    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?
