Poor MacBook Battery Life

Hi,
I've owned my 13" Retina display for about a month. The most usage I get out of a full charge is 3 hours (keyboard lights off, screen dimmed a bit). All I'm using it for is reading articles and writing text/emails. No Photoshop or other big problems.
Meanwhile my friend can run his from 9am to 4pm daily without recharging.
This is really disappointing. The first powerbook I purchased I had to replace because it kept freezing. Now this.
Is there a solution?
Cheers.

futureperfect,
you’re still in your 90-day gratis Apple telephone support period — make use of it. Call Apple, get their recommendations (even if it’s “your battery is defective, bring back your MacBook Pro for a replacement unit”), try them out, and report back in your reply what worked for you, so that others can benefit from your experience.

Poor 4S battery life while using apps

Most of the posts I've been following about cruddy iOS5 battery life seem to revolve around when the phone is in standby. I seem to have that mostly addressed on my phone. So my big complaint is how poor the battery life is while I'm actually using the phone. I'm coming from the 4, whose battery life wasn't really stellar, but this is by far worse.
I know they dropped the estimated battery life on WiFi from 10 hours to 9, but what I'm experiencing is worse than that. I played 10 minutes of a non-intensive game yesterday (one that wouldn't have a large battery impact on my 4), and in those 10 minutes, the battery life dropped from 75% to 69%.
As of right now (12:31), my battery life is at 22%, down from 76% at 6:30 this morning. With my 4, I would have been in the mid 50s, and I've done nothing differently than I would have a week ago. Checked my mail, read a couple of static pages in Safari, messed with the Settings a little, checked my calendar and reminders a couple of times--nothing intesive. No games, no map. I did browse the App Store for about five minutes, but... This is all standard usage sorta stuff that never would have drained half the battery life with my 4. My "usage" even shows that the phone has been inactivate for 3 out of those 6 hours.
Any suggestions on this? My standby life, while not fantastic, isn't horrific, so I think I've effectively tweaked a lot of the tweakable things (like location stuff, diagnostics, etc). But is there something I could be missing? I have the screen on auto-brightness with the slider set to just below the "gh" in "Brightness." That's where I kept it on my 4, too.
I thought I read the new battery was actually better, but this is definitely not an improvement

I have the same problem! Mine does last for about 3 - 4 hours, but that is about it! Any suggestions?

Macbook battery life on yosemite

Hi,
I updated my macbook air to yosemite and battery life has reduced. I just use word and safari for my work. No special softwares. Can anyone tell me the solution to this?
Thanks

So here is an update: I've followed the article posted by OGELTHORPE (Thank you!). What I actually did is 1. Reset the SMC and 2. Reset the PRAM (MacBook Air SMC and PRAM reset).
What I've seen so far: Once I did the reset, I would guess that the system needed to re-calcualte again the battery charge. Initially after I disconnected from power, it started with a measurement from under 3:30h. After 45 minutes running on battery it is showing again 8:45h remaining @ 93% charge. What I noticed is that every time I put the laptop to sleep this repeats - starting with some low time measurement and slowly climbing. I think that this could be a bug in the software and the battery charge calculation method is somehow not working properly. I wonder after those resets if the OS needs to get into a couple of battery charge cycles and the battery is calibrated again?
I don't recall having this issue with the last year's release of Mavericks.
I hope someone from Apple sees this and address this with the next OS X update.

Average Macbook Battery Life

I'm thinking about buying a 13-inch 2.13 GHz Macbook with a 4gb RAM upgrade. I was told that the average battery life of a Macbook is 5 hours. Is this about right?

Every manufacturer estimates battery life under conditions that almost no one would actually fine usable. My older BlackBook (with a newish battery) gets 3 to 3.5 hours without my trying at all hard. By making sure that all my applications are already running, turning off BlueTooth and WiFi, and turning down the backlight to the bare minimum, and saving files infrequently I can get just over 4 hours. I've never gotten close to 5.

Can MacBook battery life be as longer as MacBookPro

Hello
I had watched the new add about MacBookPro' s battery life and thought if I could use my MacBook up to 8 hours and if I could charge my MacBook up to 1000 times, which is also extremely a big number for charging cycles, it would be really great for my education. During some long meetings or presentations (like Apple Keynotes) I need some charging equipment and sometimes the electrical sysytem of the meeting rooms don't let me to recharge my MacBooks battery. So my question is "Can a kind of powerfull battery, like MacBookPro's, seperately sold for also other Apple remote products?"

Nope not available for anything except the 17" MBP.
If you want to maximize your battery life turn off bluetooth, IR in the security prefs unless you are using a remote device, wifi, and turn down your brightness a bit. Also make sure you are calibrating your battery to keep it in shape every 2-3 months. by charging to full and letting it charge for two more hours, letting it drain all the way, and then letting it sit discharged for at least 5 hours. Last, charge it fully.

Terrible Macbook battery life

Good morning all,
I recently purchased a MacBook (a thing of beauty) but seem to be having problems calibrating the battery. I have tried many times and can only seem to get about 1:30 out of it. I thought the battery was faulty so took it back to the Apple Store.... they replaced the entire computer. But this one seems to be the same.
To confirm:
Let the battery run flat ('till the computer goes to sleep)
Charge fully (not using the computer during this part of the process)
Run for at least two hours while plugged in (have been using it at this time)
Then run on batteries untill it goes to sleep
Leave alone for a least 5 hours
Fully recharge
I have the computer set to "normal" for battery use.
Any thoughts?
Joe

This step is not in the instructions nor is it needed with lithium ion batteries. Just let it charge fully for two hours. If the battery is not at 100% and not charging just let the MacBook run on battery until it drops below 93% and then let it charge.

You can use the computer while doing this. It will not hurt anything.
Run for at least two hours while plugged in (have been using it at this time)
Then run on batteries untill it goes to sleep

Once the charge cycle starts you can use the computer as long as it is plugged in. Do not unplug until it is fully charged or you will interrupt the charge cycle.
The life of the battery depends on all the things you have turned on and what you are doing. Watching movings and having bluetooth and airport running will affect battery life. Turn off anything your not using and see if that helps. One and a half hours does seem a tad short mine usually last at least two hours and that is pretty mach having everything running.

Incredible macbook battery life

After accidently removing the magsafe (glad this was invented) I had a incredible battery life of 61h and 57 min. This was at least shown to me for about half a minute, in which I have seemed to consume so much power, that only hardly 4h were left, afterwards. ; ) Have a look yourself!
I edited the photo with imagetricks, to cover Adium and to enlight the point I'm posting about.
Powerbook G4, 20" iMac G5 soon MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, it does sometimes take a moment for it recalibrate itself. I've seen that happen on my Powerbook before, though it thought it had 9 hours left for a moment.

Poor ipod battery life

My ipod touch 5th gen gets terrible battery life, even with brightness all the way down, and the do not disturb and airplane mode and wifi on, please help

How long does a full charge do after charging for four hours?
What is the iuPoid donig during that time?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Another thread: Poor iphone5 battery life.

Hi,
Wondered if anyone had any similar experience and if they could fix it without a replacement phone:
10 days old iphone5 16G.
Initial Battery life with very light use: 22h.
Reconfigured: Turned pretty much everything off apart from 15min fetch email: 36h
Reset: No improvement.
Restore as new: 48h with ony 2x 30 secs calls so mainly standby only.
Any suggestions guys?
Thanks
John

Update:
Post Restore as new: Did NOT restore from backup. Then did deep discharge. Now battery life is in excess of 54h with full pretty heavy use. (although crazy location and icloud stuff turned off).
Really happy. Great practical real-world phone. I guess it is a software issue post 6.0.2 update.
Just goes to show; listen to the support guys and do what they say *exactly*. Dont skip any steps or add anything to what they say and all will be well. I was skeptical but now converted. Respect.
Good luck to anyone with this issue.
Cheers
John

Macbook battery life, is there a problem If I keep it plugged almost all the time?

Hello.
New Mac user here, so I was wondering if there's a problem if I keep my MBP plugged all the time.
Most of the time I'm on my room using my MBP fully charged and I don't disconnect it.
Is there a problem with my batter life if I do that?
Or it's recommended to unplug and use it till the battery run off and then charge it again?
Because I work a lot on my MBP and that way in a simple day I could charge it and run uff the energy of the battery 2 to 3 times at day.
What's better for the life of my battery?
And if you could give me some advices to maintenance my battery and Macbook pro (also programs) I would appreciate it.
I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
With OS X 10.9
Thanks

No. I do that most of the time. Perhaps monthly I discharge it to the 40% level to keep the battery happy. Do not discharge the battery completely. If you are forced to use only battery power and you see the battery is low warning terminate your session or plug into AC if you can.
Here are Apple articles with official battery usage guidelines:

Battery life suddenly cut in half

just yesterday, during my first class, i noticed that i only had about 2 hours left on my battery-- this was just about 15 minutes after unplugging my fully charged macbook. the same thing happened today...i don't know what's going on, i used to get around 4 hours with it. i haven't changed any habits-- i dim the screen as much as possible, etc.
i'm calibrating the battery right now...will that work or is something else wrong?

Hi,
Macbook battery life arouse lot of feedback. My experience is after re-calibration the total capcity of battery losts at least 100mAh. But if just connect to internet via airport, still I can manage to use it with over 3hrs. But when I run photoshops or bigger size file, the time shown on menu bar dropped tremendously to 1:50hr somethg from 3:03hr. But this battery seems to last quite good at last few %. My experiences on powerbook G4 1G, with 1.25G DDR ram, when battery drops to 10% or 10 minutes, the Powerbook will go to sleep soon. But for Macbook, when the indicator shows 0:09 hr remained, if using for internet it can still last for more than 15minutes. I also asked Apple HK technician about the battery drop problem, they said this is just rough estimation, sometimes not accurate, and it is normal that battery sometimes can't charged back 100% full unless after recalibration. If ur cases after full charge, check if ur battery is 100% or below 90% uisng coconut, Apple said if under warranty the battery drop below 90% for full charge, u can replace the battery in Apple repair center. This is the case in HK , I am not sure the practise in ur country.

Battery life drained while using itunes

My macbook battery life is being drained while using itunes. I have checked the activity monitor and the CPU usage is up to 14-16 while on most macbooks, its at an average of 4 or 5. I've updated the software and even tried going back to the original software it came with. What's the best solution for this issue?

Poor battery life and high temperatures on MacBook Pro Retina 15"

I'm having never-ending problems with poor battery life and high temperatures on a MacBook Pro Retina 15"
I took it in for service and they told me it needed a new logic board and replaced it. When I asked why they were vague about the reasons, they said "it just needed one, it failed some test". I now have the computer back and it runs the same way it always did. I bought this laptop because it was supposedly capable of high end video editing in 1080P (or so Apple's website claims) and also photo editing.
"The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory, and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to nine streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15-inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit four streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.4"
However, when I'm just browsing the web and emailing it runs quite warm and battery life is quite poor. Sometimes doing those same activities I would say it gets so warm it's almost uncomfortable to have on your lap and the fans are running fast enough to become noticably noisy. I'm also driving only one screen at and a time and I heard that the MacBook Pro can supposedly do three screens.
If actually try to do something like video editing with final cut pro the laptop gets really hot, the fans are on full blast and battery life drops to only an hour or two. I think when I rendered just a 3 or 4 minute clip once I got less than hour of battery life. I will have to time again.
Anyway most people (including the sales guys) are telling me no way this is not normal. When I play with demos in the store browsing the web they are not getting warm or hot to the touch. My friend's 2013 MacBook Air is also NOT getting warm to the touch doing the same activities.
I installed iStat Pro so I could check the temperature and fan speeds. I'm seeing temperatures of 70+ on the GPU, 85+ on the GPU diode and 65+ on the CPU heatsink along with elvated fan speeds above 5K which becomes noticeably noisy. I understand that might be normal for the most processor intensive tasks but it really doesn't seem right for just light web browsing and e-mailing. (I also may have viber and skype open but that shouldn't matter). CPU usage is usually running between 2-10% as this is all happening to.
Furthermore, straight from the specs:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
I am assume "GPU" and "GPU diode" are temp measurements on the discrenete NVIDIA video card, especially since MacBook Airs from the same and newer generatio do not have this reading. Since Apple Claims the graphics "automatically switches" it seems all the harder to believe the GPU is reaching 85+ when in theory it shouldn't even be activated. I mean, shouldn't the INtel HD Graphics 4000 be capable of simple web browsing and e-mailing? Especially with only one screen activated (be it it the internal or an external)?
What should I do here? When I asked the repair guys "OK well what is the normal operating temp range for the various sensors" they said "Sorry Apple doesn't provide that info".

Yes I have.
Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink. I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing. Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
I don't know what to do. They already replaced the logic board. Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

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!

Macbook pro late 2013 poor battery life

I bought my 2.3 Ghz 16 Ram Late 2013 Retina Macbook pro about a week ag, i’ve been using the computer normally,web browsing watching movies... and I never get more than 3 and a half hours of battery life from it.
Is there a problem with a series of the computers?
should i bring it to the apple store to see if something is wrong?
I was expecting good battery life maybe not the 8h told by Apple but at least 5 or 6!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
