I have noticed various threads on here regarding battery percentage & cycle count.
I thought I would post up a comparison between the MBP’s I use mostly. I charge them from about 50% up to full 100%, leave on charge whilst using them and before finishing I unplug & let them run on battery capacity for a while.

The new 16’’ pro battery capacity is steadily lowering whilst the 2015 has remained the same. I find that odd.
Not a complaint & moreover an observation.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this from the older MBP v newer models?

2015 mid MBP with a new Apple replaced battery.
