No battery stories with phones but with a laptop, every time I'd run the
battery to near zero** (because the charger came unplugged and I didn't
notice it, after re-charging, going by Nirsoft's free BatteryInfoView,
I'd have lost 10% from Battery Health.  Other than those times, it
didn't go down, but 3 or 4 times down to near zero and the battery
wouldn't take a charge, wouldn't start the laptop.  Coudn't find for
sale a battery as big as the original, maybe only 80%, but it's now at
100% battery health of that 80%.

 Note that, as I've mentioned before, general purpose utilities like
BatteryInfoView don't tell the truth (read: cannot tell the truth). So
always try to also use a utility from the manufacturer of the laptop.

 
Checking, I see that Acer does have a way to check, so I ran it, and it
wrote a file, and going to see the file, I saw another similar file from
last June.  I see that I also did this last June, probably to decide if
I needed a new battery.  Who remembers these things. But I did need one.
My old battery had gone from
Battery capacity history
PERIOD                  FULL CHARGE CAPACITY    DESIGN CAPACITY
2021-03-18 - 2021-03-30 34,425 mWh              37,000 mWh
to (with many readings in between)
2024-06-18              25,500 mWh              37,000 mWh

  If that is from the battery-report.html file generated by 'powercfg
/batteryreport', then that's a general Windows utility, not an
Acer-specific one.

  OTOH, it reports a nice round number for 'DESIGN CAPACITY', so I think
that is indeed the documented design capacity, instead of a calculated/
'fabricated' one.

  Can you give us the name of the utility which you used?

I might have gotten the laptop at that first data, 3/18/21.  It seems
longer but that the trip I know I took it on.  So I only had it 3.5
years. It seems longer.
