Takes long to start up again on power after batteries runs out?

[noon11111]

So I noticed that whenever my Macbook Pro 14 battery dies and I need to plug it in, it takes seemingly a lot longer to get it to start up again even though it is on power. I'd say it takes at least 1 minute of being charged before it can actually boot up. It just keeps showing the battery with the lightning bolt symbol every time I try to get it back on.

I don't remember this happening with my Intel Macbook Pro. Usually it was quick to start up again right after I plugged in the power. This one seems more like an iPhone that has been sitting dead for a while and needs to get some minimum level of base charge rather than just getting constant power from the plug.

Is there any way to improve this? Maybe get it to go to sleep at 1% instead of 0% so that I can more quickly boot back up when it goes to sleep?

If you want to keep your battery healthy, you really should avoid running to 0. You should plug in when you get the low battery warning if at all possible.

I very seldom run to completely dead, but it’s happened a few times over the years with various MacBooks. What you’re describing sounds normal to me. When you plug the Mac in, after a short time you’ll get the Battery icon on screen - then after a minute or two, you can turn on the power.

That's should normal on most laptops! The batteries are AGM and if run dead take a long time to take power enough to power the computer up! I would wait at least 15 minutes while plugged in from dead before powering up!

The batteries are AGM

No laptop uses an AGM battery. AGM is a lead-acid battery technology.
