A couple years ago I was draining my MacBook's (non-Pro) battery daily and it still had most of its capacity (you could squeeze out six hours at minimal consumption) at the end of the year. It might not have been the same model as you, but I think your results are unusually bad (unless their new batteries just suck a lot more).
- guns 17y agoActually, my experience with the dozens of Apple laptops I've seen over the past few years tells me that the design or manufacture of the Macbook Pro batteries (up until the recent redesign) was inferior to that of the regular Macbook. The battery swelling / exploding problem was particular to the MBP, for instance. Incidentally, the battery inside of the laptop I'm currently using (a black Macbook), is the most heroic battery I've ever encountered: At 2 and half years old and 993 loadcycles, it still retains 95% of it's original capacity. It only began reporting consistently under 100% a couple of weeks ago. In contrast, by business partner's Macbook Pro of similar age (and ~600 loadcycles) can barely hold a half hour of charge. He finds my battery's longevity fairly irritating.
