Service Battery Macbook Pro - Early 2015 Model

Aha, "Dunning-Kruger" effect showing up on you. It looks like that you seem to project like a "Self - proclaimed expert" who just thinks that everyone else has to accept what you say and that everyone working elsewhere, be it even Apple specialists just do nothing.

I am not sure what your experience has been while dealing with them, but I can tell you it was fantastic experience for me. The specialist wasn't naive and you don't need an Architect sitting next to you from Apple to understand/diagnose problem which is quite common.

Not an insult mate - not at all.

All your posts have only one key message coming out that the "battery has failed and it needs replacement... this can happen.. etc. etc.". Where did the battery fail and when did I mention that? My post was related to "Service battery" message and with that being already investigated and confirmed by Apple, I think there's no more room for a discussion. They have more expertise than you and me. It's their product, not yours or mine.

When they confirm that the battery looks OK, I take that as a confirmation because the confirmation is from the Company whose product I am using.

At the end when root cause is something else and not even the battery according to Apple, there's no point of debating battery as a reason for failure.

Thanks, will check tomorrow with help of my colleague.

Thanks, I woulnd't use it though.

I had checked that earlier. It's only for 15" models which were sold between Sept'15 and Feb'17. It's not applicable in my case.

That's correct. Apple doesn't have any info on calibration on their site. The calibration procedure was mentioned by people on other websites.

Absolutely right. That indeed makes sense.

Sure mate, will do. I am curious to see how this unfolds now in days to come.

I am afraid your posts do not point to a solution/recommendation that I had asked for but to theoritical concepts and to a proposition to accept that there are instances of failures and instances of successes. Knowing that this is part and parcel of every product launched by a Company, but then, it is also imperative to understand/realize/accept the fact whether the product's specifications meet as much as possible for a customer / do not meet for a customer/ only partially meet for a customer and then what are the proportions in total sample. You and me do not have insights into that statistical data, so there's absolutely no point in discussing that.

In my case, specially for the battery, it looks like I have a failure inspite of the fact I followed guidelines of Apple, did everything that they recommended !

Compare 1000 cycles as per Apple's commitment and the fact that I have 260 cycles as of today, and the battery already shows signs of possibly giving up. I didn't ask Apple to mention 1000 cycles as per the product specifications. I also followed their recommendation of how battery is to be used. If someone else has 1500 cycles and battery is still working fine, good luck to him/her, but that still doesn't solve the problem at hand ! Personally, I haven't seen such great posts which substantiate this fact that other users have such great performance from batteries.

Keep in mind that no customer would accept if the product doesn't hold true to it's Company's specifications, specially if you follow the guidelines suggested by the Company and pay a heavy premium for purchase. It costs money, and unfortunately money doesn't come for "free".
