hey guys, recently I checked my battery status and it says that I have to service the battery, what does this mean exactly?

I have attached a screenshot of my battery status and cycles blah blah

can anyone suggest if it really needs servicing or can I continue using it without going to a store.

thanks in advance,

The design capacity for that model seems to be 5770 mAh, so even after 445 cycles, it's in good shape with it's capacity at 5519 mAh. "Service battery" should mean that the health dropped to some percent or hit a certain number of cycles. Health can also fluctuate.

Since Apple has a sticker on the battery that tells you not to mess with it yourself, they intend for you to bring it in to a store for service. You can easily replace it on your own if you want, but it would void any warranty you have and you don't seem to need to.
