I have a Macbook Air 11 Inch Early 2014 and the cycle count is 808. The battery condition is normal, though. Why is my cycle count so high and will this cause problems?
MacBook Air, iOS 8.1.2
Only your usage of the computer determines the battery cycle count. As a guess, it would seem you normally charge to 100%, then unplug it, use it and recharge. If this is an accurate description of your usage, that would be the reason.
If you usage requires you to use the computer on battery, the options are limited. If you generally use the computer near an AC outlet, leave it connected to AC. If you need portability, use battery. All batteries are consumable items and will deteriorate over time. Apple batteries are rated to have 80% of capacity at 1000 cycles, some users will get more of a life, others less.

So how do I stop it from increasing too much and what will happen if it keeps increasing?
