    First, Apple says that the battery is designed to last UP TO 1000 cycles, not will last 1000 cycles.  Some will, some will not.

     

    How you have used/abused the battery can greatly influence its condition.  Batteries are also very volatile and can change up and down over the course of time.  What you have described is not out of the ordinary.  For peace of mind, you may have your battery checked for FREE at an Apple store genius bar.

     

    Here is every thing you wanted to know about batteries from Apple:
