MBA M2 Battery Health

Hi there.

I've recently got a MacBook Air M2 (16GB / 1TB in December 2022).

Battery was indicating 104% health.

I understand that after some time of use, it'll drop to 100%.

But... after just 6 months and only 42 cycles, it's already at 99%.

If I compare with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is 19 months old and still at 100% health, it makes me think whether this is "normal" on a Mac or I have some battery issue.

I ask you people to help - Mac is still covered, warrant expires on December 2023.

Screenshots show the figures.

Thanks a lot for your help.

99% is really good ... no problems. Let the battery take care of itself. Charge when needed, use on battery when needed and let the charging circuitry handle the micromanaging.

Thanks for your time. But the "dropping curve" already began... Is it normal? After just 32 cycles and 6 months of use?

It's normal.
