Sure, here are some troubleshooting steps you can take if you're experiencing issues with your MacBook battery:

  • Check for any software updates that might address the issue.
  • Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook. The SMC controls various hardware functions, including the battery. To reset it, shut down your MacBook, hold down the Shift, Control, and Option keys on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button to turn it on. Release the keys and boot up your MacBook normally.
  • Check your battery health by clicking on the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen, selecting 'About This Mac', then clicking on 'System Report'. Select 'Power' from the left-hand sidebar and look for 'Health Information' to see the current condition of your battery.
  • If your battery health is poor and your MacBook is still under warranty or AppleCare, contact Apple support to see if you're eligible for a battery replacement.
