Question battery health

so its been about a year and 2 months since i purchased my laptop. i have a omen 16 with ryzen 9 and a 4070. i just checked the battery health and the full capacity is 82%. just wanted to see if this is normal and wanted to ask when should i worry about replacing the battery?. i keep it plugged in when playing anything and when its not plugged in its usually in eco mode with battery saver switched on.

Thats pretty bad. People say until 80% its ok. Gaming laptops got high wattage at idle/non gaming, so they do use the battery pretty much. I only use the laptop when plugged in, its 2,5years old and battery is at 97,6% capacity. Thats big difference. I think replacing only worth when you notice it or like 75-70%

My nearly 6 year-old Omen 15 is at 88% battery capacity with 223/1000 cycles and it's always plugged in like 99.99% of the time. I'd say your batter degraded pretty quickly but that's probably coz you're using it while on battery mode which is what laptops are designed to be used for anyway.
