Macbook Air 2020 Monterey 12.4 gives me 100% charged notification every few seconds

I saw one thread on this, but there was no solution there, so I am starting a new one.


I have a new charger for my laptop. Every time the computer goes into sleep mode, it beeps and gives a notification that the computer is 100% charged every few seconds. It is as though I keep unplugging and plugging in the charger. It happens with both ports.


I rebooted the computer in safe mode, where the problem did not occur. When I went back to normal, the problem resumed. I can't think of anything I downloaded to my computer recently. The only change is the new charger. Perhaps its circuitry is flawed?


Any other thoughts?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

Thank you for this reply, which may have solved the problem. I ordered the charger online, but not from Apple. Now that I have been on Apple's site, I see that the charger I doesn't deliver the correct power. I ordered a replacement from Apple, which I am sure will solve the problem. Others have reported this problem as well, and I bet they made the same mistake.

Hello there,


Just to confirm, does this only happen when using that specific charger, or does it happen with all chargers? Is that charger you're using an Apple charger?

Since you mentioned that the issue didn't occur in safe mode, please also check out the information in the "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode" part of this link: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Take care!
