Charge battery

Sometimes it happens that I cannot fully charge the battery, I have to, for example, leave the office to go home (it will charge up to 60% in the office, for example) and at home it charges to the end - does recharging the battery affect its life?

MacBook, macOS 10.15

Hello LukaszKucharski

Recharging the battery does not directly affect the battery life. However every time your battery gets fully charge it counts into the Battery charge cycle. Make sure that you are using the official Apple charging adapter that came with your MacBook. Also your MacBook should be up-to-date. So charging at the office or at home is fine. You can read in this article more about Battery usage.

Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Power) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM
