macOS shows battery health in two places. Quick view: System Settings → Battery → click the small "i" next to Battery Health. You'll see Maximum Capacity (as a percentage) and Cycle Count. Apple says MacBook batteries are rated to retain 80% of original capacity at 1,000 cycles - that's typically 4-5 years of normal use. Indicators to watch: 1) Maximum Capacity below 80%. 2) Cycle Count above 1,000. 3) Sudden shutdowns at 30-50% remaining (the cell's internal resistance has climbed). 4) Visible swelling lifting the trackpad or keyboard - stop using and replace immediately, swollen lithium cells are a fire risk.
For a deep diagnostic, install free apps like coconutBattery (Mac App Store) - shows design capacity vs current, charge cycles, manufacturer, and serial number. We do free battery health diagnosis at our Dubai workshop and replace batteries in 4-6 hours with a 6-month warranty.
