Is it normal for my MacBook Pro's battery to be at 94% health after 5 months?

I have this laptop for about 5 months and its battery health is already at 94%. I don't think if its normal.

This is normal... I would not worry about your battery.

It is not neccessarly a linear progression— after 1 yr of BHM you can see the % increase

ex.

The rule of thumb—

"If you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on battery only"—

this is how you reduce cycle count and prolong the working life of your battery.

Battery Health Management software does the micromanaging for you
