10.4: View battery cycle count in System Profiler
This is all well and good. I noticed, however, that mine lists a piece of information that I would like to change: First Low Level Warning is NO. This explains in part why the OS reports my capacity off and never warns me when it gets low (just suddenly shuts off at 84% life remaining).

I think that means that the low level warning has not been issued yet in this power cycle, so you would have to have just a couple of minutes left on your battery to see something different.
First Low Level Warning = "NO"
I noticed this as well. The feature that sets off the low level alarm seems to have been broken around 10.3.8 if I recall correctly. I was hoping that it would be fixed in Tiger, but not so far.

As usual, what might be broken or not broken in such hardware related software functionality depends on which hardware you have: with my TiBook 1 Ghz (cycle count 141), I still get the low battery warning, even under 10.3.9.

Ditto. I get no battery low-level warning at all anymore (I used to), just a sudden sleep cycle (or Shutdown, in some cases).

That's odd. My battery also shows 208 cycles. What are the chances of that happening. Does anybody else show 208?

I had the same problem with a Titanium Powerbook. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the battery. My Aluminum Power Book has the same setting as yours set to no and I still get the warning. If your machine is less than a year old you can probably get a new battery free of charge. Even with AppleCare they don't like to replace batteries after a year, it seems. In fact my battery has been losing capacity and they don't want to replace it. Your problem is probably with the chip on the battery not communicating properly to the Power Manager and that should get a replacement. Good Luck ;-) |
