Hey guys I have a problem with my battery. I bought macbook pro 15 days ago. Namely, it is new. Until today,battery health was %100 and between 6000-7004 mAh. However, now suddenly battery health dropped %84 and 5504 mAh. It was just 14 cycles. I did not understand what happened? Can you tell me what is the problem?

Try calibrating the battery, see if that resolves the issue. If that does not, you might try a smc reset, although I'm not yet sure how that works with the new series laptops. If that fails to resolve the situation, I'd call applecare.

I cannot call apple care. I m from Turkey. May the battery be defective? Until today, there is not problem.

Did you try calibrating the battery? And if you can't call them you can also do a live chat.

6000-7000 mAh? Which model is it? This is pretty high unless you have the 15" model. The 13" should be somewhere around 5000 mAh.

I suggest calibrating the laptop (Use the battery until there's nothing left, leave it alone for 4-6 hours, and finally re-charge it fully).

If that doesn't solve it, time to call Apple.

Hey guys my battery problem is still lasting. I calibrated my battery and everything was fine. However; suddenly again my battery health has dropped from %100 health to %85 health, from 6600 mAh to 5555 mAh. This occurs everytime. My battery health changes between 6600 and 5555 mAh everytime. I did not figure out what the problem is. May my battery be defective?
