All is Fine:

Well, sure it seems strange. But, that's just the way it is. There is no way to determine what the drop occurred.

About Battery Degrading:

The Battery Health drops 1-3% out-of-the-box. Why has occurred is normal. Batteries degrade as they are used, eventually depleting (which you should avoid). It cannot stay at 100%. I have had mine replaced a few times, due to high use. I do not use it as much at this moment in time. So, I have not had to replace it in a while.


Unfortunately, there is no way to know how nor when this degrade occurs. Apple recommends that you get a new battery when the Battery Health reaches 80%. So, if the Battery Health is greater than 80%, there is no need to change the battery (yet).
