Effect of Gaming on Battery Health

[deltaray]

HI Guys, I've been wondering a lot if my gaming (Guild Wars 2) has an adverse effect on my 2013 13" Macbook Air. It's only been 25 weeks since I've bought this, and I'm down to 90-94% battery health. I usually plug it in when playing and rarely do I play for long hours. Also, I use a mini fan to cool my MBA while playing. Is this normal?

Side question, from 96% last night I'm down to 92%. I think there's something wrong with my battery.

MBA stats from coconutBattery:
Age : 25 weeks
Load cycles: 26
Current Capacity: 6570/ 7150 mAh

Thanks in advance!

Bought my 2013 MBA when it came out last June, so it is almost a year old. My battery life is at 98%. When I know the MBA won't leave home, I usually use it on batteries until 50% of charge. Then I plug it and leave it there until I go to bed. Same thing next morning, If I'm not leaving and taking it with me of course.

I think (not sure) the key is to use the battery a little bit everyday. And also, don't become a slave of your computer and the battery life drama. Use it and make it explode if necessary.

Good luck
