I have a summer 2011 Macbook Air and only after 300 cycles, I am getting the service battery message. The battery is at 72% of its capacity and lasts only 2 hours. Please help.
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The battery capacity is too low for a Mid 2011 MacBook Air, and OS X has detected that there's a problem with your battery.
Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery replaced. If you bought AppleCare, the battery replacement is free as it's a defect, but if not, you will have to pay $129 for the battery replacement
To add more to my last answer, in the case of your MacBook, the battery should have 80% of capacity after 1000 cycles. See > http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
The battery needs to be replaced, there's nothing any of us can do.
Thank you dwb and mende1.
You are welcome
