@@YourTechReport My browser is taking the significant energy. Pls help.
@@dynamicdesyr do you use brave?
@@SpidaStayFly yup.
@@dynamicdesyr Then I can relate dawg
A $2,000 dollar piece of hardware shouldn't have this kind of problem if you ask me
dude, this was the most helpful video i seen so far. my new macbook was losing battery like no joke. did those few steps and now i literally only loose like 2% overnight. big thanks man, very helpful video.
Thanks for this. I also experienced battery brain problems in my MacBook 12 (2015) after I upgraded to Molave. I followed your instructions and it fixed the problem somewhat. I'm still getting battery drain, but not as bad as I did before. I charged it to 100% last night (12 midnight), then opened my MacBook tonight (6 p.m.) and its down by 96% which is still acceptable compared to how bad the battery drain was before.
how did you upgrade?
Thanks for this. Much appreciated!
Wish I saw your video earlier. Managed to do all od that on my own. Apple online support couldn’t help me at all...
thank you brother!
Great tips! thank you!
I am sure that will be a night and day difference. I was having the same issues. battery drain when I closed the lid. Thanks for the tips
Thanx man!! Workes almost instantly.. went from 0% to 100% in like 5 mins, and holding.. new sub!!!
Oopps.. i guess i was already subbed 😅
Thank you! This video saved me hours of troubleshooting, that I’d never get back!
Thanks dude! Great tips, looking forward to much, much better battery life now X P
will resting the NV ramp and sMC screw with any audio midi settings etc ??
will both resetting the nvrm and smc set it to factory settings?
Thank you so much!! Your tips were a game changer!
Thanks...glad I could help you!!
Thank you so much. I have this problem. I will try your method and let you know :)
Great suggestions, thanks!
Thank you for your information.
good video. thanks ...will let you know how this works on my 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch 10th gen.
Step 2 SMC reset - fixed my old 2011 MacPro, thank you sir!
With my 2015 retina Macbook pro, these fixed an overheating problem I had- watching a youtube it used to run between 60C and 65C, and would idle at between 50C-55C. Now, it will idle between 25C and 30C, and watching a youtube video it will run between 30C and 40C. But the battery still drains a lot, a 15 minute youtube video brought me down from 99% to 90%, and shutting the lid overnight at 81% left me with 65% when I opened it the next day.
very helpful thank you
useful tips. thanks
Thanks for the video. My 17" Mac Pro (bought on 10/19 was working fine. I only use it to do minimal tasks in the evening. It had about 30% charge. I always put it on the charger when I turn in. I plugged the charger in and my Pro stated making a dinging sound approx every 3-5 sec. I unplugged the charger, no dinging. Plugged it back in, more dinging, and on the screen was a power cord, lighting bolt and i forget what the other icon was. I checked all plugs and charge ports on it. Cleaned them. Still dinged but then after about 5-10 minutes it stopped. This am, computer doesn't turn on - nothing charging. Now I can't reset the SMC. Any thoughts on this. Everything including the charger is practically brand new! Thanks for your review.
Many thanks 😎 it is helpful 😀
Great content love the video keep it up.
Thank you so so much!!!
I bought a new touch bar 2.4 Macbook Pro 2019 & I was having a big issue concerns the battery drains, but by following these steps & resetting the NVRAM and SMC "it's totally different now!"
I have the same laptop like you and battery drain so fast
Battery dies every night. Waste of money. Will try this now.
Thank you! I was sceptical, but it helped a lot! Charged it to 100% yesterday, put it to sleep, opened the lid now - still 100%. Before the battery used to be completely flat after a night
Same here. That’s why I HAD to share. Even the Apple Geniuses has no clue.
Just shut down ur mac
thanks i use mac sinds 2003 and i just learn this and it really works
You deserve everything great in life. I've been trying to fix my macbook for a year bcuz i couldn't afford the repair. Thanks bro
Glad I could help!
man my battery was gone in 2 seconds when i was doing something or i left it off until the morning but thanks to your help it last several hours know cheers bro :) it was like 2 hours remaining before i went to sleep but when i woke up the time remaining was exactly the same i did not put this on charge.
I actually got a Mac book pro 2011 used for 200 and 2 numbers of battery we’re going down in like 5 mins and I think this helped thanks alot
Thank you.
Your a genius bro thank you so much my laptop would never charge and always stayed at 0 percent now it charges super damn fast
Thank you for your video let’s see if it helps 👍🏽
Thanks a lot.
1:25 If I did that, I would somehow magically still have full battery when I show them (even tho 0% happens every othermorning)
Thank you so much
trying this, Hope it works and saves my battery life.
Thanks Mate!
My new mbp 16 space grey top of the range just stopped. Can’t charge it. It’s not a cable issue. Any tips? No apple store is open :(
Hi! Do you have a vlog about how to properly charge the macbook pro so battery wont hurt? like do i need to drain my battery before i plug in my charger? or at least 10% or 20% battery before i charge it? thanks!
I heard that any electronic device should be on low battery before plugging it in. You are fine to plug it in below 30% but I always wait until the low battery notification pops up before plugging it in.
Wow it is amazing it helps me I can’t code for 2 days because of this kind of problem
bruh i can't code for half a day without my mac running out of power
bruh i can't code for half a day without my mac running out of power
Hi there where can I find the link to reset nvram and the battery
Thank you so much! The battery on my MBP 13 used to fully drain over night. Now I got 90% after 48h of standby.
I bought the 2019 13 inch last month. I can charge it to 100% and it will still be on 100% when I open it the next day. When I'm using it, FaceTime drains the battery like crazy. I was on FaceTime with my girlfriend about a week and a half ago and unplugged it during our call when it was at 100%. I was maybe on that call for another hour or hour and a half after unplugging it and it was nearly on 30% when we hung up. When I'm just watching stuff or reading stuff, it'll drop 1% every few minutes. I checked the battery condition and it says it's normal. I got Apple care on the laptop so if I experience worse battery life than that, I am definitely getting it looked at. Other than the battery, I love the laptop though. Best laptop ever. Battery life definitely could be better but it's still a good laptop.
if you get a new Mac charger would it help or fix it?
good video man
its works thanks IT fixed my macbook to slower battery
Does this work for 2019 MacBook Pro
THANK YOU! I purchased a macbook pro 2016 which had just had the battery replaced. It was dying sooooo fast! When it would come off charge, it would die within 3 hours of use. Just from these tips its gone from 3 to 7-8 hours. And if i close the lid its not dead in the morning! Thanks again.
How did you do
Mine also giving 3hour but i do all things noting happening
In SystemPreferences, Energy Saver, I have a box for "Wake for wifi network access." Should that be checked or not?
I use Mac mini M1. Changed every settings as mentioned in this video. I still have Heat issues when mac mini is on sleep mode. Please advise.
Thank you sir for your video on Macbook Pro charging. I have an old and refurbished Macbook Pro that I bought on Amazon. It is a 13-inch Macbook Pro from about 2012 or 2013. Is it okay to buy the USB C electric charger to charge the laptop? Now the electric charger that came with it is not charging the laptop.
I tried the troubleshooting methods such as holding the Shift/Control/Option and so on, but all these efforts came to naught numerous times. Do I need to buy a connector that will enable the USB C charger to work on my old Macbook Pro which came without a USB C electric connector on it?
Nice)
Thanks)
I have a 2019 MacBook Air and I would be at 100%, close all apps then close the computer. By morning it would be dead. I tried his methods and they worked. 👍🏾
did you do the smc as well or just the ones before that?
Centaur Montano actually after a while it didn’t work anymore. So I talked to Apple for like a week and they acted like they never heard of this issue. Anyways I found out that if I turn of WiFi and Bluetooth before I sleep my computer, then the battery doesn’t really drain.
This has just started happening to me, only since I've installed Catalina (10.15), waited to upgrade OS for 6months, regretting it now. Seems to be when I operate in clamshell mode e.g. closed lid connected to external screens
Hi, shall I ask that why MacBook Pro stop charge battery when it shut down?
can this work with pro 2015 ?
just noticed this problem yesterday.... just done your first 2 steps (3rd was already done) thx! will let you know how this works for me...
So man what's yours feedback
@@nothingspecial9370 it worked! But then the problem came back after a few weeks,... Went back into the settings and the steps I did were undone?!?... Maybe the CPU did and update and reset it?... redid the steps and haven’t had a problem since!
@@heli400 my mac is giving me 5-6 hrs of battery backup and its 1 weak old
My macbook pro ratina display 2018 is connected with power but showing not connect. I tried with differnt adopters bjt same result. Please help
Can this work with MacBook Air
Will these steps work for my MacBook Pro 2017 (eBay refurbished)? My problem is still having a lot of battery, laptop randomly shuts down and shows no battery icon... But when I plug it back in it awakes to the same percentage I had. I tried a factory reset with no success. Thank you
Not sure which option worked but it worked. 😁
I charge my macbook pro for 5 hours already but when i check it, its not going to 100%, its Stick only at 99%. What should I do? Thank You
Hi there. Thx for the great video. I have the same problem. My Macbook 12 was working fine then i had it repaired. New keyboard, new top case, new battery and a new screen. Then i got it back and it looks awesome but i have this problem. I left it in my bag and in the morning it was empty from battery ??? I thought.. WHAT. You don't think its is a hardware problem. I have used the new battery for a week to make it workable. Maybe they didn't repair it right or they forgot to do something before they closed it all together. I think it is strange right after an almost 100% repair of new hardware then this happen. What do you think. And thx for all the nice work bro.
How to reset the SMC, PRAM and NVRAM on a MacBook Pro Touch Bar 2018...does this work for a Mac Air model 2013 and 2015?
Question - I was on my MacBook air last night in bed on battery battery was 100% then I think I do remember shutting it down before bed this morning went to turn it on it came to life before the screen went black saying low battery when I went to charge it the battery was at 63% what does that meanb
Before I went away for vacation for a month I last used my macbook pro with touch bar and left it at 80% then turned it off and left it for a month without use. When I came back my battery was completely drained. Is that normal?
does this work with air
sir I have a macbook pro 2018, Lately my macbook randomly shuts down when working on it. I can work on it for about 2 hours, shut it down, but when I want to start it again later the same day, it will start and immediately after login turn back off. When I try restarting at that point the dead battery sign comes on. I know the battery is not dead, because when I plug the laptop back in, the battery is still at 40% or higher.
sir I have done SMC and NVRAM reset, I have done calibration of battery but the problem is still there
I don't know what I have to do, I need my macbook on the go. Please help me out
Wifi off has fixed the issue but how do I automate switching wifi when closing a lid?

Would this work on my laptop, I start on my laptop with 100 (it’s still on charge) then after 1 hour it’s dead (whilst charging) and then it takes about 5/6 hours to get a full charge?

Hi my battery percentage is stuck on 100% and the battery won't charge at all what can i do .
hello and thank you for your help. it appears this does not work on my new MacBook Pro 16" 2019. my mac drains in 2 hours without being plugged into the wall socket. the mac is always hot or 70-75% of the time. it only cools down when i don't work on it. i followed your instructions to the letter. no go.
Did you updated to catalina 10.15.4 right?
Well my system preference don’t exist anymore on my so I had no way of starting. How can I get it back?
any one help us?
i was charging my macbook then the battery went from 50 to 35 while it was charging how do i fix it
I got a problem with my computer, the battery drains really fast and when it reaches around 30-40 it randomly turns off without warning, and this cant keep happening, and to make things worse, my computer just turned off around like 20-30 minutes ago, and when I put the charger back in, the battery wouldn't show up on the top right of my screen, and even battery preferences didn't even come up when I searched everywhere on my computer, and it was also making some really loud air con sounding sound that was so annoying. Do you have any advice on how to fix any of this?
if battery doesnt display it probably has connection issues meaning your battery cable in your mac may be broken or loose
My MacBook Pro 2015 is draining up to 50% over night when it’s sleeping. Have carried out all the basic steps you mention. I did have an overpowered usb error which has gone now since I restored the MacBook back to factory settings. One usb connection is dead on connecting anything. Where is the power going overnight ????!!!!! 🤷♂️
MacBook Air charges really fast, but then after about an hour of working, it hits around 14%. It normally doesn't do this. Normally I can stay up for about nine hours working but it happened recently and is still ongoing. How can I stop this?
i have macbook pro 14 2023, and i don’t have any of the setting you tried😭
my laptop got shut down,afterwards it’s not charging at all ,the window just shows sign to plug battery ,any help
I don't have a problem with the battery of my MacBook Pro 13" 2019 when I close the lid, but I followed your 3 step recommendation anyway because it can't harm. However if I leave the lid open and the MacBook goes to sleep, the battery dies in a couple of hours. Any suggestions? Steve
Yeah after updating to catalina 10.15.4 battery lasts upto 5-6 hours did you find any solutions for that? It you please leave a comment
Great video! I just have a question. When I working on my 2019 macbook pro (same as yours I believe) should I keep the charger out and plug it in just when it's about to die (say at around 5-10%)? I've heard that leaving your mac plugged in can damage the battery. I work with Adobe software such as Photoshop and Animate if that helps :)
I have the same mac and I also use adobe I usually plug my mac in but I've noticed battery problems now when it's not plugged in.
my Mac keeps dying or turning of at 45% can anyone explain or help
god bless you 😭😭😭
I can’t get to that because the only thing that comes up is the red battery telling me to plug in….even while it’s plugged in!!! I don’t know how to fix this!
moochus grassyass mi amigo.
I got the MacBook Pro 15 2019 is it normal to experience battery drain while editing like severe?
i have a 2017 and only lasts about 2 hours when editing. crazy
jahivan yea the 2016 throgh 2019 battery life is not that good believe me haha
I have 2018 version and i also edit on there this is also happening to me
kxssii x I’m guessing it is litterly just the battery at this point like I could get hundreds more new MacBooks and it wouldn’t change a thing
@@waterdragon4774 yeah...
You are good , talk like seller ! Lol
