Hi there,

I have an Macbook pro 13, 4 thunderbolt intel i5 16g ram laptop.

Battery symptoms:

overnight battery drain (100% unplugged would result in 10% next morning when on sleep mode)
battery drain during daily use (I currently get 5 hours of battery when unplugged from mostly browser activity)

What I have tried:

I turned off a power nap and turned no, dimmed light, try to suppress hard drive etc, ( no help)
With apples technician we've checked batter health (everything seems normal) and cycle count is still around 50. We also tried resetting the battery connection, resetting the OS (still no help)

Has anyone else experienced this? What should I try next?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Resetting the system management controller (SMC) can resolve certain issues related to power, battery, fans, and other features.

Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262 Choose the appropriate method.

To leave Safe Mode, choose “Restart” at the bottom.

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items,

system extensions not required by macOS,

and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk,

And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache,

which will be created again automatically as needed.

If these steps don’t help, please contact Apple Support.
