How's your 2021 Macbook Pro battery holding ?

[bontempi]

Mine is at 80% and it has stayed there for months

I have extended apple care so whenever it goes to 79% i am eligible for a battery change

But i've noticed it just WON'T go below 80%.... Wonder if they do this on purpose ! Would love a new battery.

I think on purpose due to the complaints a few years ago. Mine also says 80% and Apple told me they don't replace under warranty unless it goes below...convenient.

But, the battery still is good on my M1 MacBook Pro as I keep it on power most of the time for video editing.

Have you calibrated the battery recently? For that you should charge it to 100%, use it until it shuts itself down, then immediately charge. After check the health again.

Thanks, will try

I did and it's still at 80%
This is quite suspicious. I feel like it's never gonna drop below 80%.

Mine is still at 99%. It's almost always plugged in, but I've only charged it to 80% since I got it.

I feel like it's never gonna drop below 80%.

Sure it will. Right after your AC expires :/

Mine is also at 99% at 117 cycles. M1 Pro 16". I use Al Dente to limit charging.

I took this screenshot on battery. I've been using this on battery pretty much for the past 7 hours.

91% at 100 cycles. M1 MBP 14. Still have the sleep drain issue that I’ve troubleshoot to death.

My 16" M1 MBP is at 87% at 485 cycles. Bought it refurbished about a year ago, so don't know how previous user was using the battery.

My 16" M1 Pro that I bought in November 2021 System Report shows:

I've been using Al Dente app to control battery charging from day 1. I use mine plugged-in more than 90% of the time.
