my 10.5 is at 91% and only 80 cycles. I bought it at launch. I’ve started to notice it doesn’t hold up through the day as well. Is this typical for a device just over a year old. I try to never let it get hot but I definitely leave it plugged in over night.
 
91% after a year is not out of the ordinary. My 10.5 battery does not seem as good as it was when it was new but am not going to baby it or worry about the battery as I bought it to use and enjoy!

I see so many people in these forums who obsess about their battery to the point they can no longer enjoy the technology.
 
If one really wants to worry - then notice how long it takes to go from 100 % battery full to 99. %

and THEN 99 to 98 is so much FASTER - this will keep you up at nights :)

Honestly, I have noticed that my 10.5 battery degrades from 50% to 0% faster than 100% to 50%. :p
