iPhone has 100% battery cappacity, but there is 1685 cycles

I bought iPhone 12 as used. There is 100% capacity battery, but in file "Analitycs-2024-06-22-020016.ips.ca.cynced" I can see:

"last_value_BatteryHealthMetric":314,"last_value_BatterySerialChanged":false,"last_value_ChemID":1007901037,"last_value_ChemicalWeightedRa":299,"last_value_CycleCount":1275,"last_value_CycleCountLastQmax":0,"last_value_DOFU":null,"last_value_DailyMaxSoc":59,"last_value_DailyMinSoc":16,"last_value_Flags":8320,"last_value_FlashWriteCount":null,"last_value_GGUpdateStatus":null,"last_value_GasGaugeFirmwareVersion":109050834,"last_value_HighAvgCurrentLastRun":null,"

As you can see, there is CycleCount: 1275. Is that normal?

This is my second iPhone 12 (the first has my son). My battery drains quickly.

Nothing would be normal about a battery that displays a Maximum Capacity of 100% and a cycle count of 1685.


A new replacement battery would display as 100% Maximum Capacity, but no way that could be correct if the cycle count is correct.


So, one....or more likely, both....of the numbers are very wrong. It's a roll of loaded dice when you buy a used phone.


Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop to have the battery checked and tested.

I agree with KiltedTim that there is nothing useful to be gained by looking at the Analytics. However, if you bought a used iPhone 12 with a battery that says 100%, it's likely that it means the battery was replaced, possibly by someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple repair shop.
