Check Your Battery Health
If you feel like your MacBook’s battery isn’t what it used to be, it might be because it’s getting old. You can check your battery health to determine if you need to replace it or not!
- Click the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen.
- Select System Preferences.
- Click on Battery.
- Click Battery again on the left side menu.
- Click on Battery Health.
If it says normal, that means everything’s good and your battery’s working as it should. However, it may also say Service Recommended, which means that your battery’s not working properly, and you might want to consider changing it.
Since you’re there, click Manage Battery Longevity to reduce peak capacity as the battery ages to extend your battery’s lifespan.
