So I thought of getting a relative to buy the battery from some store or website in USA and get it here with him. Apple doesn't manufacture or...

    Is my MacBook Pro battery over?

    I own a MBP 13" Late 2013 (i5,8GB,512) since it release. I have read in the Apple Support page that the maximum cycle count for this device is 1000 cycles while my Mac has already 1313. Does this mean that my battery is almost over? Right now it lasts me quite a few hours without problem.
