Hello there guys - new member here with specific doubts.

I own a MBP 2015 15"... it was covered under the battery replacement program for Macs of this generation. Since the battery was replaced, I notice the new battery charges a lot faster and drains a lot faster... reaching a maximum of 6 to 5 hours on a full charge (even 4 hours if I am to watch a lot of videos in that time). The battery behaves normally, reaches 100% always and says is healthy... even after system report done.

I just noticed this one is significantly weaker than the previous (original)...

Are new batteries for MacBook Pro supposed to be like this? - does anyone know if they actually had to downgrade the battery for these models? or am I being scammed by Apple? (everything was done under Apple method and teams)
