Log says that the original cpaacity is 45 000 mWh while the current one is just 34 710 mWh. Also I there has been 1687 battery cycles. I am unsure how quickly it changed the capacity as I had to reinstall Windows few days ago but it slightly concerns me. My laptop model is Lenovo ideapad l340 15irh with the original battery.

    It’s actually a good thing that it’s only diminished by that much after 3 years.
    Most laptop batteries only last about 3-5 years without losing more than 50% capacity.

    Nah. That’s pretty good for that amount if time. Assuming it’s not an HP or some weirdo brand, battery replacement is pretty easy (and, relatively speaking, inexpensive, less than a hundred to do it yourself, usually, assuming you don’t fuck up). HP consumer grade are occasionally hard to open.

    But losing only 10k mWh is pretty good. Worked on one that has lost 50k in 3 years. That was pretty bad.

    I’m impressed, that’s pretty good for a laptop battery with almost 1,700 cycles. Do you go from room to room a lot? Charging a laptop from 0 to full almost twice a day is very heavy use in my mind.

    My Dell’s 74Whr gaming laptop battery told me it’s time to be replaced after it bloated and made the touchpad inoperable just after 2 years of use.

    Standard metric is above 80% capacity after 1000 cycles. Yours is above 77% capacity after 1700 cycles, that’s good. Is you want to make the battery last longer : don’t charge above 80%, don’t discharge below 20%. There might be settings in your BIOS or OS to do that.
