Notebook ProBattery wear level at 28%

[Marco]

After 2 years and 8 months my Mi Notebook Pro holds up pretty well. I don’t have dual boot, but I use it quite a lot during the day and by night I like to play CSGO and Rocket League with friends. This makes the laptop quite hot, so the battery might wear out a little faster than with regular use.

How do you check the wear of your battery? I checked it with the battery-report.html, but this doesn’t say much. It didn’t even count the cycles. The design capacity is 60 040 mWh and since the beginning (2018-04-02) it indicates a full charge capacity of 58 588 mWh, which is still the same? I suppose this is wrong and it has decreased over the years, but I have no idea how to check it.

Thx for the feedback, the OSX handles charging differently for macbooks, so it ruined my battery for sure.

You can calculate your wear level by the info you provided, it’s about 2.4%.

I use CPUID hardware monitor.

My full charge capacity is now at 41207 mWh, so about 32% wear. Think I need a new battery.

Even CPUID HW monitor tells me my battery has only worn down by 3 % (and this already since first boot), is this even possible? I thought that batteries only held about 80 % of their capacity after 2 years.

Sidenote: I do take care of my batteries by not charging them higher than 60 % and discharging lower than 35 %. Occasionally I charge more when I know I wont have an outlet close by or when I’m gaming and plugged in for 2 hours.
