| Jan 3, 2021 at 22:57 | comment | added | lucasarruda | Interesting @user3439894 . Did it always show that? Because even though you have only 4 cycles, that doesn't mean your battery has not degraded. In fact, it could have further because you almost did not uncharge it (electrons like to move and batteries needs to be uncharged and charged back sometimes). If you always had this same 92.6% that's a good sign for me. But if not, that just means you degraded to what I have on a new battery. | |

It shows the same Design Capacity, 8790 mAh, and 92.6%. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 16:22 | comment | added | lucasarruda | Right, I know batteries are different per computer. I am asking because I thought you had some insight that one could be more defective than the other. In this case, both softwares are detecting a smaller mAh according to expected battery specs for this model. | |
| Dec 31, 2020 at 15:59 | comment | added | jksoegaard | I wouldn't ask if it didn't make a difference... a 13" MacBook Air doesn't have the same battery as a 16" MacBook Pro for example. | |

| Dec 31, 2020 at 15:55 | comment | added | lucasarruda | Does it make any difference? It's a Macbook Pro 16 inch, latest model. | |
