Battery health drop to 95% at 79 cycles on MacBook Air M1

Hello Apple Support,


I’m reaching out regarding my MacBook Air M1. My device’s battery health has dropped to 95% at only 79 cycles, which seems unusually fast.


My warranty expired just 5 days ago, and I’m hoping you could please consider a goodwill or out-of-warranty exception for a battery service, since this issue started very close to my warranty end date.


I really love my MacBook and have always taken good care of it — I’d deeply appreciate any support or diagnostic check you can provide to confirm the battery condition.


Device details:


Model: MacBook Air (M1, 2020)


Battery cycle count: 79


Battery health: 95%


Warranty expired: 5 days ago


Serial Number:

Thank you so much for your help

and understanding 🙏
