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.
