I've got a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 Macbook Pro (yes, the one with the touchbar and the keyboard nobody likes)...
Anyway, it's been working great, aside from this issue which seems to happen on occasion, when I don't keep it plugged in overnight. It will just drain real fast sometimes.
What causes batteries to just drain over the course of an hour or so?
i just went thru a similar thing with the same laptop. wiped it and the problem stayed. my battery didnt say service was needed tho. the lateat update caused to to idle super warm and no processes were taking up a noticeable drain. very frustrating.
i do a lot of freelance work so i finally just bit the bullet and bought a new laptop.
the funny thing is, this laptop is still pretty good for Dev and photo work. anyways good luck, it feels like planned upgrades to me.
Yeah, I love the thing. Replacing the battery is going to be either extremely risky/time consuming to DIY or expensive if I send it somewhere.
I might just scrap it.
