I am dusting off my old Mid 2005 PowerMac mini with OS 9, Tiger, and Lion for the occasional nostalgia trip.
The PRAM battery is toast. Is this the same CR2032 that is in the later 10,2? Would like to make sure I have what's needed before cracking the case to replace the drive with an ATA SSD...
Is it ok to get a brand new laptop from the Apple Store with 99% Full Charge Capacity* (instead of 100%) and 7 charge cycles already in? According to CoconutBattery and Battery Monitor.
* I am not talking about the battery charge %, that was at 80%, I am referring to the Maximum Capacity the...
Hi there!
I’ve scoured the internet for help on this issue but I haven’t turned up any actual solutions so I thought I’d ask here…
I recently had to change the battery of my 2012 unibody 15” since the original one finally crapped itself, however the CPU is now locked to 1.4 GHz in macOS and 1.2...
Hey,
My battery life doesn't seem to last too long (iStat screenshot)
Current Specs - M1 Max, 16", 2 TB, 32 GB RAM
I had a M1 Max Pro, 16" 1 TB a few months ago and the battery seemed to last a lot longer (it was returned due to burnt pixels and then I ordered 2 TB model).
Any ideas?
My sister gave me her MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) a few months ago. The battery needed to be replaced so I purchased one from Amazon. The replacement was very simple and I have reset the SMC and cycled through the battery 2-3 times. The battery seems to work, but after it goes into what I...
Hi, my brand new MB Air M1 2020 drains battery when sleeping. This is output of pmset -g assertions, I can see Handoff there. Is there any way to keep Handoff turned on, but put my MacBook to really sleep when I close the lid? Thank you so much.

After upgrading to iOS 15 my 2020 11" iPad Pro has absolutely horrible battery life. I've narrowed it down to the home app, it is showing multiple hours of background activity in the settings app (Background...
Currently, I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
In all honesty, do I need a phone this large? Missing the days of using a phone with one hand.
Curious, has anyone here gone from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, to an iPhone 13 Pro?
Looking forward to your feedback...
Apologies if this has already been posted but I am really frustrated by how quickly my iPad Mini drains. I don’t know if it’s just me but I found that the iPad standby time has really gone down over the last couple of years. When I look at the battery statistics, Find My is the biggest drainer...
I have replaced my macbook pro 13" 2014 battery but ended up losing some keyboard functions: 1qaz, backspace dim, brightness and volume down. Have i damaged the circuit or something since 1qaz are in a row?
I have used the input keyboard in systems preference and can see that when i click on...
Hi all,
Since last december my 15’ MacBook Pro (Touch Bar, end of 2016) exhibits a very strange behavior. When plugged into power, it stops randomly charging at any given percentage (be it 50%, 30%, 80%, etc). The icon in the menu bar displays a plug instead of a bolt and I have no option to...
Hi.
I have a new 16' M1 Pro which was amazing under 12.2. When I upgraded to 12.2.1 a week ago, the battery life got significantly worse. It is now going down at 2x the speed. I tried to see if I could downgrade back to 12.2, but it requires using time machine to back up files first and then...
I've had my 16" Macbook Pro M1 Max for about two months now and just started using an external monitor that connects via USB-C and also charges while connected. Prior to using the external monitor, I would just use the Macbook without the charger until it's about to die. But now that I'm...
My 2020 MacBook Pro is no longer charging.
Today I was video editing, battery was low. I plugged it in, charged for 30min then it stopped charging. Yes, I have tried all USB ports and different wall sockets in the house. All other gadgets and electronics work fine.

On Apple’s website, it says “If your iPhone is covered by warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law, we'll replace your battery at no charge.”. However, in their legal page, it says batteries are not covered under warranty.
I have heard of people getting free replacements if the battery health is...
I have been using my new MacBook M1 Pro 14 for more than 2 weeks now and I've set optimised charging for my battery but my laptop keeps charging past 80%
I thought that my MacBook will learn from my schedule and not charge past 80% after a while... but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Just a question for those who already replaced the battery of your rmbp.
Recently replaced mine with one from OWC (newertech).
I took a look at the istats menus and the battery sensor 1 and 2 are showing constant values since then.

Found someone selling a iPad Air Gen 3 iPad on FB Marketplace. He tells me the device is unopened and still sealed and pictures provided seem to be true to this end. He is asking only $350, which seems reasonable, however, I’m a bit leery due to potential battery issues.
As this device is going...
Hey folks. I just wanted to share my experience getting my wife’s Apple Watch battery replaced from Apple.
With Apple either slowing down adding new features or just not being able to add many new features like new sensors, its never been a better time to keep your watches longer.
My wife’s...
Hi, I have this 2020 MacBook Pro i5 and often when I try to turn it on, the battery is completely drained. Powernap is turned off. I fully charged it while using it, unplugged it and closed the lid a few minutes later. Now this morning I wanted to start working but it wouldn't turn on. I...
