    Sorry - what is the question?

    charge cycle @ 136 means the laptop has been charged 136 times since it was sold by the factory. Apple batteries usually (not always) can be charged 500-1000 times before they need to be replaced.

        See attached.

        1) Start with reading the voltage on F7040, pin # 2 with external adapter attached. What is the voltage for PPBUS_G3H ?

        2) Next, power down and remove the external adapter. Use the battery only.

        List the voltages from the attached diagram.

        Do you see the PPBUS_G3H with a similar voltage as supplied by the battery? (NO EXTERNAL adapter should be attached)
