Battery on MacBook doesn't last

Hello Apple Support Community,

I have had my MacBook Pro for about 4-6 months, and the battery is draining faster than expected. With normal usage; safari, google applications, etc; the battery lasts 4-5 hours. When I boot into diagnostics mode, it shows FDP000, or the code for no issues. Please help!


Thanks,

Cohen

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

Batteries are considered Consumable Products. Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced. The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%. Apple Batteries are rated for 1000 Full Battery Cycles and / or 80% Capacity before needing Evaluation or replacement.

A feature introduced into Big Sur & Monterey and Ventura was to preserve the number of Full Battery Cycles - there was an Algorithm coded into the macOS.


It is perfectly Normal for Big Sur , Monterey, Ventura to Pause / Suspend charging the battery beyond 80% and hold it at that level. One can nudge / over-ride this by clicking the Battery Icon on Desktop Top Bar and allow charging beyond 80%. From observations, it will Pause / Suspend again once reading 90%. Same procedure to over-ride and will charge to 100%

Not seeing your "FDP000"... as they say "garbage in, garbage out"


what exact Mac is this?

what exact macOS are you currently running?





No issues returns code: ADP000.
