Q: Macbook pro battery life

My macbook pro is less than a year old: Had 7-9 hour battery life 8 months ago, now battery life is less than 3 hours (if that). Currently, 48% battery life is translating to 50min of life.

 

OSX EL Capitan 10.11.3

Retain, 15in, Mid 2014

 

 

In Safe mode the hours climb back up.

What is the problem?

MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1

A:

Read about Safe Mode to find out what is disabled in safe mode. This may give you a clue to what is behind the problem. Also, see Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity.
