    14" MBP battery already dropped to 99%

    It's only got 21 cycles on it and 2 of them were already there when I got it. Coconut battery fluctuates between 95 and 97 but the system report now shows 99%. How could a brand new laptop battery drop that quickly with only 21 cycles? Anyone else seeing this?

    Iphone 12 Mini Battery Health Degrading

    So I picked up the iphone 12 Mini at launch last year and I love it, but I've noticed that my battery health is degrading surprisingly fast. Before this I was hanging onto an iphone 6 that I had been using for 6 years and the battery health on that phone is at 98%. My only thought on why this...

    iPhone 12 iPhone 12 battery cycles and health

    What’s your iPhone 12 battery cycle count and health? Share how long you’ve owned your 12, model, cycle count, and health. I got my 12 mini on launch day and I’m at 208 cycles, and 90% health/capacity. Apple states that battery’s should last +80% at 500 cycles. I don’t think I’ll make it to...

    iPhone 12 Battery Health survey for iPhone 12 users

    I have been using my Shortcut reminder to unplug at 96% charge everyday. Occasionally I miss the reminder and the battery gets charged to 100%. Most of the time, however, I unplug it at 96% and the phone rests unplugged overnight. I am not a heavy user and when I get home in the evening, it is...

    As an avid addict, ive gone through X, Xs, 11, and now 12 Pro Max. Each time Ive managed to give it to another family member with anywhere between 96%-98% battery health. Recently, and only noticing in the iOS 15 Beta, have I seen the battery health as low as 93%. Is this battery health drop...

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?

    New Battery Health Management Feature

    I have a 2018 Macbook Pro 15". A week ago I got my battery replaced because it was swollen. I leave my MBP plugged in while I'm working and I unplug it when I turn it off. This has been the case for me for the past 1.5 years and that is why I had 29 cycles on my swollen battery. Since I got the...

    I'm pretty disappointed with the MBP 16" battery health situation.

    So many people -myself included- report that their 16" battery health is less than 100% out of the box. Now that'd be okay if it was 99 or even 98. But for most, it's 95% or even less. Now that's all fine and dandy, discharge and charge and let it calibrate, it'll be fine and report correct...
