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 13″, macOS 12.4
