How to test an issue in another user account on your MacĪnother step you can do is use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things: This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue. Thanks for replying, Michael, and that additional info, it really helps! Next, you can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. Only browsing the web, no apps open in background, brightness 70%, wifi It's like a windows laptop, probably worst compared to a Dell XPS. but I never, ever, experienced such a terrible battery.
This is not my first Macbook, I had a white unibody in 2013 and an Air in 2016. I also don't know if Battery Health 3 is very reliable, because the app is telling me that I have 18hrs remaining after 5min of typing (while in the screenshot, 5 mins ago, was 20hrs). Same story here, the problem is still there. He also told me to try to reset the battery, discharging until 0% (let the Mac shut down by itself) and then recharge to 100%. I've tested it for 6/8 hours, the problem was still here even with the Mac brand new "out of the box". He told me to test if it was related to a certain app with a higher battery consumption, so we erased the Mac and restored to factory default. Then he searched with me on the internet for other people having the same trouble and he came to the post I've linked before (the one on Macrumors), so I decided to share with all of you my experience. He started the battery test using his iPad and the result was ok. He also told me that he had no papers from Apple regarding this problem. So I went to the Apple store here in Milan (Italy) and the guy told me that I was basically his first case on a Mac Book Pro 16, because it's a new product. I can also tell you that in 8 hrs of standby (no tasks open) the battery have drained 7% of its charge. do de math to understand my battery life. Using my Mac with regular tasks (like web browsing, mail etc) it is around 1% of battery usage every 2 minutes. I am experiencing a terrible battery life too. There's an entire thread on Macrumors where a lot of people is experiencing the same problem.įorum/macs/notebooks/macbookpro and search the topic Battery Life on MacBook Pro 16.
