Maverick drains battery of MacBook Air Mid13

I was working really fine with Lion, however I decided to move to Maverick because there are many good points.

Once, I was starting with Maverick my new MAcBook Air middle 2013 drain all nights its battery, on sleep mode. I tried to reset the PRAM, without succes.

Any idea, what is going on with Maverick and MacBokk Air Mid 13??


My Mac is a MAcBook Air, 13-inch, Mid 2013

Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)


When I pront in terminal

pmset -g log

I get next:

A: run etrecheck to verify what you have running in sleep mode



http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck


EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. EtreCheck automatically removes any personally identifiable information from the output.



B: in some instances with your Air in sleep mode using Mavericks this can happen. *this is being looked into



Suggest not sleeping your Air for very long periods, ....and never (Mavericks or otherwise, no difference) often / always sleeping your Air AND having it on power, ... since this causes chemistry changes in your Lithium battery causing premature battery failure, specifically parasitic charging.


which is why:

"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."






on the same topic in general:


General consideration of your MacBook battery

Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.

However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.

A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The only quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.

A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.


All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.



➕If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:


1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.


2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).


3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:

A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.

B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.

C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

I did what you described in your comment. So there is not any clue about this issue? I saw in many comments the same issue with no real solution for Maverick and MacBook Air Mid 2013 and battery drainning. Maybe Apple should address this problem in the next update.

If you have other idea or possible check points please let me know,

Thanks

I'm having this same issue since updating to 10.9.2. Also tried SMC and PRAM resets. If I have 100% charge, put the (Mid-2013 i7) MBA to sleep unplugged by the next morning battery is at 0% and I have to do a cold boot to get the machine to turn back on.


I did find that my keyboard backlight setting was set to never turn off, so I just reset that to 5 minutes to see if that helps.

Hi John_de,

Finally I found the way to solve the issue. I reinstalled Maverick after erase all my MacBook Air (http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-clean-install-os-x-mav ericks-on-my-mac), so the bug should be in some step of the Lion update to Maverick.

Now my MacBook Air runs as new, you can left on sleep mode and after 3 days the battery level is in the same percentage.

I hope this could help you.

Cheers,

Miguel
