At the time I had an old (2008 model I believe) MacBook Pro, on it’s first (or second) battery, and that battery was already heavily degraded. Because of that I saw no need to start logging the current battery capacity, but I made a note of doing that as soon as I got myself a new laptop.</p> <p>So, little over a year ago, when I retired by old and faithful for a brand new MacBook Pro, one of the first things I did was to set up a cron job that every half hour stores the current battery stats to a local file when turned on.</p>
