FWIW my Full Charge Capacity is 4728 mAh after 257 cycles.
I have Applecare so not worrying about it until shortly before it expires.

Should have added, it is a 2016 MacBook, manufactured date 16th May 2016. Battery manufacture date 6th April 2016.
I think it is the same battery in all of three gens of the Macbooks, can't find any info. The newer processors and components are more efficient and do not use as much power so they may last a little longer for every generation.
Looking at our figures they look like the same so that is my guess.
I have a 2016 model, purchased in the spring of '16, with 181 cycle count and it just started giving a Service Battery warning. No Apple Care, and the list price of battery replacement is $199. The Macbook has never been exposed to temperature extremes or charged on any other than the stock charger, this is obviously a manufacturing defect. Windows 8 drove me to the Apple world a few years ago, looks like I'll be headed back.
sorry to revive an old thread but how were you using it? did you keep it plugged it all the time?Genius Bar verified I need a new battery today. No negotiation, full price $299 replacement is all that is being offered. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. No more Apple products for me.
sorry to revive an old thread but how were you using it? did you keep it plugged it all the time?
interesting. thank youIt was a mix, I typically didn’t plug it up to charge if it was in the 80-90% range, but if it did need charging it might stay plugged up overnight.
I've seen a lot of threads that these terraced battery design and the new chemistry that apple introduced w/ the 12" mb led to accelerated degradation in battery capacities. I have a 7-year-old 2012 rmbp 15" that has 200 cycles and is sitting on 91% capacity as I write this. I don't think these newer batteries on the current gen mb, mba and mbp last as long as the last gens.
I really don't know what changed but this degradation in battery quality over the years is really putting me off in buying another mb, even though I'm personally a fan of mb designs.
