Before I had an 11 I had an SE, and by year 2 or 3 the battery was so weak that I had to carry around an external charging pack for it. This got really awkward (and a little scary) for traveling and was part of the reason I upgraded to a newer model.

Right before I sold that SE to my friend I checked the battery health, and it was in the high 80s. Yet I could not get a full day's use on a single charge. This led me to conclude that that Battery Health measurement was bullshit.

I haven't looked at it before.

Apparently if I enable analytics I will get a report saying how many cycles my batter has lasted. Unless I use my phone for several hours of playing spotify and youtube I don't notice the battery dying during the day.
