System report shows the following for battery health:

Cycle count: 229

condition: normal

maximum capacity: 89%

Please do help me out. Should I get it replaced or should i keep using it?

What is the apple policy of replacing a battery under warranty?

M1 Macbook Air battery health 86% after 192 cycles. Is that okay? Hi, I have a 1.5 years old M1 MacBook Air (Purchased in January 2021). The battery has 192 cycle count on it, and its health shows as 86%. Is that okay? I know that battery health should reach 80% after 1000 cycles. If my calculations are right, my battery should reach 80% after maybe 250 cycles only, if not less. Is the battery defective this way? I did a diagnostics test, and it turned out okay with no issues at all. I talked to two apple representatives, one said it is okay and expected one said it is absolutely not okay. What should I do? Should Apple replace the defective battery for free, or will I have to pay for it? Thanks a lot.

MacBook Air M1 battery maximum capacity and health Hi I have a MacBook Air M1 year 2020, and it has the following information under the battery health. Cycle Count: 94 Condition: Normal Maximum Capacity: 88% I think I have very less cycle counts for its age but the Maximum Capacity seems suspicious. Apple says the battery to reach its maximum capacity of 80% when the cycle count is 1000. But at this rate, it is way faster than suggested. Do you think that I have to worry about this and what is the warranty status on this? Please advice, Thanks

M1 MacBook Air's battery health is 99% after just 14 cycles. I recently bought a MacBook Air M1. It has been just 1 month since I bought it and now it is showing 99% of battery health. Is it alarming? Is my MacBook faulty?. At this rate my battery health will be at 80% in just 280 cycles instead of apple advertised 1000 cycles.

I believe Apple will look at your battery if it goes to/below 80%.
