do batteries die without warning on 2016 MacBook Pro

My 2016 MacBook Pro (space gray) was streaming a webinar (Webinato) I closed the cover but an hour later when I lifted the screen the laptop never came on again. Ever heard of this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

If there was a call out about the battery health that comes on the screen I would have noticed it for sure. There was nothing unusual about the laptop performance when off the AC disconnected. That's whats so odd.



If the battery in your 2016 or 2017 MacBook Pro won't charge past 1%—


The battery health status on these devices will also indicate "Service Recommended."

Any time you are near the mains you benefit from being plugged in, especially a streaming app., if you need the portability then battery obviously.


There is no harm being on the mains, your battery will have a longer life/cycle count.


If you are having an issue booting after it has been on the charger for a while,

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
