Battery Cycle

My macbook air (purchased new last summer) has a "service battery" warning but only has a cycle count of 226. Thought it was 1000? My computer has shut off with no warning twice in the last week although the battery was still at greater than 50%. Anyone have an recommendations on what's wrong or what to do?

About Mac notebook batteries explains the battery status and what to do about it.


You might try resetting that Mac's SMC: How to reset the SMC of your Mac. That might fix it. If not, get it fixed. If your Mac is less than a year old it's definitely under warranty.
