And I will repeat another question, answer it too, please: what about the fact that the serial numbers of the battery and mouse are not identified on the website?

re: < ioreg -brc AppleSmartBattery >

From your post, I see manufacture is no longer listed on the newer M-series Macs w/ the command.

Intel Mac it still shows the info, my example: "Manufacturer" = "DSY".... but this does you no good.

As for as serial numbers on parts— please note Apple contracts with many many manufactures to supply parts, on a seven-day schedule Apple Ships over 57,000 completed units a day...

It would be hard to believe subcontractors would pass component part serial numbers along to the consumer within shipped units for all the various manufactures involved.

For example Batteries are supply by:

Dongguan Lewe Electronics Co., Ltd

Shenzhen Vanzone Technology Co., Ltd

Galaxy Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd

Baike Hongyun Technology Co., Ltd

Shenzhen Jiapeng Digital Technology Co 

Sunwoda (SWD) Shenzhen, China

DP

DSY

Huapu Technology

Huizhou Desay Battery Co.

Simplo Technology Inc

SMP

etc.

Hello! The battery manufacturer is not defined in the laptop system settings and even in the CoconutBattery program. Is that normal? And also the battery serial number (just like a Magic Mouse Last Gen) does not show any information on the website: checkcoverage.apple.com

The number of cycles, device activation and other aspects are all normal.

?

To what end is this important?

From the Terminal.app copy and paste:

ioreg -brc AppleSmartBattery

search "Manufacturer"

or from the > (Option key) System Information>Hardware>Power>Battery Information

see: Manufacturer

I read on some forums that if the manufacturer is not shown, then it may be a fake battery.

A brand new M3 and you think it has a fake battery.

I would suggest you can not believe everything you read on some forums.

Out of curiosity lets see the output from your M3:

 ioreg -brc AppleSmartBattery

Sorry for my over-anxiety. I am attaching a screenshot (initially there were 3 charging cycles). And I will repeat another question, answer it too, please: what about the fact that the serial numbers of the battery and mouse are not identified on the website?

Well, I never knew Apple to ship w/ fake batteries, fake mouse—

All I can suggest further if you are in doubt— is return it.

You have a limited 14 days for an exchange or refund for any reason—see  Returns & Refunds Order status

Only items that have been purchased directly from Apple, either online or at an Apple Retail Store

The battery in a MacBook is not a single object. It is 6 separate cells that are firmly glued in. It would be almost impossible to get a MacBook with a fake battery. From personal experience, it takes about 3 hours to change the “battery”. And the process isn’t for the faint of heart.

That's great! I will try to remember that the next time I get anxious.

It has become a prime mantra in my day to day. 🙂
