M1 MacBook Air battery heath is at 97% with only 30 charge cycles!

Apparently, my new MacBook Air M1's battery health is at 97% with only 30 charge cycles! I have purchased this recently and how can my battery health loose 3% in just a few months? I haven't even done a lot of heavy work on this machine!


This is absolutely crazy! Also can't contact Apple, because I haven't purchased Apple care!


Anyway, anyone else having similar issues as me? Or if you have any tips please share!

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Batteries are Consumable Products and as such, the battery Capacity will degrade over time. The amount of Capacity will go up and down and this is normal. Apple Batteries are rated to 1000 Full Battery Cycles before they need replacement and / or 80% of Capacity also before needing replacement. About battery health management in Mac notebooks
