Battery health is 96%, how it's even possible?

Hey,

On January I brought the new MacBook Pro 16 inch with i9, 16 gigs of ram and 1tb of ssd.

I usually connect my Mac to a power source during my work at home.

Once in 2-3 weeks I unplug my Mac form the power source just to "train" the battery.

My battery health is 96% according to iStat, take a look at this screenshot:



Not sure why it happened, I have the extended warranty as well.

Thanks,

Daniel.

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

I would not be overly concerned here— just use it as you see fit and see how it responds over time.




reference especially: My battery runtime is low
