Its my back up laptop that still works great. It's just not very long of a charge on a fairly new battery. I can't remember how long it lasts when the laptop was new.

depends on what i'm doing. if i'm writing documents or just light web browsing it's 3 hours, if i'm slamming it with a heavier workload it's around an hour... but keep in mind this has a dead gpu so ti's only running on it's integrated graphics, that helps significantlyHow long of a charge are you getting out of that battery?

firelighter487 is our GOD!!
Isn’t that a very low number of cycles??
Be a 5 day week x 52 weeksx 11 odd years… should be over 2800??
Or is there a diff process when running it on a charger on older ones

oh my, thats an 11 years old laptop device and it is still usable?
That's really awesome.
My 2011 based model MBP 13 inch only lasted me 8 years.
Had aftermarket ram upgraded to 8GB, replaced with aftermarket 256gb SSD and 1 battery swap under Applecare in the 3rd year.
