As a disclaimer, always visit an Apple authorized service provider for any hardware repairs, as going to a third party will void your warranty. If not, make a Genius Bar appointment and get it checked out. If the battery looks ship shape, it probably is. If your loadcycles are significantly less than the average of 1000 before deterioration, and the maximum capacity is far lower than the design capacity, once again, you may want to take your device in for repair. you can go about 1000 loadcycles before the battery’s capacity falls behind the design capacity significantly. It shows the current charge, full-charge capacity and design capacity of the MacBook. So, if you have 50% charge, and charge it to 100%, then use the device until the charge is at 50%, you’ve completed a loadcycle. Available only in macOS, the nifty coconutBattery app lets you monitor your device's battery with a glance.

Loadcycles and Usage – One loadcycle is one full discharge followed by one full charge, or from 0% to 100%. This kind of deterioration is expected from a device of its age, being 477 days old, but if your device’s maximum is significantly less than the design capacity, it may be best to take your device in to get your battery exchanged. Delivered in December 2020, at 8 months, it was already down to 92 percent. In the case of my 6s, it was designed to store 1715mAh of power but through use has deteriorated to a maximum charge of 1311mAh – or 76.4%. This revealed to me that my M1 MacBook Air battery has taken a real hit, according to the History view in the app. So, what does it all mean?! It’s pretty easygoing, actually.Ĭharge Capacity – Power is displayed as milliamp hours or mAh.

For further device details, such as the age, serial number, and processor, you can select “Device details.” Running the Appĭouble click on the file you just downloaded to open it.Īll battery details will be displayed in the bottom portion of the screen. The coconutBattery app will also show you battery diagnostics for your Mac, which is a nice extra. One of my favorite features of coconutBattery is its overall ease of use and lightness, meaning it won’t bog down your CPU or use loads of storage on your machine. The file itself, a “.zip,” is only 8.5MB at the time of writing and should take next to no time to install. Also, if the most current version doesn’t support your needs, the webpage will offer up older versions compatible with older operating systems. Scroll down on the page until you see the “Download 3.4” link or a similar link depending on when and if updates have been implemented. Do take note that coconutBattery only works on macOS machines, so if you’re running Windows, you’ll need to find a friend with a Mac. In this case we’ll be running coconutBattery version 3.4.

We’ll first need to download coconutBattery. And the best part of all of this? It won’t void your warranty. Now, of course, any Apple retail store or authorized service provider can run diagnostics for you, but with most stores few and far between, running diagnostics yourself will be most applicable. Running diagnostics is relatively simple to do and is a great way to see if your battery may need replacing.

is not able to send / receive the correct read out and updated information, but that was pure speculation.ġ. The actual repair facility tech who helped me swap the battery and replaced the DMC (?) suggested that the issue might be that the batteries are newer tech than the High Sierra operating system, and as such H.S. Spoke to a half dozen local Apple technicians as well as several Apple Care Senior (Tier 2) folk, and literally NO ONE has any idea why this is happening nor have any of them seen this set of issues before.

Except that Same INCORRECT Battery Cycle Count and the mAh Charge Numbers all of which STILL are showing the number from the Old Dead Battery even though the Serial Number of the New Battery and other information is showing “properly”….?!?!? To make matters Even More Weird, we ran the “MRI” panel of tests from Apple, and overall everything checks out great…. We even tried TWO (a second) New Batteries - same result.

The computer started right up, and holds a charge.įor some insane reason, while the battery now works somewhat properly, both the System Report AND Coconut Battery are ONLY showing the information from The Old Dead Battery, and neither will update to the NEW Battery Information under any circumstances! Tried resetting PRAM, SMC etc. The small circuit board where the Mag-Safe plugs in (the “DMC”?) was also replaced. We replaced the battery completely as many above suggested. UPDATE, Semi-Repair, Weird Residual Problems…. MacBook not recognizing battery, not even in coconutbattery very similar problems to this FixIt post, but I am not skilled enough to open the case: If I open About This Mac / System Report, it says this about the battery: Its as though that extra "5 hours of extra drain time" after it hits zero % has DAMAGED the laptop’s ability to even recognize what should be a perfectly good battery! I even reinstalled the whole operating system…. Starting from an external drive shows the same problem - no sign of the battery even when running from an external boot attached via USB (External Start Up Disk). Disk First Aid did nothing and says it’s “All Fine” (NOT). SMC reset could only be tried with power cable in (did not help), further PRAM reset did nothing, Mag-Safe power cable always has the orange light, and if power cable is detached the computer dies immediately. But then I closed it for a few hours and when I reopened it the problem was back and now worse than ever. I tried to reset the PRAM and it acted normal ONCE and charged up to 92% and CoconutBattery showed that normal 4000 amp capability, and about 690 cycles. CoconutBattery now shows empty fields where text should be, as though there is no battery to discuss? "Show Battery In Menu" (System Preferences / Energy Saver) literally will not work - you check it and it un-checks itself. Before this CoconutBattery showed ~4000 Amps out of the OG 4600 available, and the cycle count was only ~690. I did the recalibration because I was only getting 3-4 hours on a charge.

When I returned to the laptop after the full 5+ hour post-0% power drain (second to last step), the battery is ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOGNIZED.
