• 💡 The design capacity represents the battery's original capacity when the laptop was new.
• ⚡ The full charge capacity indicates the current maximum capacity when charged to 100%.
• 📉 A lower full charge capacity compared to the design capacity signifies battery degradation. For example, if full charge capacity is 20% lower than design capacity, the battery health is approximately 80%.
