This battery is aging too quickly in its first months, coconutBattery discloses.

If you’re concerned about if or how fast your Mac or mobile device is charging, you can see whether a power adapter is connected and the wattage at which power is transferring. (Remember that Apple’s 1-year device warranty covers a battery that drops below 80 percent maximum capacity in that period, and AppleCare+ during any point while it remains in effect for Macs, iPhones, and iPads.) That means it’ll be certainly be due for a warranty replacement in a few months. 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. An option in the app’s preferences also lets you add a system menu that shows configurable details about battery status and optionally include iOS/iPadOS devices in the dropdown menu.ĬoconutBattery can also tell you a lot about the battery on an iPhone or iPad connected via USB or Wi-Fi. You can see the current charge, what your Mac or mobile device considers its current 100 percent capacity (the Full Charge Capacity), and what coconutBattery labels as the design capacity-the maximum charge the battery should be able to hold when it leaves the factory.

The views for This Mac and iOS Device (iPhone and iPad) provide the basics needed for regular use, when preparing to go off power, and for keeping track of long-term trends of a potentially failing battery. It’s matured over that time to provide a focused set of useful information about the charge and health of the battery built into your Mac and any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you connect via USB or, with an optional paid upgrade, over Wi-Fi. Mac-gems-coconutBattery provides all the basics of battery status at the glance, and a click reveals more details.ĬoconutBattery emerged nearly two decades ago as a simple battery-management tool.
