A few days ago I discovered a MacBook Air from late December 2019 on Ebay classifieds. However, I'm a little surprised that it already has 228 charging cycles! It is quite possible that the person used their laptop very often… However, I only have 271 charging cycles on my 2012 Macbook and rarely do I not use it now? Isn't that a little strange?
What's your opinion?
Did you reset the device. I had a software bug on my Mac:
I got wrong numbers.
That is one battery charge every day. That's a lot. But if it was really used intensively for work every day, it can be.
Yes, I have often reset mine from 2012 … Nevertheless, the 271 cycles should be correct…
I have never bought this on Ebay, I just wonder if it is not a little unlikely that the part is only six months old and already has such "wear".
It is indeed a lot for such a short period of time. I would test it first, let's see how quickly the battery leaks.
Maybe it's not the original battery
I thought so, but with the new MacBooks it is very difficult to change the battery… At least it still has a 4-month guarantee…
Is there a way to check if the battery is original without screwing it on?

"There's an excellent free Mac utility called http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/
that that can tell you the manufacture date of both your Mac and the battery.
If the battery was manufactured after the Mac, then it's definitely not the original battery. "
I hope you can speak english. There's a program.
