CoconutBattery – Extended Battery Information

November 26th, 2006 - Mac OS X, OS X Apps, Utilities

If you own a Mac laptop, you’ll want this app. CoconutBattery provides the usual current battery charge information, but that’s not what makes it cool. Anyone that has owned a device operated by rechargable batteries can tell you that over time the capacity diminishes. That is what makes CoconutBattery so unique, it provides detailed information on your batteries life, comparing original and current battery capacity.

You can also save battery data at will, allowing you to compare your batteries health and lifespan to usage statistics and the time passed. This is particularly useful if you are always on the go and are curious how much usage you can really get out of a single battery. CoconutBattery can also tell you how many loadcycles your battery has had in total, the age of your Mac, if the battery is charging, and if your charger is connected.

God. My MacBook is only 2months old, had 19 Battery-loadcycles but my current battery capacity is only 93%. Seems to go down a % every week or so. Do I have a problem battery?

[...] This is a fun little program that quickly gives you information on when and where your Mac and iPod were built (it claims to check any Apple products based on serial number, but we couldn’t test this feature). There’s also an ability that allows you to check your serial number against a database to see if your Mac was reported stolen, which could be useful for those who have purchased a used Mac or iPod via Craigslist and eBay. If the Coconut name sounds familiar, its because the developer also makes CoconutBattery, a great app for Mac laptop owners. As you can see, my MacBook was made in China (aren’t they all?) and built between the 15th and 21st of May, 2006. I’ve heard that some users are reporting Macs built in the USA, Spain, and Ireland, but all that I have seen and owned are from the People’s Republic. [...]
