Battery health 90% after 350 cycle

16 pro max battery health 90% after just 350 cycle is it normal or not ? Should i worry about it?

Apple's documentation states that the battery in the 16 Pro Max was designed to go up to 1,000 Charge Cycles before the Battery Health / Maximum capacity declines to 80% under ideal conditions.


That works out to about a 1% decline on average for every 50 Charge Cycles.


So, under "ideal conditions", the Battery Health would be expected to be in the 93% range after 350 Cycles. Unfortunately, Apple does not tell us what "ideal conditions" might be, likely because folks don't all use their iPhones the same way.


90% is not bad, so nothing to be really concerned about.


All that you really need to remember is to replace the battery when the Battery Health dips under 80%. Your battery is about half of the way to that point.

Batteries don’t age in a linear fashion. Some aging comes just from time. When was the battery manufactured?
