Battery replacements are a normal and expected part of a MacBook’s lifetime. Battery cycles are a metric of a battery’s health, counted when the battery is discharged through the range of its full capacity once, and does not need to be specifically from 100% to 0%. Typically, batteries should function close to their original performance up until 800 cycles. Battery health is a more representative metric of a battery’s condition, calculated as the percentage of its original charge capacity. Once a battery dips below 75% of its original charge capacity, it may start to act erratically. Once the system detects erratic behaviour, such as a sudden shutdown condition, or detects abnormally low battery health, it may display a “Service Recommended” notification under the battery status. Battery health may also rapidly degrade when subjected to significant heat, or if kept unused in storage for an extended period of time.
A MacBook with a battery in poor condition will not last as long as it should when disconnected from the charger, and may cause unexpected issues. A malfunctioning battery may result in sudden shutdowns occurring even when the lower is powered from the charger. This seems to occur only for certain models – the 2018-2019 MacBook Air and 2012-2015 15″ MacBook Pro being the models most commonly observed to suffer shutdowns when the charger is connected due to a malfunctioning battery. MacBook Batteries contain up to three temperature sensors that are readable by the Mac’s System Management Controller, and issues with this data transmission due to a battery issue can cause unexpected issues such as high fan spin and slow performance. When the battery’s sensors cannot be read, the Mac may throttle its processor’s clock speed in order to minimize heat generation, while ramping the fans to maximum speed. On MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models from 2018 to 2020, the effect may be so significant that it becomes unusably slow.
