Mac OS 10.15.5 Battery Health button is missing

Hi -

I don't see that "Battery Health" button in my Energy Saver dialog box. Is this limited to certain MacBook's? Mine is a mid-2015 15" and I'm running Mac OS 10.15.5.

Regards.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Incredible battery drain in new Ventura 13 After I updating my macOS from Monterey to Ventura I am struggling with an incredible battery drain in sleep mode. I've already tried to change many options and even closed all my apps before entering a sleep mode. What I noticed in Activity Monitor is the fact that both kernel_task and WindowServer use a lot of CPU % and make a lot of wake-ups, but I suppose it is ok. Do you have the same issue with a new system?

Battery life indicator ... Any hints? No battery level indications over time and supposedly last charged next year some time!! System date and time are still accurate. And although last charged to only 56% (reportedly), current battery level is 88%. Will turning it off and on help?

2021 MacBook Pro 16 Battery Health 93% after 6 Months Hi, I have read numerous articles on the community, but either their batteries are not depleting as quickly as mine or they are dated (like a few years ago), so I thought I want to bring my case to attention and see if it is normal that this is happening. Model: MacBook Pro 16" (2021) (M1 Max) Battery Health: 93% Cycle Count: 61 Purchased / Start using: July 2022 (6 months ago) I have been aware about the battery health precautions so I do the following few things daily: I use the official Apple Charger (140W) and the MagSafe cable I have battery management turned on Reboot my Mac from time to time Run mostly on power adapter but will still use unplugged from time to time I believe I am already doing all the right things here to preserve the battery, yet at this rate 7% per half a year, I will be at 72% at the end of the second year?! Can I be advised on whether this is normal or should I send it in to Apple? Thanks!

It is too old for that button. Apple did document it here:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211094

The section:

"How to control the battery health management feature

Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports."

Yes, I agree, it should be better documented on other links, and have requested they update it.
