Tingling / Static Feeling While Charging MacBook

Hi everyone,

Whenever I charge my MacBook M3, I feel a slight tingling or static touch on the aluminum body, almost like a small flow of static electricity. This has been happening since the beginning, right from when I bought it from the store.


Does this affect my MacBook’s performance, or is it only happening on my device?

Also, it has been 9 months since I bought it, and I already lost around 7% battery health — could this be related in any way?


If anyone else is facing the same issue, please let me know. Is this normal

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0
