No battery health in MacBook Air 2017?

I have MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017), NO Retina screen. I found some problems with battery and wanted to check its health. But i didn't find this in my settings!


This is my battery settings screenshoot.



And this is how it must look (from this text).



I have not get "Battery Health" function because of my model of MacBook? Or how can i find it? OS is Big Sur 11.2.1.


Thanks for help and sorry for my english, it is not my native language.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

The top screenshot is how it should look with Big Sur 11.2.1 with the exception that the Battery Health button is missing. Two possible reasons for that from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211094?cid=mc-ols-energy_saver-article_ht211094-macos_ui-04022020


You may have a Mac that doesn't have Thunderbolt 3 ports. See:

Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5 or later, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 or later on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

or you may have a new Mac with the M1 chip instead of Intel:
