In order to know how many battery cycles you have completed on your MacBook, you can make use of ioreg command on the Terminal, but as this command will print out a lot of information, you can make use of the grep command to narrow down to just use the battery cycle as follows,
% ioreg -r -c "AppleSmartBattery" | grep 'CycleCount" ='
"CycleCount" = 216
As you can see the above command outputted that I have completed 216 battery cycles on my Macbook.
