A computer battery cycle count of 246 is considered low to moderate and generally indicates the battery is in great, healthy shape with much of its lifespan remaining.
Most modern laptop lithium-ion batteries are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity for anywhere between 300 and 1,000 full charge cycles.A general range breakdown:
Cycle Count Range Condition/Status
- Under 200 cycles Very healthy, like new
- 200-500 cycles Moderate, normal wear
- 500+ cycles Showing signs of aging; you might notice reduced battery life
- 1,000+ cycles Nearing or past its expected maximum lifespan (for some models); replacement may be recommended to maintain performance
