does my macbook pro have a bad battery?

[Harry-70]

hey guys so yesterday I got my macbook pro 15" (late 2013)iris pro and i am just using it. i have 4 tabs open in safari. and my battery drops about 4% in 2minutes
i downloaded a app to check battery health it says health is at 104% and the battery has 5 cycles. i have my display at max display and my keypad light on max. any help is appreciated

Battery life depends on CPU usage, display brightness and some other factors.
Maybe those 4 tabs you have open have Flash videos playing in them?
Maximum display brightness also takes its toll on battery life.

If you haven't read that FAQ yet, then use Activity Monitor to find out what is using your CPU that much.

I think you shouldn't obsess about it. Just start using your new MacBook and enjoy.

Now that I see your Activity Monitor I highly encourage you to uninstall Flash. That's what's killing you.

As you can see, and only MY PROCESSES are visible now, Flash consumes 30% of your CPU, though the CPU can go up to 800% anyway.
Select to show all processes and sort again.

And to make a screenshot of an entire window, press CMD+SHIFT+4, then press SPACEBAR, then move the mouse pointer over the window you want to shoot and click on it.

And if you decide to create another screenshot, please have the CPU tab at th bottom open at the same time.

And read that FAQ.
