iFixit Replacement Battery Losing Charge Quickly

Hi there,

I bought a replacement battery for my MBP retina mid-2012 from ifixit around mid-June 2020. Replaced it myself and no issues whatsoever in the beginning. However, the last week or so, I realise the battery is losing charge quicker than normal. Check coconutBattery and realise that battery health is already 91% after less than 3 months of usage. Is this normal for a replacement battery? Thanks

Every battery is going to break down over time. Some batteries degrade faster than others. Maybe you just got unlucky and got a battery that degrades faster than others. Just try to live with it or maybe asking for a replacement(?). Hope this helps.

I know that all battery degrades over time. Was just wondering if mine degrade significantly faster than other? As I don't want to ask for a replacement if this 'rate of degradation' is within normal. Thanks

it depends on how hard you stress the laptop and other factors so yea it’s gonna be hard to judge without knowing that. but if you use it pretty heavily then it’s normal.
