drain battery MacBook or normal?
I bought a macbook 12 "retina display earlier this year. I use it only once every three weeks or more. I usually load completely before I have unplug the unit and it is sitting for three weeks and when I turn it on it has lost about 30% of its power, according to the percentage at the top battery icon. Is it normal for a fully charged battery to sink down when not in use? (I ran a diagnostic test Apple and all removed). Useful tips on this are appreciated. Thank you-
I can't speak for your machine, but the MacBook Air 11 '' works with a lithium battery much smaller than, say a 13 "MacBook Pro. Losing 30% of the load over several weeks is in the normal range.
Useful tips? I think you're doing everything right. I guess you power off your machine before unplugging; I saythat as some users choose to sleep their machines rather than turn it off.

Yes, I suggest to make a back-up first and install the latest OS for your device (from your carrier). Once installation is complete give 1 or 2 days so that it can be fully synchronized.
Keep us informed.

Drain battery/CPU Safari on El Capitan? (2013 retina MacBook Pro)
Recently, I noticed my retina MB Pro 2013 has worked a bit warmer than usual, and when I check the process it seems as if web content safari uses a lot of CPU. Moreover, when I check the impact of energy, web content safari appears to use a large part (99 +). It's even when I'm on simple Web pages, such as this one or google homepage. I tried to delete the caches and reset PRAM and SMC, nothing helps. This results in significantly reduced battery life and life while they inspected the power in the information system, much of the energy consumption (values of my to--1500 to 2000). The Estimator gives me an estimate of less than 4 hours when fully charged, when I'd get easily 7-8 before what is going on has begun. I noticed that when I boot on a guest account, resource consumption does not seem to be messed up like this and Firefox power impact seems to be normal. Any ideas?

The fan works like a crazy and super fast drain battery after installation of Sierra
I installed Sierra on my MacBook Pro, the fan works like crazy and the battery is empty after about 1.5 hours. Which never happened before. I'm only using Safari and Mail in the moment. I talked to Apple Support and they suggested to reset the SMC, but this brought no improvements. What can I do else? Again, I plan to install the El captain...
I had this problem just after I installed Sierra on my MacBook Air. First I tried to reset the SMC and the LANDAU. This does not prevent fans constantly in the course of execution. I then used the activity monitor to see what was possibly strain my system. I noticed the "DCs" process was always sucking up to more than 90% of my CPU usage. However, others said that it is normal after an upgrade of the OS and it should fall back down once the computer finishes its initial picture and analysis of the files. So I run my MBA plugged nonstop for 36 hours in a row and the fans just kept running so that the process of "DCs" continued to drain at > 90% of CPU usage. I also looked carefully at the activity monitor and saw that tasks such as analysis of photos had their own separate process "DCs". So I dug further into what the devil "DCs" was really do with a lot of CPU resources. Long story short, I found that there is some glitch in Sierra which causes the macOS stuck on a process involving the keychain and iCloud.
That's what I did to fix this keychain/iCloud which led to "DCs" fans of triggering and overloading the CPU to be always on:
-In the activity monitor, I used Force Quit to kill the process that involved the keychain
-In the activity monitor, I then Force Quit the process that involved icloud
-In activity monitor, I finally Force closed the process "DCs". (I found that I could not simply force quit 'DCs' without first allowing the keychain & iCloud first)
-After all, I restarted the computer and fans were finally off the coast! I open the activity monitor and saw that 'DCs' has is no longer hogging up the CPU usage. Photoanalysis process were still running in the background at 40-50% CPU use with no trigger unwanted system fans. the iCloud synchronization and my keychain also worked very well.
I'm finally able to use Sierra without my fans blazing out of control. It took me a while to get this sorted out. Hope this helps to save you a few headaches and time until Apple can get counts that there is this Sierra software glitch they need to address.

iOS 9.3.5 drained battery
I've updated the 4S of my wife and my own SE for this latest version. The next morning, the two phones have completely drain the battery.
Is this related?
Both phones are very little used. My wife phone normally last 3 days & my SE 5-6 days. Both had about 70% charge when updated.
If this battery drain continues I'm back out the update.
I have the same problem on my self. I've updated, went to sleep and the next morning, it was completely empty. Now, I have it on battery saving mode, and he would still (in 4 hours, I do not use it at all, and none of the applications are run background for sure) from 100% to 49%. Once in a while it is still warm. I can not use it even now as the battery drains within a few hours on the stand, cannot even imagine what happens if I use it. It's crazy and frustrating!

Hello! The battery is old and has almost reached 1000 charge cycles, which means that it may soon become useless.
I have seen many users asking link to OWC here on the forum and I have seen a lot of positive feedback on this manufacturer, so if you plan to replace the battery, you should consider the OWC part in option.

Apps can affect the performance of Mac, battery, temperature and fan activity
Do not leave the battery to fall below 10 percent, or you may not be able to recharge the battery once it falls to 0%. Never leave the computer on the charger. You need to use the battery from time to time in order to keep the electrons flowing and maintain a normal life.

Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.
Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan acti... See also:
Before Mavericks
Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder. Select all processes in the drop process . Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order. If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar. Click the force quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later versions
Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder. Select all processes in the menu display . Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.

Update iOS 9.2.1 drains battery of 6, with
Want to know how quickly Apple will release a fix for the problem of drainage of battery with the ios 9.2.1 update. Since the update my phone today, my battery drains very quickly. I can't sit and watch my percentage decline. Normally, I can spend 2 days on a full charge.
It is not something about the iOS 9.2.1 update that is causing the drain, and I don't expect Apple to come out with a fix. The problem is with your device. Go to settings > farm > check what uses the highest percentage of your battery. From there, you can solve the problem. Generally, on phones then updates will happen, and you can see hundreds of posts across all iOS updates by saying that the update has caused, when it is not. The user troubleshooting steps include a reboot, restore, restore from backup, restore to factory. Most of the time, it is a process that got stuck to the attempt to run. It may be a push, Exchange e-mail account or another process. This must be released, and most of the time, once you learn that uses most battery on the device, you can move from there. Go through the troubleshooting steps and test after each of them. I have an iPhone 5 s, a 6, a 6, a 6s more and 3 Mini iPad, all currently running iOS 9.2.1 and they aren't bad. You will be able to solve the problems there.

Go to bed before exhausted battery MacBook Pro retina (mid-2012)
I hope that someone in the community can help with this question.
I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with a battery 3.2 old Yes and less than 300 cycles. I think the battery is depleting faster (which is natural after 3.2 years) but benchmarking between percentage left and the unit goes into mode 'sleep' is meaningless. For example, tonight the battery came into sleep mode with 16% left on the screen - sound almost if the MacBook thought it was exhausted. I have heard do NOT need calibration for that MacBook Pro, but it feels like it does. Which leaves me feeling very concerned on what continues.
Things I've tried so far:
1. full reset SMC and General reboots.
2. a full discharge and recharge (attempted calibration despite says that's not necessary).
3 using the activity monitor to see if something is sucking energy unduly. (Which there isn't, and everything seems normal).
4 using the battery health app to look at the State of the battery - said its 87% in good health and no calls for service or replacement. ('Normal' status).
Anything related or apparently wrong - but certainly go faster down and switch mode 'sleep' around 16 to 19%.
All the words of wisdom of the community?
Thanks in advance.
Brad.
A full release just the risk damage to your battery. Are you sure that the Mac is not just go to sleep as it was designed to do? Try to reset your default energy-saving preferences. If that does not resolve the problem, maybe it's a problem with the operating system, in which case you should try to reinstall OS X by pressing down the command key and the R key as soon as you see the Apple logo at the start of your computer to the top and then clicking "reinstall Mac OS X" and following the on-screen instructions.
I hope you find this information useful.
Best regards

Extend the life of battery MacBook Pro 15 "(Mi-2014) &; overall health"
Good day people.
Yesterday, I bought a used MBP. Data sheet:
Model name: MacBook Pro
Model identifier: MacBookPro11, 2
Processor name: Intel Core i7
Processor speed: 2.2 GHz
Number of processors: 1
Total number of Cores: 4
(By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Cycles: 130
Other than a few scrapes and scratches here and there of General wear, the machine seems to be in fantastic condition and beyond, after recovering pretty well my old exact configuration via Time Machine, is a blisteringly fast on my MBP improvement mid-2009 Core 2 Duo.
Now I want some tips to make sure that this machine takes me six years (wishful thinking? Eh_bien made a last, but its GPU is running out...), so the questions:
(1) leave the unit plugged in and on costs all night?
(2) drain all the way down and then recharge it fully? I have been informed by a trusted friend that it is a good idea to keep more than 20% battery charge if and when at all possible.
(3) let him fall asleep on his own, or put it to sleep manually? I prefer the latter, at this point.
(4) I use a USB Bluetooth receiver mouse + keyboard, and on top of that eternal display connected via Thunderbolt (can use HDMI also, at this point, still enough old VGA-> Firebolt adapter); should I disconnect these when the machine is put to sleep? It seems they attract a fair amount of power (I did a test last night to see how long the machine hard on battery when it is connected to these; do now, and it's going strong).
I'll probly have some questions based on the answers to the above, but thanks in advance for any thoughts/input.
More precisely:
1. the batteries cannot overload due to the protection circuits.
2. do not drain so dead it can be avoided.
3. the more he does not sleep because of the long 'wait till sleep' over the screen is used. Except that no difference in my opinion.
4. all attached components will require some even if inactive power monitoring. Your just tire test power unnecessarily in my opinion.
