Hey,
im using a macbook pro13 inch mid 2012.
battery cycles: around 350
max capacity: 4636
design capacity: 5770 mAh
How can i increase max capacity? Is that normal? 80%!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
When you get a new battery, when the MBP is new. that will be that maximum capacity and it will decline from both age and use. There is no way to increase the capacity but you can purchase a replacement battery.
80% is to the point where you should start thinking about replacement.
Ciao.
80% ?!
Macbook Pro batteries are rated to 1000 cycles, you are about 1/3 of the way through the intended lifespan.

Sure you could chuck it out & get a new one, but that is not great for the environment (even with proper recycling). If you can't get through the day, then change it, but if you are OK with the time it runs for stick with it.
That is dependent upon the need for the length of battery run time. If an hour or two in portable mode is sufficient, then (up to a point) your strategy works. If more time will be required, the replacement is to be considered.
