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.

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
