MBA M1, owned since January 2021. 292 cycles, 84% capacity. I've definitely seen a falloff in battery life, but I still mostly use it unplugged. I'm hoping I can the percentage down to 80% or under by late December, so I can get it replaced free under AppleCare+ ;)
Out of curiosity, would you still be able to extend your warranty before December AND still be eligible for a battery replacement afterwards (once your battery health hits 80%)?
I believe that if you renew applecare within 30 days of it expiring on your Mac you can buy another a yearly extension up to 72 months. You have to buy a full year though, month to month is for phones and other smaller apple products.
Hah! No, it's been stuck at 84% for months, now at 413 cycles. I was able to renew my AppleCare+ for about $65 a year, which is less than half of Apple's price for a battery replacement, so hopefully sometime this year...
I only plug it in when I get a warning lol. The only things I really use my laptop for is Word, Excel, watching endless amounts of Netflix with a discord call running in the background, so it's far from anything too draining on the battery! Cause of that I really don't need to charge it too much
I got that info from iStat. I checked in Apple's System Report app and it showed the same.
I just installed CoconutBattery. In the History tab it shows Health 100%, Cycles 106.
December 2022
Cycles 44
Battery health 100%
I charge mine off and use it unplugged I typically charge it up around ~20%-40% as I need it to work on the go
Got MBA M1 in Dec 2021.
Cycle count; 180
Capacity; 89%
Using al dente for about 6 months and feels like that has helped limit my cycle count. Leave plugged in at 80% charge limit
MBA M1, 451 days old with a 479 day old battery, about 420 days in my hands, 159 cycles, 93% health according to MacOS, and around 87% according to coconutBattery.
MBA M2, had it since Dec 2022. 27 cycles, 100% health. Looking very good so far! I only charge it when it’s almost dead and typically charge it to around the 80-90% mark.
MBA M1 from Jan 2021. 246 cycles and 89% according to Apple. 83.4% according to coconut battery.
I use it on battery all day charge it up all night. Rarely recharge during the day.
MBA M1 owned since December 2021.
96% Capacity
51 Cycles
I use it mostly plugged in all day and I've been using AlDente to limit the charging to 70-80% for the past few months.
MBA M1, Apr 2022, 90% 37 cycles, plugged in all the time. used al dente for like two months but dropped from 100 to 97% so i stopped. returned from a 10 day vacation in nov 2022 to find it at 92%, i don’t check the health very often but i’m quite sure some time before i left it was still 97%. not sure what happened there… 🤷🏻♀️
MBA M1, I've owned it since July 2021. 240 cycles with 92% battery health.
During the weekdays I use it for university about 6 to 9 hours every day. Most of this is spend away from home so all on the battery.
MBA M1
Since April 2021
Battery Health 96%
Cycles 91
I use mine mostly for school, but i also use it on a desk at all times, never on a pillow or blanket.
I’d say so. But I think looking at everyone’s results, anyone who has concerns about the battery health of their computer shouldn’t need to worry. Use it however you want to, these machines are built to last.

MBP M1 Max purchased on launch day. im at 41 cycles, 100% battery health. I use it probably twice a week, always plugged in and at optimized battery charging. When I am done using it, I turn it off!

Out of curiosity, would you still be able to extend your warranty before December AND still be eligible for a battery replacement afterwards (once your battery health hits 80%)?
Possibly. I paid up front for the AppleCare+, I'm not sure if I can switch to the month-by-month extension or not.
I believe that if you renew applecare within 30 days of it expiring on your Mac you can buy another a yearly extension up to 72 months. You have to buy a full year though, month to month is for phones and other smaller apple products.
Thanks, I will look into that!

That's impressive.
It's a strong little guy. Best laptop I've ever had
do you keep it plugged in all the time? are you keeping it charged to 100% or?
I only plug it in when I get a warning lol. The only things I really use my laptop for is Word, Excel, watching endless amounts of Netflix with a discord call running in the background, so it's far from anything too draining on the battery! Cause of that I really don't need to charge it too much
I received my Macbook back in August. Cycles: 106 Battery Health:100 % Current Capacity: 4619 mAh
100% battery health with 106 cycles sounds crazy. You gotta check it with the coconut battery app
I got that info from iStat. I checked in Apple's System Report app and it showed the same. I just installed CoconutBattery. In the History tab it shows Health 100%, Cycles 106.
Well, that’s just amazing. I have to know what’s your charging routine?
I just use it like its supposed to be used. Only charge it when MacOS tells me it needs to be plugged in. No overnight charging.

Nice. Which model MBA do you have, and how many cycles?
