MBP 15" i7 mid 2014. Nowadays its a desktop computer only so how long battery lasts is an non issue. But a working battery is needed so it won't throttle down like it would with a dead battery running on AC only. And this one does just fine. But obviously I'll replace it when/if it starts to swell.

I just tested how long this 2464 cycle battery lasts from 100% to shutdown. I turned all energy saving measures off and played 4k youtube video at 1080p and full screen (music and aerial scenery). Other software open: Coconut battery and Macs Fans Control. I did minor fiddling every now and then to check the status on the battery but other than that I just let it play the video. Last timestamp I saw about 5 secs before it went to sleep due empty battery was 2.44.xx. Not bad IMHO.

Now I'll wait for 5hrs and then recharge it to calibrate the battery.
