MacBook Pro Battery drain issue solved

My 2018 MacBook Pro from the last couple of years has been facing battery drain issue after I shut down the laptop - almost around 50% would be drained overnight.


After going through multiple forums and YouTube, I found the following solution that worked for me. From 50% drain overnight, its come down to about 8% overnight - which is liveable for me. This solution has been provided at different places, hope this works for you too!


Before shutting down your laptop, do the following:

  1. turn off the bluetooth
  2. turn off the wifi
  3. Turn on Caps lock - so you now see the led light on the Caps lock key
  4. Shutdown the laptop
  5. Wait until the Caps lock led lights turns off before you close the laptop screen/lid


This worked for me. Hope this helps!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0
