With the 1270 cycles, my battery shows "normal" on both the battery bar and the system report.
I feel guilty that for my MacBook having such a lucky battery, I wasn't able to get the most out of it. Because I have always done my video editing and gaming while on battery power. I feel like if I had only known that plugging in my mac for a long period of time wouldn't do any harm to my computer before, then I would reduce so many cycles and extend my one-of-a-kind battery's lifespan even longer.
But hey, I only knew and started to plug in my mac most of the time when it was already too late. By the time I knew that it was a good practice, my battery was already at 1217 cycles.
Sorry for going out of topic. Just saying what I feel. I wasn't able to get the most out of my battery since I only knew that I could have plugged It in the whole time and knew that this battery was surprisingly still holding more than 80% of capacity even after 1270 cycles when it was already too late. I'm just sad because there is a chance that a replacement battery won't be as "lucky" as the one I currently have. And I'm still planning on using this mac for many more years :( I could have extended the life of this battery if only I had known to plug it in WAY before. But it's too late.
I plan on replacing the battery somewhere between mid-late 2023. But I am trying to prolong my battery as much as possible by keeping it plugged in a while using but only using the battery two or more times a month. Personally, the current capacity of the current state of my battery is enough to satisfy me (it still lasts about 8 hours on internet activity), albeit lower than when it was new. Now I'm just trying to keep it at this capacity state for as long as possible to maximize the time before I need to have the battery replaced. (Battery replacements at iStore are very expensive, too, I think 210 dollars for Macbook Airs. But I will clarify whether that is the actual price.)
Unless the battery is damaged or broken, there is no reason for me to replace the battery at any capacity remaining provided it's not a big deal for me, right?
