My wife's ancient 7 year old MacBook gives this as it hardly lasts an
hour on battery. I'm hoping the tape continues to hold it together until
we can afford to replace it with a new one. That said, from terminal you
can find out the stats on your battery by copying and pasting the
following line:
ioreg -l | grep -i Capacity
You should get back something like this:
| | "MaxCapacity" = 6716
| | "CurrentCapacity" = 6648
| | "LegacyBatteryInfo" =
{"Amperage"=415,"Flags"=7,"Capacity"=6716,"Current"=6648,"Voltage"=12575,"Cycle
Count"=197}
| | "DesignCapacity" = 6900
which if you skip through all the "Vertical Line" junk you'll find the
Max Capacity (in mA), Current Capacity and Design Capacity. The above is
from my fairly new MacBook Pro.

There's an app called "Battery Health" that can give you a ton of info
about your battery, including the general health of your battery based
on the number of charge cycles it's gone through, the max charge it
can take, etc. I just found it yesterday when it was mentioned on a
podcast. This app exposes a lot of the battery metrics you can't get
to with the built-in battery/charge menu.
