Battery Tool
Coming soon ! Contact us if you are interested in testing.
The Chipmunk Battery Tool is an easy to use tool to see many interesting things about an Apple Battery.
It does many things:
1- Shows the Cycle Count
2- Shows Serial Number
3- Shows Capacity that the battery still has left
4- Shows if the 'Permanent Fail' Flag has been set.
One of the uses it to distinguish between batteries that are dead and ones that are merely very discharged. If you charge a severely discharged battery VERY carefully it is often possible to bring it back to life. Within the Mac this will not happen because the Mac will only charge the battery once it can talk to the battery, but the discharged battery will not talk until it is charged (a little bit).
