Q: Battery depletion on new MacBook 12" in sleep mode

Hi all,

 

Got this MacBook 12" for 3 months now and it happened now more than once that I put the Macbook to sleep with around 50% battery charge just to see it completely drained the next morning. This never happened to any of my other Macbook's (Macbook Pro 13" Retina, MacBook Air 13").

 

Did a complete reset of the battery already. Any clues or advice?

 

Thank you.

MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.

    1. If any wired peripherals are connected, disconnect them.

    2. Turn off first Bluetooth, then Wi-Fi. If an Ethernet cable is connected, disconnect it.

    3. If your model supports Power Nap, turn it off.

    4. Reset the SMC.

    Thanks, but...

     

    2) The Macbook 12" doesn't have Ethernet. I hope you are not suggesting to turn off WiFi every time I put the machine to sleep?

     

    3) Power Nap is already turned off for battery usage.

     

    4) I've done everything, except to reset the SMC. Done that now. Hope it solves the issue.

    FYI: If it's running on battery, wifi is automatically turned off. That's part of what Sleep does.

    Possibly something on your network is keeping the wifi from sleeping. Sleep turns wifi off for a reason, it uses too much juice.

    Hehehehe.... Yes, knew that. I was under the impression you meant to turn off WiFi explicitly Now that I've reset the SMC I will monitor the issue some more. Will come back if it persists.

     

    Thank you.

    I never explicitly said anything to you about turning off the wifi.

     

    Turning off the AirPort Card is turning off the wifi.

    Have developed same problem on my MacBook 12" after upgrading to El Capitan 10.11.2 several days ago. Resetting SMC has not fixed problem. In my case I am out of USA running 220V. Would recommend staying with latest Yosemite release.

    I don't have any issues with battery depletion. Please respond to the OP.

    Ok, so, after resetting SMC and doing everything I could find on this topic, it still depletes the batter like crazy.

     

    Put the Macbook to sleep with 50% battery. After 8 hours it only had 5% left

     

    Power Nap is turned off. Explicitly turned off the WiFi. Closed all app before putting it to sleep, so only Finder was running. Looks to me like a OS issue. Running the latest El Capitan here.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data. The instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

    sudo pmset -g log | sed -E '/Assert|UU/d' | tail -n 50 | pbcopy

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.

    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.

    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.

    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.

    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

    You most likely have some sort of 3rd party app that is continually running in the background preventing your Mac from actually sleeping.

     

    Use the Console app to see what occurs during the time period before and after you put it into Sleep mode.

    It has woken up 635 times since you restarted it yesterday. Are you sure you carried out the test I suggested: turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

    Yes, I did, but honestly, I don't think it this is an issue with any app. Must be a OS related one. I'm not the only one seeing this...
