same but it’s just annoying knowing that some units have 100% of the capacity while others like yours and mine don’t. oh well
After 10 cycles mines reading at 101% It does fluctuate by a couple of % during usage though.
Out of the box with no cycles it was reading 96%.
Please keep in mind that unless you're getting abnormal battery life, there's nothing to worry about; the number returned by CB has a rather large margin of error.

I think your battery is probably just fine. However, please follow the usual best practices for Li-ion batteries:
- Don't discharge too deeply, say below 40% on a regular basis: Li batteries like frequent, shallow discharges.
- Make sure the battery does not heat up too much, and avoid charging it while hot.
- Don't leave it plugged in for weeks/months. On the average if you use 25% battery per day it will take you 4000 days to reach the rated 1000 cycles, so use the battery.
