Macbook Air M1 - Battey reduced to 97%

Hi,

I purchased my Macbook air m1 on January 2023. The battery capacity is now reduced to 97% and the Cycle count is 22. Even after maintaining charging properly (30%-80%), I don't know why this is happening.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5

The following quote is from the alDente website [apphousekitchen.com] and is an answer to one of the FAQs. It might be an explanation of what's happened to your battery.


Keeping your battery at a lower percentage, such as under 80%, over weeks without doing full cycles (100%-0%-100%) can result in a disturbed battery calibration. When this happens, your Macbook might turn off with 40-50% left or it will stay at 100% for hours, and your battery capacity can drop significantly. However, this is only due to a disturbed battery calibration and not because of a faulty or degraded battery. To avoid this issue, we recommend doing at least one full cycle (0%-100%) every two weeks. Even if your battery calibration gets disturbed, doing 4-5 full cycles will recalibrate your battery and the capacity will go up again. AlDente Pro has a feature called Calibration Mode(https://apphousekitchen.com/feature-explanation-calibration-mode-2/), which will automatically do a full cycle when started.
