Q: Mac Book air Battery Life
-
Apr 24, 2015 6:25 AMby sjaglall87,Problem description:
My Battery normally lasts for 12 hours when it is off the charger. Lately, it has been going from a 100% full charge to 30% in under two hours. At 100% full charge, the power usage app will tell me I have 12 hours of battery life left. Now at 100% it is saying 5 hours of battery time left. My laptop is a Macbook air 13” and it was purchased 8 months ago.
