2018 MBP 13" Trickle Discharge

[lankox]

I noticed that my 2018 MacBook Pro loses battery charge while connected to the power supply. This happens when connected with the included power adapter as well as connected to an LG ultrafine 5K. This happens during normal/light workloads. I lose approximately 1% every three hours. I know that is not a lot but is this common for the T2 2018 laptops or do I have a problem? Thanks for your help!

I suspect it's a battery health feature similar to iOS.

Mine does this too.

That’s just the NSA keeping the WiFi active. The only way is to remove the battery. Oh that’s right cellphones and laptops don’t have removable batteries anymore hmmmm.

Also, my full charge capacity has dropped from 5180 down to 5080 (Design = 5088) in one week. Is this normal?

Mine does it too. Probably a long term battery health feature.

It always says 100% in the task bar, but on the log in screen it almost always displays a different % than the task bar. My OCD self doesn’t appreciate that.
