Battery dropped from 99% to 98% in 5 cycles—is that normal

iMac

As you can see, after 190 cycles, it dropped to 99%, which is okay. However, after only 5 cycles, it dropped quickly to 98%, and I haven’t even used it that much. Over the past week, I have only spent a maximum of 5 hours on my screen, not even playing games, and I leave it in a cool environment with no usage during the charging process. What’s wrong now?

Maybe the battery got a little boost?

Is the battery new? Did you get it from an Apple store?

Yeah, it’s the iPhone 15 Pro. I’ve had it since April.

Did you buy it new or was it a refurbished one?

Don’t stress about it, bro. The more you check it, the more it’ll bug you. I had issues with battery health too, but now I just don’t care. Let it be, God will take care of it. Amen.

I’m not super worried, just trying to understand why the battery was great and now it’s suddenly dropping fast. Anyway, thanks for the advice!

Just think of the battery like a problem you can’t fix and move on.

It’s all good. I had 100% for the first 205 cycles, and now after 270 cycles, I’m at 96%.

So it’s normal for it to drop quicker after the first 1%?

Yeah, it’s normal. You probably lost that first 1% a while ago, and now the drop just looks sudden.

After 190 cycles, Apple still shows 100%, but it’s not always accurate.
