macbook pro 2016 with touchbar battery issue

So I did what you said and kept it plugged into power for the rest of the day to let indexing and any other background processes finish. I then logged out and logged back in holding down the shift key so that no login items started. I set my brightness to 40%. I let it sit there a little while, opened up Safari and surfed for a little bit, then closed it and just let it sit there idle. My battery life estimate is worse than before.

After install fresh OSX, I found the standby time 10.30 hours at 100% charge. then I surf web about 25 mins, the battery percentage drops to 96% with 6.30 hours remaining.

Is you bluetooth turned off OC Lan Man? Also I noticed that your Time Machine Average energy consumption is 10.53 watts per hour. Please turn it off, reset your PRam, ( How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support) Leave it on the charger then when at 100% put it to sleep by actually selecting sleep from the apple menu, then disconnect the charge cable. Let it sit for an hour or two. Then open it up an start some light usage, web browsing with 3-5 tabs, no heavy ads or video websites.

Do you have any other applications installed like drop box or other maintenance applications?

This is probably also a silly question, do you have any external devices like drawing tablets that are tapping into the power from your laptop? Or anything else plugged in?

I really wish Apple sends an update to fix the issue. I guess it is coming from power consumption management. However there is nothing we can do about the small 49.2 W/H battery for the 13" with the Touch Bar. If I find my fully loaded 13" to get only 3-4 hours then I may need to return the laptop and I know I will not be able to choose from junk Windows laptops either so I will be literally with no laptop!

Really don't know why Apple lied so bad this time. Their Battery Life was always great. This time I am hoping and happy with even getting 2 hours less than my 2013 MacBook Pro which was getting 9 hours! So in 2016 (with shame) I have to say that I am happy with 6-7 hours only. This is truly not acceptable. I hope the update comes soon but I am confident that even the update can not help that much.

Apple gave us an update yesterday, but instead of fixing the battery issue they just removed the time remaining clock. Removing the clock doesn't fix the problem Apple! Next they're going to tell us we're using our laptops wrong like they told the iPhone 4 users they were holding their phones wrong when they were complaining about poor signal. The 2015 MBP's are getting 8+ hours of battery life. My 2012 rMBP has a warning that the battery needs to be serviced and I gets almost as much battery life out of it as my 2016 model. It's not the time remaining timer Apple.

I've used some friends Suface Pro 4's. They are really nice. I loved using the pen right on the screen. I might look at that or the Surface book if Apple doesn't make this right soon.

Same problem here. My Macbook Pro 13' 2016 without touch bar only lasted five to six hours within 5 cycles battery charge... Couldn't be more disappointed...

Same thing here, Getting about 4 hours if lucky.

I have a new MBP 13" with touchbar, I am getting between 3 hours with normal usage (pages, word, safari) and 4.5 or 5 if lucky with soft web browsing sitting 50cm from my AirPort Extreme router.

Bad experience with Apple.....just last for 4-5 hours....This is my first macbook pro

Same here

Same issue here. My MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch bar can only use 2 and half hours. Also Touch bar is not working properly. I hope that apple will fix our issue.

Thanks for the update. Sadly assumed what you going through is the case.

Am on Chat with support now, but they are saying it's due to my screen being too bright....
