This time, he said "04:46. The laptop lasted all day school, but I had to have only the minimum of apps open and the brightness of the screen on 3. Anyone know why?

• Mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15 has Horrible battery life

  I have a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2015 is the basic model, 2.2 Ghz and 256 with no graphics other than the Pro of the Iris.  I got it for about 3 months and I take off the power once a weekish and use it around the House.  Whole reason I decided to go Apple was because I wanted to the battery life that windows machines cannot offer with that kind of power.

  I must have got a spleen or something because my battery life is bad.  I lance 50% screen and backlight OFF and do nothing to keep open.  My Dock has nothing open except for the mail to notify me and my browser if I use it (98% of the time).  The battery life is maximum of 4-5 hours to do this constantly, the only time where I got was more a road trip where I turned the backlight and display off and using only iTunes to listen to music through my headphones via bluetooth, it provided for 20 + hours this day here.  Just get here for the last minutes went from 38 to 19 percent more than 31 minutes of battery time.  I know a decent amount about computers and I am a saver of energy mass unless I'm hip, low light, no backlight, no program didn't open that I do not use etc and yet I get a ridiculous autonomy.

  What should I do? Any suggestions? I read somewhere on the power off and then when you power back up hold down Option + command + R to put something else inside the machine.

  My battery life is normal for what I described?  It of not like I'm that fool who knows nothing about computers and leaves open pages, mail, messages, itunes, Skype and browser just because I can.  I leave nothing open (so no programs on the platform were the 'point' under them), erasing everything that isn't necessary VIA activity monitor, such things as creative cloud.  I'm just puzzled.  I must have got a dud.  Please help and advise me on what I should / test.

  Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, but it's not just because of El Capitan, this has been like that since Yosemite when I bought first.

  Thank you

  Your computer is still under warranty, so do the logical thing: make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store. Don't forget that you have free phone service for 90 days after purchase.

• Why battery life decreases significantly when I use Safari?

  I upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.5. on my Macbook air early 2014.  Just when you open Safari, it is listed as using the significant energy and the battery life decreases by several hours.

  I have no software extensions or third running.  I didn't have bugs or other problems since the installation of El Capitan, just this matter of battery life.

  If anyone has any recommendations on how to investigate this, I would be very grateful.  Thank you.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

  ~/Library/Safari

  A right click or Ctrl-click on the line and select

  Services ▹ Open

  the contextual menu.* should open a folder named "Safari". Quit Safari runs. One or more files in the open file must have a name begins as follows:

  History.DB - wal

  Move these files and only those who, in the trash, leaving the window open. Restart the application and test. If there is no change, stop again and place all other files with a name starting in 'History' of the Safari folder to the trash. The browser history will be empty. If possible, restore the file named "History.db" from an earlier backup problem.

  * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

• Battery life has decreased

  I have a Macbook Pro Retina Display, which has been bought only mid-2014. The life of the battery to 100% used, i.e. about 10 hours if not more in the last two days, it dropped up to 7 hours or less.

  Before that, I would take my computer to school with 100% and return at least 50% to go and now I can barely make it through the school day! Only, I use Word, Safari, and most of the time Powerpoint and make sure that all my other apps are off to save battery and yet he still eats battery like crazy. It will say there are still 6 remaining hours and 40 minutes, it will go up to 4.5 hours! I have no games or large application running so I don't see why my battery life has decreased in this measure. The fault might be my charger? I always use my laptop came with that but there cuts everywhere and a few pieces of the wire is exposed.

  Please let me know what I can do to restore my batter life.

  You need to replace your charger, but it probably has nothing to do with your battery life - the 'intelligence' isn't in the battery charger. There are two basic reasons for the battery life decrease: 1) using more electricity or 2) your battery cannot hold as much power as it did when it was new.

  Discover #1 open the activity monitor and click the CPU tab. In the columns, he scored a % CPU which shows the percentage of cycles CPU used by a process. Click on the label and the list of processes are sorted to use above the lowest. Over the next few days keep an eye on her to monitor all the processes that seem to have and maintain a high percentage. My computer will be a process of spike up to 50-60% but down then down quickly. The only time where I see a sustained high CPU usage is when I do something like a large file for archiving or extraction of a CD.

  To check the #2, click the Apple menu and select about this Mac. Then click on the button tray . In the left pane, look for power. You will find information on your battery, including the number of cycles and the health of the battery. Under normal conditions of use of 18 to 24 months old computer should get close enough to use even on a charge like new - I expect maybe a loss of 30 to 40 minutes. But if you have a large number of cycles on the computer - say an average of 5 cycles per week for as long as you have owned the computer, the battery may be almost on time when it needs to be replaced. Battery life depends on several factors which can vary greatly from one person to the next.

• Sudden drop in the battery life

  Hello, I am a new owner of a Macbook Air.

  For the last couple months everything works fine and the battery on my laptop lasted for at least 10 hours, but last week, I noticed that the battery life is not as long. Now when the battery is fully charged, I have only 4 hours of power.

  I don't know why the change suddenly, since I did anything differently. Maybe I am doing something wrong without realizing. In any case, I would like to ask for some tips or ideas to help me solve this problem (if it can be resolved).

  I really appreciate your help!

• What is the battery life expected to a new stack in a Mac Book Pro?

  What is the battery life expected to a new stack in a Mac Book Pro?  I am running OS X El Capitan10.11.3

  I just had my battery replaced, and today, I looked at that and I got 7 1/2 hours on a charge.  This doesn't seem much.

  Apple announced 8-9 hours on the 15 "MacBook Pro 2010. This is an extremely optimistic number in light, ideal operating conditions.

  Your 7.5 hours is fine.

• Battery life

  Someone else has problems with how long does the battery last? I just bought mine yesterday and the battery life is very short. I am very disappointed. He had a full charge to 01:00 and I put it and when I woke up at 7:30, it was like 26%.

  Hello

  Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

  During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback.

  Other examples are available here:

• Is it true that only charge your iphone at 100% can shorten its battery life?

  Because some say it may decrease the battery life if you always or often recharge your iphone to 100%. They said that it is better not to load it 100%, and some have said it's ok to charge your phone to 100%.

  your phone/ipad/computer laptop/ipod is designed to be loaded until it reaches capacity. That's what it is designed by engineers. Then no. Tell the 'they' who says 'it is better do not reach' 04:20 occurs only twice a day and they have to keep it up to two times per day to book all the cells of the brain are left in hiding.
