I have 90% battery health on brand new MacBook air m3 15”

Hello, is it normal to have 90% of battery health on new Mac air m3? I got it few days ago. Should I return it? Only 3 battery cycles

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.5

Return it before the return window closes.

Whatever tool you used for that screenshot, get rid of it. They are useless at best, and Apple will not be interested in whatever it reported. Neither am I.

Bought from reseller. Returned - they gave me new one. Battery is at 101,4% maximal design capacity. Huge difference on battery. Thank you all for help. Hope no other problems with Mac 🙂
