Battery Condition: Replace Soon?

Hey everyone


I have a 13" Macbook (white) from 2010 (2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB)


Cycle count: 1017

Condition: Replace Soon


Should I be really worried? How soon should I really replace it? And how much do you think it will cost?


I'd appreciate any feedback and answers, thank you!🙂

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

You can keep using it with the power adapter until you get a new battery.
