    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. Another issue I've noticed is when waking the laptop from sleep a random key is pressed and I hear "funky" sound continuously. I'll have to restart the system everytime. I dont think it's a keyboard issue...

    Real Life Battery Consumption - M1 MacBooks

    Hello everyone, I decided to open this thread because I'm having battery issues myself with my new M1 MacBook Pro, and since I still cannot understand If the battery has some issues or it's just paranoia, I came to this conclusion: It would be good if people shared their battery life while...

    Big Sur = Dead MacBook Pro Battery

    Hey everyone—it seems that last week after upgrading my 2018 13" Touchbar MacBook Pro my battery failed. I wasn't even able to start the computer for 2 days because I would only get the red battery drained icon despite it being plugged in. It was so soon after the OS update that I was...

    MacBook Pro 15" (2018) on 185 charge cycles already down to 73% battery capacity and "Service recommended"

    Some background: this was a launch-day machine that I ordered right after the press release back in 2018, see screenshot for config details. My usage pattern is that this machine is plugged in 98% of the time, and then it is mostly plugged into an external display in clamshell mode. I run some...

    After the recent Big Sur update 11.1, my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2019 model is taking 6-7 hours to charge, before it would take hardly 2 and half hours. I have tried resetting the smc,pram etc. I tried charging in safe mode, used a different charger, plugged in different wall outlets and did...

    MBP M1 Battery Draining Faster than Expected

    Hi all, Haven't been active on MacRoumors for a very long time so I hope I am posting in the right place. I just bought a MBP M1 base model. Suffice to say that its battery is far superior to my older MBP 13" Early 2015 base model, which requires recharge after every 2-3 hours of normal usage...
