Stefano Marinelli<p>MacBook Pro 16 (latest Intel, 2019 model, purchased in September 2020), meticulously maintained. In 2021, I handed it over to my wife, who keeps it on her desk, while I handle its management and maintenance. <br>For the past couple of days, the battery has been acting up. I've tried all the standard procedures (reset SMC, etc.), but it seems not to charge. <br>According to MacOS, everything is fine, but in reality, the battery seems dead. <br>Is it possible that an Apple battery dies after less than 3 and a half years and only 80 full charge cycles? </p><p>My very old MBP 2009 and MBP 2013 still have some battery life left (more than I would expect from such old machines), and yet this one dies like this? <br>The estimate for replacement: 289 euros.</p><p>This seems like a crazy situation.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MacBookPro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacBookPro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MacBookProRetina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacBookProRetina</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MBP</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BatteryIssues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BatteryIssues</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mac</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Battery</span></a></p>
