kerochan Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi, I have been using my Macbook Air with no problems running Logic, I have been using it mostly by battery power, on long train, van, plane journeys, with high brightness, and turned up loud through headphones. Its almost 2 years old, I have been getting about 9 hours+ with the battery running Logic, now, over the past few weeks the battery will only last about 3 hours at a push. I have attached the system report, it says battery normal! Do I need to replace the battery? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgreenblue Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think you should count your self fortunate to have had such long sessions until now. On my Air (which is 11". so a smaller battery) I rarely got more than 2 hours if I was running Logic. Those #s do indicate that your battery is healthy.

Thank you redgreenblue, I heard that the 11" has a shorter battery life, thats why I opted for the 13", I thought it would be a few years before the battery life would decrease however.

David Nahmani Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I agree, 9+ hours on a single charge sounds unusually long!! Even for a 13". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree David, I was really surprised, but thats what I was getting, until recently, sadly, not sure what I meant to do. Even just with normal use, emails etc, I am only getting 3 hours.
