Optimize Your Battery Settings

Battery Settings on Mac
Sergio Velasquez / iDrop News

There are a lot of small settings you can change to make sure your battery life lasts longer with a single charge. First, go to settings like this:

  1. Open the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen.
  2. Click on System Preferences.
  3. Click on Battery
  4. Select Battery on the left side menu. 

Here, you can enable Slightly dim the display while on battery power and Optimize video streaming while on battery. This will help your battery to last longer. 

Also, make sure to disable Enable Power Nap while on Battery Power. This feature checks for email and other iCloud updates, which isn’t the best option if you’re trying to preserve the battery.

Finally, change the time to turn the display off, so your MacBook goes to sleep faster and saves more battery.
