I have a slim-line X60s 4 cell with maybe 14 cycles on it. Any guess to its worth? I'd like to sell it.

I have an 8-cell that I use, no longer have a use for this one.

I just checked, it has 11 cycles.

Number of battery recharge cycles. I read somewhere that charging 80% of the battery capacity counts as 1 cycle. In other words, plugging and unplugging the power cord 10 times don't count as 10 cycles.

so if this cycle hits zero its hasta la vista battery?

Zero cycle means the battery is brand new.

Power manager states that I have 32 cycles on this batt. I think its because i move around a lot with my thinkpad.

The cycle count is incremental; it counts up each time you cycle the battery through a discharge and recharge of significance.

Batteries are more or less good for several hundred discharge-recharge cycles, so your battery still has a good life ahead of it.

32 cycles in just 1 month is a bit too much. It's not going to die soon, but I recommend trying to run the laptop on AC power as much as possible, which is the single best way to maximize the life of a battery.

Maybe i should cycle between my 8 cell and 4 cell to extend the lives of them longer
