Just thought I'd ask the opinions of some others that might be more familiar with how these MBP's batteries hold up over time.

This is my current battery state after 10 months, the MBP build date and my actual turn on date are only about 6 days apart, looks like the physical battery cells are almost 1 year. Because of my usage I primarily use the system on AC power due to heavy work loads, I usually cycle it down to 30-50% weekly

I'm assuming 98% is doing well for its age, not sure if keeping it at 100% usually always is hurting it but I really have no choice, heavy video editing, I would be draining and charging this system multiple times a session.
