Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Ok so I got my first MacBook Pro and when I went to inbox it I powered it on and then I noticed that after it being on sleep mode for a long time the battery will jump like 3 percent up then down or up and then it would stay I went through two macs and both did the same I am a little curious apple support said it was normal but I want to no if others dose this as we'll
Could somebody please help me out I really want to know why it's doing this
My battery will fluctuate if it's asleep for a while and not plugged into mains during that period.
Quite normal.

I'm sure that if you note the battery percentage before putting your notebook to sleep, storing it for a period of time, and reawakening the machine, you'll see that your battery has fluctuated somewhat.

I probably never came across this as I predominately swicth off/shut down when I go to bed...I don't recall ever leaving Mac sleeping for more than 24hours..😊
There are some "Battery Care" tips in the manual that comes with Mac, but if you are like me once I read how to fire it up, it took more than a year to read the rest of the manual on a need to know basis..😉
I Have been following some tips from ape support but I just do t quite understand why it dose it this is my second one already
also when you go to charge your Mac it won't go all the way up to a 100 it will go to like 97 or 98 and them as soon as I unplug the charger it will go to 100 after a couple of seconds to my Mac this two also happened twice
WWhen you charge yours dose it go all the way to 100 or will it stop at like 97 or 9& then go to a hundred after you unplugged it

It's an estimate based on useage, when opened from sleep the estimate has to be updated.
The charger will stop charging somewhere between 95 and 100%. This is to prevent damage to the battery. It starts charging again when it drops below 95%. What you are seeing is normal.

Rechargeable devices like iPhones, computers will charge to 100% and then stop charging to prevent overcharging. When the charge level drops to about 97-98%, depending on the way the manufacturer has it set up, it will start charging again and go back to 100%. So, depending on when you look at it, you may not see 100%.
You're overthinking this.
