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

    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...

    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.
