*Battery:- when we test the battery it comes up with status 'normal', cycles 402 of an expected 1000 cycles lifespan. However once the part is stripped then sat on stock shelves, the battery can lose its charge, when you first power it on, it may say status 'normal', or it may say status 'service recommended'. This is NOT the same message as status 'replace soon'. All this means is that the battery needs a charge, when Apple batteries charge they have a built-in regeneration process. The message 'service recommended', is to notify the owner the battery needs a good charge, so the cells can do the regeneration process. Once this has ran the status will return to 'normal'. This can take a few days, we have sold complete MacBook computer systems that have sat in stock for a few months and have taken around two weeks to fully regenerate the battery cells and to return to status 'normal'. Apple batteries end to last longer the more you use them, the more often they are charged the more often they are utilised, the longer cycles the battery will last. Have seen batteries at 1600 cycles. a battery will usually do around 100 cycles a year on average. Please do not ask to return a Palmrest, Battery, or MacBook because the status of the battery is showing 'service recommended'. As long as the battery is holding a good charge and is working as expected, eventually the status will return to its previous state. This is a 'please charge' message, rather than the 'replace soon' message which does mean to replace your battery. Software that checks battery health will also not give correct readings until the battery regeneration process is complete.*
