I just got this new Macbook Air yesterday. Today I have been using it on and off and the battery life has been terrible. Started at 100% this morning and had to charge it twice. It even dropped from 39% to 7% while it was in sleep mode closed. Is this normal?

Normally, during this period, it’s preferable to leave the device connected to WiFi and charging all the time, especially overnight. This won’t damage the battery.
