Full charge capacity and battery Hello, what's the full charge capacity of the MacBook Air 2020? I've been using mine for 2 months and currently it has 4282, I don't know if that's too low for the time that I've been using it. I would also like to know if leaving the MacBook plugged it while using it affects its battery performance and health.

MacBook Air 2020's full charge capacity decrease Greetings. I have a soon to be 3-months old MacBook Air 2020 (i3 version) and as far as I know, the design capacity is 4381 mAh. When I check it in the System Information application, it usually says that it's around 4200 mAh, sometimes it's a little bit more, sometimes it's a little bit less. Is that a normal sign for just three months? And what can I do preserve the battery health for a longer period of time? Thank you!

Battery charge remaining of a brand new MacBook Air Retina doesn't match with Full Charge Capacity I noticed that the difference between the battery charge remaining is lower than the full charge capacity. I know that is normal but the difference is pretty high (214 mAh). This doesn't seems to be normal, right? This difference is pretty similar to the difference that my mid 2013 MacBook Air (which battery has about to 500 cycles). Anyone knows if this is normal? Many thanks in advance!

This gem of an app called coconutBattery can tell you that info. Download coconutBattery from this website and run the application after it has finished downloading. You can find the batterie's design capacity where I have circled in the image below.
