So far as I can find, there is no way to make the cycle count go back to 1, it isn't going to happen ever based on what I read and observe. You are going to have to live with that fact. Not my idea, just the way it appears to be, your milage may vary.

My batery cycle count is at 27. I can't figure out how to make it go back to one. I've run my battery flat and that does nothing. I've not recalibrated though.
