You can make changes in >System Preferences>Battery>Power Adapter/Battery




My battery runtime is low

I have the same issue. I had a battery drain of ONE percent a day, no bad. I've recently, plugged an external SSD, Sandisk brand, on my MacBook Pro M1. The external SSD drain my battery TEN percent a day or more. I can unplugged the external SSD. But I would have to relink some of my app to the external SSD every time I want to use it. I was looking to disable the "POWER NAP" in the battery. But this feature did not appear in the battery preference. I really don't want to reset any of the setting. Any suggestion?
