What's your battery capacity?

[Kalloud]

Hi everyone!
I have been using my iPhone 6s for about 7 months now and my battery capacity is already at 82%.
Is that normal?
What about you? Which device are you using and how much battery capacity do you still have?
EDIT:
Here's the app that mesures the remaining battery capacity of you phone:

It depends on how many charge cycles you have. The battery shouldn't drop below 80% until you are at 500 cycles. It's possible your battery dropped to 82% quickly and will hang there for the next year without degrading more.

On average I charge my phone 3 times every 2 days. So that should make about 315 cycles.

Unfortunately at least since iOS 10 that app and similar ones in the App Store don't really seem to be that accurate or good.

As mentioned above. Using that app is not accurate anymore. You need to use a Mac with Coconut battery or PC with iBackupbot to get an accurate number.

I didn't even know such apps existed. Accurate or not I'm at 94%...

I am afraid, even the coconut battery could not give an accurate number.

For some reasons my device has 351 load cycles within less than a year and battery capacity is only 41% of designed capacity. This correlates with rapid battery drain of iOS 10.3. I am not sure.

Coconut battery is 100% accurate. It's using real time battery readings. It's even more accurate than Apple's diagnostics because they are giving you a two week average.

If you are at 41% design capacity, and 351 cycles, your battery has failed prematurely. If you have warranty, you will get a free battery replacement.

Coconut battery is 100% accurate.

However, I just notice a huge fluctuation of "maximum charge". Five minutes ago it was 41%. Now it is 71%.
Load cycle does not change though, so I believe the 351 load cycle is correct.

When a battery is under 80% it becomes unstable. You can see it go from 5% to 55% to 30% capacity in 30 seconds. Very normal behavior. It's a depleted battery.

Mine is making Me consider an earlier upgrade OR buying a rose gold battery case lol
