89% battery capacity

My MacBook pro is 11 months old and has a battery capacity of 89%. Is this normal?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

It's not especially abnormal.


My 2016 MBP has been at 89% for over two years now. Capacity degradation and reporting is not necessarily linear; it might continue to drop and then again it might level off for a long time.


If your Mac is operating normally, just watch it when it gets to 80% consider having Apple replace then battery. But there's not really anything you can do to substantially mitigate the situation anyway.


Just use your Mac until it needs service.
