I had the Macbook Pro 13” 2017 TB approximately since the release of the 2018 version, the battery was all good at the beginning.
Recently I realized the battery statred being drained very fast, so I did some kind of test.
I watched a 60 min mp4 1080p video on VLC and it drained 50% of the battery charge which was fully charged before I started the video.
I also checked the activity monitor for the average energy impact and the VLC was using 29.0 , I have no idea about those numbers.

I want to know if the problem is with me using VLC or it’s the hardware issue here ?
