    Macbook Air M1 base battery drain Big Sur 11.2.2

    Hey all. In about an hour, I have gone from 100% to 70% on my MB Air M1 Big Sur 11.2.2. The only thing open is Google Chrome. I haven't used anything else, and my screen brightness is at half way. To be honest, its been like this since I received it a month or so ago. Are there any tricks...

    Just a word of warning about cheap aftermarket batteries...

    We got this 2012 13" MBP that had a tired battery (unsurprisingly) so we replaced it exactly a year ago with a battery from amazon. Been working fine. The laptop was closed with charger plugged in for a couple of weeks. My business partner wanted to use it and when he opens it, he saw the touch...

    UK: Best place to buy replacement battery

    I'm in the UK. That's important because I can't order from the US because of laws around shipping batteries. I need a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15in mid-2015 2.8GHz. I've tried several brands and they've been appalling – ranging from dropping to 80% of design capacity within days, or not...

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?

    Battery Capacity Design is very different from Full Charge Capacity

    Hello everyone, I bought a battery for my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and made the change yesterday (I have already done the steps of the SMC and PRAM). At first, the battery was in "normal" condition and everything was fine. After a cycle, the battery had the status "Service...

    MacBook Pro battery dent

    Hello, I am probably a little paranoid about this but I noticed a tiny dent in my 2015 13" MBP while washing it. I need to know if this could potentially be a problem/dangerous. Thanks!

    X on battery icon - Replaced battery, charger, and Magsafe DC-in board already (13" MacBook Pro Late 2011 A1278) - Please help!

    Hi! A couple of weeks ago, my MacBook Pro (13" Late 2011) started to display a X symbol on the battery icon, and the light on my charging cable would only show up as green (never orange). Whenever I unplugged the charging cable, the computer would shut down soon after, indicating that it...

    What's your charging schedule for your MacBook Pro M1?

    I have a new MacBook Pro M1, and I adore the battery - it's leap years ahead of coming from my MacBook Pro mid-2012 non-retina which lasted a push of 4 - 5 hours. I know battery technology has evolved, but how do you guys charge your MacBook Pro for the most optimum way of retaining the...

    How long did it take for optimised battery charging to activate?

    From what I've read it's taken up to a few weeks for the OS to learn one's charging routines and limit the battery to 80% whilst charging. Am curious as to how long it took your M1 to start that behaviour, and what your charging patterns were like.

    MacBook air shuts down abruptly while using directly with a charger, is it because I am not using battery backup?

    bought a MacBook air in 2018. After a few months, the battery stopped working and I started using it directly with a charger without any battery backup. Sometime later the device started to shut down randomly even when plugged in and especially when using software like Photoshop. I am anyway...

    MBP 16" Battery drain 100%-0% overnight without use

    My Macbook Pro 16" battery has been draining completely overnight for couple of days now.
