MBP 2017 Battery Full Charge Capacity Floating

I bought a new Macbook Pro 2017 13 inch model without touch bar a month ago.

I installed the coconout battery and I noticed some changes using it this month.

On my fist use, it said 2 battery cycles with full charge capacity 4883 mAh and design capacity 4790 mAh.

After few weeks, the battery reach 8 cycles and full charge capacity drops to 4634 mAh.

Most of the time it is plugged in on charge wallet.

I ran it on battery until 5% once when cycles was 6.

Now I would like to know if there is a way to get it back up to 4790 mAh od full charge capacity or did I damaged my battery?

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

I purchased the new MacBook Pro 15" (Top model base config) about 1.5 weeks ago. Cycle count is only 4 and Full Charge Capacity (mAh) is 6793. It's larger than the 13" so, I'd assume, has a larger battery but just wanted to give information for whatever baseline it'd provide.

Deep discharge is the enemy of long life in the batteries currently used in Apple notebook computers.

I get that.

but you did not WRITE that, and Users are depending on your writings for reliable information.

If you cannot somehow become substantially more precise and produce writings that are much more defensible, you should consider taking a break from replying here -- where it is easy to mislead novice users and readers who might get here by searching, and not be able to read your mind.

That difference is virtually insignificant. Once a battery starts working it may never return to its original maximum level. It is part of the process of being used.
