[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1908352, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Pete[/B] - a couple of comments: 1) Coconut Battery is not reporting your 'battery health' correctly, i.e. it's the % ratio of current 'Full Charge Capacity'/'Design Capacity' - the pic on the left below is my MBAir (Early 2015) with correct 96.3% health, while your calculated health is 70.8% but stated to be almost 9 percent points higher; 2) Your 'Cycle Count' is a LOT for one year's use; mine is only 56 because I keep the computer plugged in most of the time. Now Apple states that the battery up to 1000 cycles should maintain at least 80% health ([URL='https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/replace-your-macbooks-battery/']Source[/URL]), so if my calculation is the correct one, then that may be an issue; plus, not sure why the app is not reporting the right figure? I suspect that your battery is the issue but let the others 'chime in' w/ their comments. Dave . [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2022-04-19 at 2.34.44 PM.png"]36094[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
