Apple rounds up the battery percentages to a whole number (no decimal points). In reality your charge of 99% was 98.1 and 10 days later was 96.9, a change of only 1.2%. Changes look dramatic, but in reality it only dropped a little.


Monitor the battery health percentage over a longer period of time ideally 90 days or longer for a true indication of your battery’s health.
