New Battery Capacity Question

Good day all.

I received a new battery from ifixit for an Alienware 13” R3 and it’s rated capacity is 76000 however, after 2 weeks it only charges to 72109.

The team at ifixit offered to refund or replace but before doing either I asked them their opinion. They suggested asking on the forum.

The battery arrived with a very low charge; NBD and I expected after a couple cycles that it would be fine. It seems to me that the battery is already in a degraded state; what are your opinions?

The goal was a fresh start with a full capacity battery; am I expecting too much?

I have no problem replacing it again, just don’t want to be going down a rabbit hole; LOL.

Thank you!!
