I've had a macbook for 10 months and the battery capacity is already down to 85%. What should I do to check whether this is normal or not?

I think there are a few different things you might want to ask about here. The easiest thing to start with might be to just check whether what you’re describing is normal for this model of laptop. That’s also really quick and easy, just do a google search or ask in the Apple Genius forums. If it’s abnormal, you might want to move on to asking about whether that’s because of something you’ve done to it, or because of a fault. If you think it’s something you’ve done, try asking on a forum about that particular thing you’ve done, or ask in the apple forum. But if you think there’s a fault, you should go ahead and get it serviced, which will probably cost a lot. If it’s still under warranty, you’ll be able to ask the Apple Genius to diagnose it and recommend a fix, but if it’s not under warranty you’ll have to do that yourself.

Apple tells me unless the battery health goes below 80%, they won't replace it and it doesn't come under warranty. However, I've heard this is very unusual battery depletion.
