I get "service battery" message, but Apple found nothing wrong?
My computer is telling me I need to service my battery, so I ordered a new one from Anker via Amazon. (Just FYI if you do this, they don't send the spudger, so I had to email and ask for that separately).
I opened up my case, and just looking at the battery I could see nothing wrong. Aside from the usual amount of dust in there, I couldn't discern anything out of the ordinary.
My question is this: do any other parts fail that would cause a "service battery" notification? The Apple "genius" told me the diagnostics brought nothing up, and that I still have about half the cycles left on this battery. Hoping I didn't waste $50 on the replacement.
Questa è una buona domanda?

That makes sense, machead93, thank you. I was experiencing some odd behaviors with my trackpad, so I wonder if it wasn't due to this. Even had the trackpad replaced about a year ago; thankfully the office paid for it.
Here's a screenshot of my results from Coconut Battery. It looks like everything's working as it should, but I may still swap it out if there's a chance something else may go wrong, since I already have the replacement.
