2016 macbook pro 15" with touch bar poor battery life

Hmmm.. 😐

Everyone... Please close out Dropbox. Only sync dropbox when needed manually.

What application is Sync and Activetenveergave?

Spotlight is indexing as well, which means that for a few days, it will consume more energy and run hot.

You should plug in the laptop and set the power requirements to not sleep when plugged in. This will fully index the contents of the drive and you will be back to proper energy usage.

Lastly, I assume that you already reinstalled Sierra OSX?

Sync is a Dropbox alternative. Have them both. They are almost not active, because everything is synced. Spotlight has indexed everything this afternoon, so can't be using much. Activiteitenweergave is Activity Monitor, the app I have used most these last few days. Battery temperature now, according to Coconut Battery: 39,2 degrees C.

Yes I did a clean install of Sierra.

Either way they are using combined 3 watts per hour.

I have seen where when consumption is above 13 watts per hour it steps up the processor at a higher clock rate (processor stepping)

Try this:

disable Sync, Dropbox, and disable Time machine... validate through coconut battery that consumption is below 10 watts per hour

Charge it to 100 percent... Restart then reset SMC and PRAM... Boot it up to the desktop then put it to sleep and unplug it for an hour. Then open and do some light safari browsing. No Videos, no ad intensive sites, no facebook....

Okay, I will. I appreciate your help, but getting a bit tired of it. Sync and Box now use only between 1 and 1,2 watts together. The computer as a whole using 5 watts and a bit, says Coconut Battery.

You just got it... So you need to break it in...

If you used migration assistant, you will want to reinstall sierra osx on existing disk partition, or consider deleting disk partition and doing a fresh install and not migrating anything over. Fresh out of the box it will need to index all the files.

Give it a week. If you purchased your device past November 10, you have much longer than 15 days to return it.

I had the same trouble with my MBP 15" 2016 base model, the second night of using it i woke up and checked if it fully charged, when i opened it i thought i can cook some eggs on it. Keyboard, touch bar and the place above the touch bar was really hot, and battery temperatures was like yours. The next day everything was fine except the battery life it was about 3-4 hours with only light browsing with safari. But today (im using this one from November 24), i really fell in love with this machine, i don't have any problems even with the battery, i can get 7-8 hours with medium and almost heavy use, and i think its 8-9 hours of light browsing with Safari.

Leo015, what do you mean when saying "freezing"? It was just freeze so you couldn't use it or what? When i'm opening launch pad and then opening the tab where Activity Monitor is placed, i can see that its opening not smoothly but with some kind of freezing or lag, like slideshow, you know. It's not so very annoying, so i can live with it. When i opening the Activity Monitor im having the same thing. You meant this or i'm wrong?

Here's the screenshot of my Activity Monitor

im using it for about 30 mins, another 35 is a sleeping time

By freezing i mean that i was not able to use it. It would just freeze and not respond to anything. No Cmd+Opt+Esc, no keyboard keys, no touch bar. So i had to shut it down using the power on button.

Yeah, that's not the same that i've got

I have a 13" rMBP with Touch Bar, and I was disappointed with only 6-7 hours of battery life, with very light usage, out of the box. I set mine up as a new Mac. I've now had it for just over a week, and I'm now getting 8-9 hours. I am running the latest beta build of 10.12.2, and I have ran the battery through a few cycles of fully charged to powered down.

I haven't reinstalled macOS Sierra, reset SMC, or anything of that sort. I think this is more of a software/firmware issue that Apple is working out in the latest beta builds. It seems unlikely that so many new Macs would have faulty batteries. I've been purchasing Apple products for over 20 years, and I've never opened/received a defective unit out of the box.

Numerous people have stated that they are having the same issue with two successive new Macs. It just seems unlikely that anyone would receive two defective computers in a row...not impossible, but very unlikely.

Overall, this machine is an engineering and industrial design marvel. I'm very impressed.

I've just noticed that i dont have any of my lag (or freezing or slideshow) issue when i'm using dGPU. So when im using integrated gpu visual effects of Mac OS is not so smoothly as they should be. On my Macbook Air everything is fine😕

Pselok, i noticed this too. When connecting my Macbook to my external monitor which activates the dGPU, when i open the Applications grid in the dock the animation is much smoother, while when on the Macbook and the iGPU is activated it is not so smooth but it does not lag.

I think we're talking about the same thing. But, why? My Macbook Air works perfectly even with much lower processor and without dGPU

P.S just updated xCode and spotlight just finished something to do which has been draining energy and now im about 4:03 estimated time.. Gonna fully load it and go to 0% and then fully charge it

@NYMunky: did it all : disabled Sync, Dropbox, TM was never on. Charged it to 100 percent, restart then reset SMC and PRAM. Booted it up to the desktop then put it to sleep and unplugged it for an hour. Then did some light safari browsing. A few seconds after restarting this was the result.

Ten minutes later, after the light browsing, it was getting very hot again, here are those results.

And I don't see al lot of activity but maybe I'm mistaken (also after ten minutes):

Something is obviously wrong with your machine mate. Take it back and have it replaced. I can't see anything suspicious in the Activity Monitor, but getting hot and draining battery so fast - definitely not normal.

What % of brightness? Any plugged-in devices?
