About the Battery Life of my 2015 New Macbook

Dear All,

I'd purchased a NEW MACBOOK 2015 version and the battery is not as advertised could run for 9 hours. May I know which application or setting should I amend/adjust in order getting the ideal battery operating time until 9 hours long? I am just a light user with light mail scanning and safari surfing.

My new macbook could only operated maximum of 7 hours even fully charged. Require some help from the expert.

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Have you read the numerous entries in this thread:

New MacBook only getting 5 hours of battery life

Skimming it I can see that there are a number of frustrated users while others are not having problems. That's pretty typical for any computer problem. There are suggestions about how to decrease battery drain and how to monitor battery status. Worth a read but no promises.

Good luck

Hi, I don't understand your question about a related thread. Did clicking on the blue text in my other note not work?

By the way an application called Coconut Battery from coconut-flavour.com can provide you with extra information about the health of your battery.
