    16 PM battery draining 10% an hour

    Anyone else having issues with their 16PM battery? I’ve had it since release day. Initially the battery was great (would drain 2-3% an hour with regular usage) but currently running 18.1.1 and the battery is horrendous. I was speaking to Apple support earlier and it drained 6% in 20 minutes...

    Resolved Higher Battery Repair Cost

    Just left the only ACSP (Apple Certified Service Provider) we have outside of big electronic stores and was surprised that they had a MUCH higher price for the battery replacement than Apple quoted on their website. Apple quotes 106€ (I’m in Germany) but the store is charging 169€. Why? How...

    I developed Battery Optimizer for MAC, and it's Free.

    BatteryOptimizer_for_MAC is a simple CLI tool. Its function is just like AlDente - set battery charge limit and schedule battery calibration for macbooks, only that this tool is free and open source. BatteryOptimizer_for_MAC is a light-weighted tool. It provides the functions of AlDente and...

    Al Dente for a student?

    Hey everyone, I’m going to get a Macbook soon. Since this is my first Mac machine I’ve been doing some research, and as if there weren’t enough things to be aware of I found out about Battery Cycles ;) Now I’ve been doing some research about the topic and found out that quite a handful of people...

    DIY power adapter ok for Tiger, not for Leopard

    I recently detailed (in another thread) how I’d made a power supply for my Pismo using a stereo plug, an RCA plug, and an old Dell powerbrick. It’s still working fine, however when I installed Leopard on another partition the other day I noticed that there was an “x” in the battery icon and...

    iPad Fast Charger (wired or portable) for ipad pro

I'm looking for a fast-charger of some sorts that'll get her back up and running with minimal wait...

    Does anyone else wish there was something between the Apple Watch and Ultra?

    I've worn an Apple Watch since 2018, got it for running and daily use. Started with the Series 4 (Space Grey), and then started running full marathons...the battery was in bad shape after a few years so I then got a Series 8 (Silver) in 2022. I loved it, but after WatchOS10...the battery took...

    iOS 18 does not let me charge iPhone 13PM past 80% with Optimized Battery Charging on.

    There’s a bug in iOS 18 and my iPhone 13 pro max that when I leave my phone to charge overnight with Optimized Battery Charging on, it only charges to 80% by morning. The problem is that it stays like this indefinitely, and I can’t get it to charge past 80% at my location. Back in iOS 17, my...

    Out of warranty battery replacement at higher than 80%?

    What is Apple’s policy on replacing batteries out of warranty before they show an alert in the menu bar? I was told by AppleCare over the phone (twice) that if I’m paying out of pocket they will replace a degraded battery even if it’s not down to 80% yet and showing the warning. Mine is at 84%...

I've had this early 2015 Mac Air and started using it in 2020, almost every day. Until a month ago I knew nothing about battery cycles and only when I saw, 3 weeks ago, that my...
