MacBook Air battery won't charge A month ago I replaced the battery in my late 2015 MacBook Air which runs Monterey 12.4 OS. No problems at that time - battery indicator in menu bar as I conditioned new battery. The computer remained connected to mains power until we recently travelled to the Philippines. Now the battery will not charge when connected to mains power. Computer now has very limited portability. What is the problem? There is no battery icon in the menu bar There is no battery appearing in the System Preferences main menu there is no Battery option in the Dock & Menu Bar - other options (only Accessibility Shortcuts and Fast User Switching) Screen shot of System Report - Power - Battery Information follows

New Mac Battery Drain Issue I purchased a new (not refurbished) Macbook Air M2 256gb/16gb 3 days ago. However, my battery has been draining rapidly (we're talking 100% to 10-15% in 3-3.5 hours) ever since I bought it. For the first 2 days I was just setting up the Mac and didn't even use Chrome for very long. I don't know if I should take it to the service center or wait for a few days to see if the battery stabilises. Has anyone else faced a similar issue? Any comments would be super helpful and greatly appreciated!

Battery report "poor' - remedy to return to normal? My 2017 Macbook Air (macOS Monterey) has suddenly reported a 'poor' battery. It appears to be as a result of several hours of downloading my recent travel videos to UTube. Downloading was done while charging and via Safari. The battery has always been 100%. I am really hoping the battery will revert back to its usual 100% - but any suggestions as to bring this about more rapidly? Do i need to have concerns? Thank you.

Try and update to the latest version of Sonoma (14.4.1) first. After that try and go to settings>battery. What is stated there?
