    Flashlight - AAA vs 18650 Batteries

    Finally upgraded the flashlights in my house after the ones we had got a wee bit old. Decided on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FK5XYN4?psc=1&smid=A2N4P33Z7UPC2W&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp to replace all the ones we had (failing rechargeable lantern, 2 rechargeable Anker flashlights from 2016, etc)...

    Significant Energy List not showing recently used apps

    I’ve encountered a bug with Ventura whereby the significant energy tab on Ventura would not show apps which are consuming energy. This happened with 13.0.1 and I’m not sure if it affects 13.1. This has been happening on my M1 14 inch MacBook Pro and I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software...

    How long should 2 AA batteries last in an Apple wireless mouse? So far, I am getting about 4-5 weeks... that seems horrible.

    I bought an older (Late 2013) iMac from my university and with it came an Apple Wireless Mouse, the not-rechargable kind that takes two AA batteries. I got the iMac and mouse out of storage recently and put in some batteries I had, then noticed that a couple of weeks later I was getting...

    What does time on ac actually refer too?

    I just had to plug and and restart a totally dead notebook 0%. It is a 1 week old Ice Lake 13" MBP so as new as it gets. After about three days of it sitting in my backback not being opened it was dead. I assume it was close to 100% when it went into the bag. I used to own a 15" from 2013 and...

    Magic Trackpad… Batteries draining super fast.

    I have noticed the past few months the batteries are draining incredibly fast. I used to eke out two months or so… well that was when I bought the trackpad new a couple years ago. Right now I am down to 1 1/2 weeks, which is frankly ridiculous! For the record: Mac mini, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5...

    Negative side effects when charging an iPhone with an external battery?

    This may seem like a silly question, but I've rarely used external batteries before, and honestly, I never charged my Apple devices with anything other than Apple chargers. Now, I know that people use external batteries for a lot of things, but then again, people will often sacrifice battery...

    AirPods Battery Degradation

    Do AirPods batteries (in the case and the earbuds themselves) experience the same kind of battery degradation as phones? We all know how bad battery degradation can be with phones. Does that carry over to this audio accessory? It is after all the same underlying battery technology (lithium-ion).

    Battery questions - replacement + external

    Is there any brand other than Apple you would trust for an internal battery replacement for MacBook Pro early 2011? Or should I just take it in? What external battery would you recommend? Larger capacity (40000+mah) preferably. I have both an early 2011 MacBook Pro and late 2016 MacBook Pro...

    Question: Battery strange behavior. What to do? What to know?

Problem is that since I used to use it in closed clamshell mode, I didn't notice that the trackpad wasn't working until recently. After opening it up, I discovered that the battery has swollen. So, before selling the...
