Service Battery to Normal Battery Condition
When I got home, I looked at my MacBook and clicked the battery button.
I saw that there is a service battery warning and I was worried and searched for some answers and a replacement battery. Because I’m not sure if iFixit ships battery in the Philippines.
But I saw an article that resetting the SMC will “fix” (not sure about this) the problem, because I didn’t get any ‘replace soon’ warning or other warning before…
So I reset the SMC and then the condition of my battery now is Normal. So is there any other way to verify that my battery condition is normal?
It has a 940 battery cycles now and my battery is not swollen (it didn’t expand in any way)..
Update (10/31/2019)
So, after a busy few weeks I downloaded CoconutBattery and the result is shown in the picture.
So, should I replace my battery, or it is fine for now?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Resetting SMC doesn't fix the problem only hide it!
All you did was erase the tracking data of the battery which is held in SMC. Over time the system will report the warning again.
Rarely do I find the OS's warning to be wrong.

You'll need to find a local source for the battery in the Philippines or find a friend who is traveling to a country which the battery can be shipped by iFixit or offers a store that offers it.
