In this video we cover what Apple's MacBook battery cycle count means and why it is important to you.

If you are buying a used Apple MacBook laptop one important item to check is the total battery cycles the laptop has been through. This number will provide you with a good idea on how long the MacBook battery could last. On some MacBooks replacing batteries is a huge deal so knowing this number is key before purchasing a used MacBook.

If you already have a MacBook why should you check the battery cycle count? Let's say you are traveling and your battery goes out. You may be out of luck in replacing it for the remainder of the trip. So check your own MacBook's cycle count to get a good idea on how long you can expect your battery to last.

Finally, in this video we clearly define what a battery cycle is as defined directly from Apple. While you might think you know what it means Apple's definition is slightly different.
