Battery life on a MacBook Air 2018

I have a Macbook Air2018 and do mostly editing on it. I have to charge it every day. Is it normal for so many recharges? Can I replace the battery?

Most Apple products are designed to last a day on a full charge, so if you recharge it every day that's normal.

All seems fine, from what you've described.


For reference...

Troubleshooting MacBook Air Charge:

As for replacing that battery, that may not be necessary. Try troubleshooting it.



A. Black Mac Screen:

Using External Devices: Try Resetting the SMC and NVRAM, but this time, using an external keyboard. Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output.


B. Mac Power Issues:

Try a New Charger:

If it is currently charging from a charger, then use a new charger:
