My MacBook Air's battery health is decreasing.

My Macbook Air's battery health is decreasing. I bought it around a year ago. Now it's battery health is 85%. However, it keeps changing. From 85% to 88% and sometimes it hit 90%. Is my macbook's battery healthy? And is it normal, because I bought it a year ago.
Here are my battery's properties:
Cycles     ; 404
Health     : 85%
Design Capacity: 6700 mAh
Current Capacity: 5703 mAh

i have to disagree with linc davis's reply.
system profiler, or what they call the system report will have your current battery health status. in power the system profiler will either display "excellent", "normal" or "check battery" the more charge cycles you have, (404 which you stated) the more the battery will loose some capacity. this is normal of lithium ion batteries
health 85 % is current capactiy (fully charged)  divided by design capacity * 100 or
5703 / 6700 *100 = 85%
my mac book air, having it for a year states
cycle count 163
Condition : Normal
Charge remaining 4223
full charge capacity 4263
but system profiler, at least on my mac book air running osx 10.8.2 does not list design capacity. so i am wondering where you got that number. the mac book air i have is the mid 2011 11" model
if you feel after 400 cycles your battery diminished and you have apple care you can always ask them to replace the battery, but if you did not get apple care, then the year warranty would be up. a new mac book air battery outside of apple care or any warranties is $129 before tax at the apple store.
eventually the more cycles you have ( a cycle is being fully charged from being nearly discharged ) the more you are going to have to replace the battery. whenever you feel you are not getting the charge you used to get the discision to repalce that battery is your choice, but eventually you will have to replace it.
for example say the battery used to give you 3 hours amd now it only gives you 30 minutes, then yeah replace the battery. but if the time lost in capacity doesn't bother you that much, then don't replace the battery now

  • Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

    Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?  I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

    For global alerts, yes:
    There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
    I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

  • MacBook Air 2014 battery drain OSX 10.9.5

    Health Information:
      Cycle Count: 62
    Seeing the sudden battery drain after the upgrade to 10.9.5, any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi pandu9,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the battery runtime on your MacBook Air is unexpectedly low, start with these troubleshooting tips:
    Built-In Diagnostic Tools
    A great place to start when troubleshooting battery issues is the built-in diagnostics that are available on your Mac notebook. Review the following articles for more information on using diagnostics.
    Using Apple Diagnostics
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    Note: The additional troubleshooting recommended below assumes you have run the above diagnostic appropriate for your computer and that no issues were found.
    My battery runtime is low
    Identify what the battery life should be for the product you are troubleshooting.
    The Tech Specs site provides Apple's battery life expectations for battery usage. The specifics for wireless web usage and standby time are included in the Tech Specs article for each product.
    There are several common causes battery drain that you can minimize.
    Take steps to optimize your battery life per the Optimizing Battery Life section earlier in this article.
    A common cause of decreased battery life is a "runaway process." Make sure to check Activity Monitor for any runaway processes, especially after installing software updates or a new operating system. Installing updates is important to ensure optimal performance for all applications.
    If you are still having battery runtime issues after optimizing your computer's performance and checking for runaway processes, test in Safe Mode. Safe Mode limits the active items on the system and allows testing in a more minimal environment. If the battery life is better in Safe Mode, you may need to do further software isolation for the items disabled by Safe Mode to determine what the power draw is while not operating in Safe Mode.

  • MacBook Air 2013 battery drains quickly while in sleep mode

    I just purchased a 13" mid-2013 MacBook Air this week, and so far everything is working well - a remarkable improvement over my 2007 MacBook! But, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain very quickly while in sleep mode. For example, it drained 10% over five hours. I've turned off bluetooth and made sure that the PowerNap option is not selected under Energy Saver preferences. And the battery health/capacity seems to be good. Are there other things that I should turn off/check out? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even abnormal for the battery to drain at this rate while in sleep mode? Thank you!!

  • Macbook Air Poor Battery Life

    I have a mid-2012 Macbook air and I've noticed recently my battery life is horrible. I've read every single other thread about this issue but nothing really helped and even the most recent is from a couple of years ago. Obviously now it's 2015 and my macbook is running on Yosemite, so its not the battery issue that everyone seemed to have with Mavericks.
    Just writing that small section I went from 73% to 68% and at the current 68% I only get an estimated 2 hours and 10 minutes remaining. I've also had only Safari running this whole time.
    Option clicking the battery icon reveals that the condition is normal, as well as the power system report. It also has gone through only 441 cycles, no where near its 1000 cycle "limit" and its health is already down to 77%. While obviously the condition is normal and doesn't say I need to replace the battery I feel that I should, based off of everything else.

    Have macbook air from mid 2012 - I installed Yosemite November 2014 and since then I'm having problem with my battery - it has been draining super fast - 4hrs battery life now compared to earlier 8hrs.
    I reinstalled Yosemite, didn’t help and then made a clean reinstallation of Yosemite about  5 days ago and there is still the same drain issue.
    Thank you in advance!

    1. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
    2. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
    Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • MacBook Air 11" Battery Problem

    Just purchased the new MacBook Air 11" and only getting around 2 hours battery time as opposed to the 5 hours advertised.
    I've had it about 2 weeks now and thought the battery might increase over the coarse of time, my main concern is I've only being using Firefox for browsing so nothing too CPU intensive and had hope to do some photoshop work on it at some stage.
    Can anyone link me to any diagnostic tools to see if theres a problem with the machine. Activity monitor isn't showing anything unusual.

    http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html if you look at the bottom it notes the test was performed with just safari opened, and at 50% brightness. If you want similar battery life I would try setting the brightness lower; and make sure no other application is open. Also I would assume this test was done without flash installed.
    Having flash installed will negatively effect battery life. http://www.geekosystem.com/flash-decreases-air-battery/ "reviews of the MacBook Air over at Ars Technica indicate that having Flash installed can cut the battery life by a third"
    Apple actually posted a whole press statement why they chose not to include flash by default. http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

  • Mid-2013 Macbook Air drains battery at hibernate

    I recently got a new Macbook Air:
    MBA 13-inch, Mid 2013
    Processor  1.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E3067)
    The issue I'm running into is essentially that I close the lid (unplugged from power and anything else) and overnight the entire battery drains.  When looking into the system log, I noticed that the sleep seems to run OK but it's when it tries to hibernate that the issue comes up.  It looks to me like it tries to hibernate and runs into an error, tries again, run into an erro, tries again, etc.

    This all seems to loop until the battery drains completely.  Any Thoughts?

    I have the exact same problem. I just installed Mavericks three days ago and I'm having battery drain when the lid is closed.
    Does anybody have a solution for this problem ?

  • Macbook Air Terrible Battery Life

    There are a series of threads on these forums regarding the rare case where Macbook Airs get terrible battery life on Mavericks, and some of them have numerous posts telling you to make a new thread about your specific issue. Here's mine.
    The issues began when I did my initial Mavericks update. I had a series of really bad things happen, so I did a cmd+R reboot, and reinstalled the OS. It didn't help, so I scheduled a Genius appointment, and they wiped the drive and installed Mavericks clean.
    All of the issues are gone now, except for one: my computer gets less than half the life it did on Mountain Lion. I used to get 14-16 hours of battery life on Mountain Lion when nothing was running. I just charged it to 100% and had just 6 hours of estimated life.
    I've reset both the PRAM and the SMC, and neither helped. Might you have any further ideas on how to fix this?
    Note: I know that Google Chrome is less energy efficient than other browsers. With that said, I used to still get well over 10 hours at 98-100% battery life on Mountain Lion with Chrome open. My usage of Google Chrome is a constant in this equation; this issue can't be so easily dismissed as being an issue with Chrome, I think.
    Here's a screenshot showing a number of things (no apps being open, the poor battery life, and activity monitor)

  • Improving the 2013 Macbook Air i7 battery life

    Hi
    I've checked couple of topics related to this issue seems many people suffer from this problem, i7 8gb ram with 512gb ssd Macbook air has some issues with its battery life it reduced very quickly. I've applied some techniques -like smc reset,deleting launch daemons and agents- and have an improvement in battery performance. Now the point is, when i do the EtreCheck there are many kernel extensions displayed in the report. Is there any way to delete them and slightly improve the battery life?

    Is there any other suggestions that you may offer ? Many thanks

    You can use the new Activity Monitor to determine a unitless "Energy Impact" value:
    You can also click the battery icon in your Mac's menu to reveal significant energy hogs (UPS is shown below):
    Whereas Apple recently updated their apps to take advantage of Mavericks' energy saving algorithms, few other vendors have. I surmise the prominent "Energy Impact" hall of shame addition to the new Activity Monitor is Apple's subtle way of nudging them into compliance.
    Google's plethora of invasive OS X system modifications is a popular reason for excessive battery drain. Google has yet to demonstrate the ability to develop efficient OS X apps, and one can only surmise they are not interested in doing so. If you elect to use Google Chrome or any other poorly implemented OS X programs, you must accept the detrimental effect they will have on performance and battery life.
    If you no longer use a Blackberry, uninstall RIM's software. Be sure to follow its uninstallation instructions.

  • 2013 Macbook Air 13" battery life not as good as advertised

    At full charge, the estimated battery life read a little over 17 hours. At 97%, it now reads 15:39. Like I get this is vastly better than the older Macbook Air, but it still falls quite short of the 24 hours advertised on the website. Currently, it is still at 97% but now the estimated battery running time reads 14:59. Is this normal? I accidentally drained my battery twice since I bought it at the beginning of August, and I understand that's not good for the newer batteries - could this be the reason? My screen brightness is at 50% and I have no movies or music playing. Safari is the only ap I have open.
    I'd appreciate any ideas or help with this problem (that is, if it is one).
    I just looked at the estimated time again, and while it is still at 97%, the estimated remaining time is at 13:48. It's taken me a little over a minute to type this.
    I'm not very tech-savy - is there something wrong with the way I understood the advertised battery life?

    The Air is nowhere advertised for 24 hrs. batt. life.........  in any configuration.

  • New Macbook Pro 2012 Battery health.

    Hi all, hope you can give me some advice.
    I purchased a New Macbook Pro 13" (2012 model) 3 weeks ago. It has now had 11 charge cycles and the battery health has dropped to 86%. I have gone through the calibration process, reset smc/pram but sitll seems to be dropping.
    Is this normal, should i return it to apple and have the machine swapped, should i just leave it and if it gets worse get it repaired under apple care.
    Intrestingly, Battery health states the battery is 9.3 months old, from the serial number of the mac I understand that that mac was made in 3rd week of october, I just wonder if that battery has been stood arround semi-charged for 9 months and this has damaged it.
    Any help would be great, thanks
    Paul

    I would make an appointment at your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them test the battery. My battery 'life' is right on the manufacturing week of my computer. Something's up with the battery - since you're still under warranty have it checked out now.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • New MacBook Pro but Battery Health 97%?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro 13inch just last thursday and I came to notice in the iStat Pro Battery Info the Battery Health is 97%. Is this normal? Number of Cyles are 7.

    Be aware that "health" cn be "current charge" or "max possible charge".
    As Steve Ar said, both can vary a bit.
    My MBP (see attached image from Cononut Battery Monitor,
    This can be downloaded from macupdate.com)
    My MBP has been powered constantly for the last few day, but has dropped to 95%.  It does this to prevent the "constant use" of the recharge circuits, and will recharge itself to 100% when it drops below 95%.  Also the max charge is more than design, but will not stay at that max charge ... it will change a litlle even rising fromover 7000 mAh occasionally.
    To keep your battery healthy, do NOT run it dead.  That kills LithiumIon batteries.  You need to exercise those LithiumIons sometimes or they get fat and lazy.  Use the system on battery only at least once a month, down to 50% or 60% and then recharge.
    Also note that the life-limit of LI batteries is about 1000 cycles (each full charge is 1 cycle, 2 charges from 50% to 100% is 1 cycle, etc).  It can exceed that, but the closer yo get to 1000 to more likely it is to need replacing.

  • Macbook Air 2013 battery problem

    Hi all,
    I just got my brand new Macbook Air 2013 model today, I can't power it up until the AC Adapter is connected. When I finished all the setups, login into the system, I found out the  battery shows 0%. This is my first Mac, would like to know if this is normal. Cause from my experience with windows laptop, they all comes with pre-charged battery. Thank you very much for your assistance in advance.

    That's not normal, & if it doesn't begin to work as expected after say, 15 minutes, try
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    but it's likely that you have a faulty computer.
