MacBook Air Battery Life Guide

Getting Started

If you own a MacBook Air or planning to buy one, it’s important to learn how to manage its battery life.

This guide is for anyone who wants to maximize their MacBook Air’s battery life and get the most out of their device.

How To

  1. Adjust your screen brightness. Lowering the screen brightness can significantly extend your MacBook Air’s battery life. To do this, go to System Preferences > Displays and adjust the brightness slider.
  2. Close unnecessary apps and tabs. Running multiple apps and tabs can drain your MacBook Air’s battery quickly. Close any unnecessary apps and tabs to conserve battery life.
  3. Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can drain your battery even when you’re not using them. Turn them off when you’re not connected to a network or using a Bluetooth device.
  4. Use energy-saving features. macOS has built-in energy-saving features that can help extend your MacBook Air’s battery life. Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver to adjust these settings.
  5. Keep your MacBook Air cool. High temperatures can reduce your MacBook Air’s battery life. Keep it in a cool place and avoid using it on soft surfaces that can block the airflow.

Best Practices

  • Lower your screen brightness.
  • Close unnecessary apps and tabs.
  • Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use.
  • Use energy-saving features.
