Gaan vinnig jou Mac- en Macbook-batterygesondheid na

When your computer and mobile phone have been used for a long time, have you ever concerned about the health condition of your battery?

Sometimes you may find that your battery begins to lose its charging capabilities and gives you less and less running time. These problems are actually caused by the unhealthy condition of your battery. Therefore, you should pay attention to your battery’s health and replace a genuine battery in time to avoid battery life-related problems since the battery could be overconsumed, and ensure you great user experience.

In Apple, iOS 11.3 adds a new feature to estimate battery condition. This can be found in “Battery Health”. When opening it, users can view the current percentage of the battery’s maximum capacity so people can understand more exactly about the battery’s condition and determine when to have a battery replacement.

In fact, there is the same feature in Mac OS. To open the battery status menu: Press the “Option” button on the keyboard, and click the battery icon on the menu bar, and then you can see the battery’s health information on the menu.

However, macOS does not directly list the battery’s maximum capacity as iOS does. It uses four status indicators to display the battery’s health condition. As to the definition of these four tags, Apple gives an official explanation.

Normaal: The battery is functioning normally.
Vervang binnekort: The battery is functioning normally but holds less charge than it did when it was new. You should monitor the health of the battery by checking the battery status menu periodically.
Vervang nou: The battery is functioning normally but holds significantly less charge than it did when it was new. You can safely continue using your computer, but if it’s lowered charging capacity is affecting your experience, you should take it to an Apple Store or Apple-authorized service provider.
Service Battery: The battery isn’t functioning normally. You can safely use your Mac when it’s connected to an appropriate power adapter, but you should take it to an Apple Store or Apple-authorized service provider as soon as possible.

Therefore, you can know more about your computer’s battery condition in this simple way. If your computer really appears a short battery life problem, you can check if it is related to your battery.

And if the battery has an issue, surely you should book a service and take your Mac to Apple Store for a battery replacement.
