So a few months ago I replaced the battery in my MBP (16GB and 512GB SSD) using a kit from ifixit, and the battery life is not anywhere near what I was expecting. It should be getting over 7 hours, but I barely get 4 hours.

Is that normal experience for these older Macs?

I don't want to upgrade to something newer as it can do everything I need (boot times seem slow nowadays though and i can't connect to my AirPods, they keep disconnecting when I put them in my ears, all other bluetooth works fine).
