Battery lasting 6 hours - is this normal?
I’m running Mohave 10.14 OS on a mid 2012 15” MacBook Pro unibody. I’ve upgraded my RAM and HD to an SSD and added a new battery in March 2021. I’m within a year of the installation of this latest battery and I’m only getting 6 hours from it. Is this normal? I’m reading email messages and news articles and have already lost 55% of my charge within 3 hours. Apple has taken away my ability to run command D for diagnostics. I have several tabs opened in Safari and have several apps up but not using. The Activity Monitor jumps around so much I’m not sure if one app is hogging the resources, Mail and Safari Networking seem to have the biggest numbers, 400+ MBs.
Cette question est-elle utile ?

@danj Thanks for the app. There was also something in in About or Preferences that showed the hardware/firmware for the battery but I haven't found it yet. I'll keep searching and see if it shows anything.
