Delivered in December 2020, at 8 months, it was already down to 92 percent capacity at 63 cycles at 10 months, right now, and 74 cycles, it can only hold 85 percent. This revealed to me that my M1 MacBook Air battery has taken a real hit, according to the History view in the app.

(Cycles measure 100 percent charge, so discharging 50 percent and recharging to full is a half cycle.) With coconutBattery running or every time you launch it, the app records statistics for the device’s age (based on a date Apple encodes in it), the current maximum percentage of design capacity (as Health), and the number of cycles it’s been charged. But I recommend taking a look at the design capacity percentage regularly, too.
They might help decide whether you should pack a USB battery pack, for instance, or charge for longer. Many of these statistics are useful to look at while anticipating going mobile for tens of minutes to several hours.

“So how many Loadcycles was the battery designed to cope you ask?”Īpple has a chart that can be found here which details the designed maximum Loadcycles each particular Macbook/Macbook Pro model can bear before users should begin to seriously consider replacing the batteries. In the case above, the 11-inch, Late 2010 Macbook Air has completed 429 Loadcycles.
The Loadcycles is expressing the same values found in System Profiler under Cycle Count. The green bar itself shows that the battery’s current state has regressed to 90.1% of its original condition. When we compare this to the Design Capacity reading of 4680 mAh, we can deduce that the battery has lost 463 mAh of its total capacity over time and use. With reference to the image above, just on top of the yellow bar, Maximum Charge indicates the total charge your battery, in its current state, can hold.ĭesign Capacity, displayed above the green bar shows how many mAh a new/fresh battery was designed to hold.īased on the Maximum Charge reading, the 11-inch, Late 2010 Macbook Air above can now only hold 4217 mAh. When it comes to how much energy a battery can hold, the equivalent is expressed in milliamps or mAh. When you talk about how much liquids you can hold in a container, the common unit of measurement (at least in most places outside of the USA) is in litres. Its a beautiful app that provides visual cues in an easy to understand layout to see exactly how your battery is doing. Unless you like staring at lines of text and numbers, this usually isn’t the most desirable or intuitive way to go about diagnosing whether your battery’s days are numbered.Įnter, the Coconut Battery app, by Chris Sinai. The standard way to peek at your Macbook/Macbook Pro’s battery health is using OS X’s built in System Profiler which can be accessed from the About This Mac menu.
