Sam,

your battery’s Health Information shows that your battery is fine.

If you click on your Apple menu, does it show your shutdown option as “Shut Down…” or as “Shut Down” (i.e., is it shown with or without the ellipsis)? The usual way to avoid the “Are you sure you want to shutdown your computer now?” menu is by holding down an Option key when selecting your shutdown option from the Apple menu, and it seems to be acting as though an Option key were being held down.

Your battery health is fine...the Condition of Normal is what you want to see. The capacity of 6591 mAh is great for a relatively new battery with only 96 full charge cycles.

Depending on how you shutdown or sleep you do not get warnings or confirmation requests.
