Using bash/terminal to get number of battery recharge cycles I would like to get the number of recharge cycles using bash (terminal commands). I understand the following command will display all of the battery data, but I want the cycle count on its own

ioreg -l -w0 |grep Capacity


I use the following command to get the battery percentage, so I imagine it can be modified slightly to get the cycle count instead;

ioreg -l | awk '$3~/Capacity/{c[$3]=$5}END{OFMT="%.3f";max=c["\"MaxCapacity\""];print(max&gt;0?100*c["\"CurrentCapacity\""]/max:"?")}'


I'm new to bash, so I'm not completely sure how that code works, or how I'd adapt it for my needs.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Something like
system_profiler SPPowerDataType | grep &quot;Cycle Count&quot; | awk '{print $3}'

should do the job.
system_profiler SPPowerDataType | grep &quot;Condition&quot; | awk '{print $2}'

will get you the battery condition, for example: Normal.
If you want more output, run:
system_profiler SPPowerDataType | grep -A3 -B7 &quot;Condition&quot;

to get something similar to this:
