I got a refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro 16" on amazon a couple days ago. I checked the battery count at it’s at 385 cycles. Is this good or bad? I paid under $600.

What is an ideal battery cycle amount when buying refurbished macs?

    The battery is designed for ~1000 full charge cycles. What is the remaining battery capacity in percentage?

      It won’t give me the percentage, even when I do the system report. Not sure why.

        If the remaining battery capacity is more than 85% then this will be an excellent choice. If less than 80%, be prepared to replace the battery. And it would be nice to see the battery status in MacOS - it should be “normal”
