It’s natural to look at your power adapter for signs of wear, like a crushed portion, fraying cable insulation, bent or marked AC plug blades, dirty or bent parts of the laptop connector, or other signs of problems. Usage History in Big Sur reveals the pattern of charging on your laptop. This chart may reveal a pattern of slow failure. Lithium-ion batteries face additional wear when fully charged all the time, which reduces battery life.
Starting in Big Sur, Apple automatically throttles and adjusts your charging pattern to reduce stressing the battery: it no longer charges the battery to 100 percent at all times, but based on your usage, keeps it at 80 percent whenever possible. In Big Sur, you can also use the Battery preference pane’s Usage History view to examine how and when your battery has been in use and when it’s been recharged. If you deplete to 50 percent on two successive days and recharge to 100 percent, it counts as one cycle.) (A cycle measures 100 percent of the capacity discharged, not the time between being unplugged and plugged back in. The more cycles, the lower total capacity the battery has remaining, though it should be both years and hundreds of cycles before you see degradation below 80 percent. The Cycle Count isn’t the number of times you’ve charged, but rather the total capacity of the battery divided by the total energy every used. Look for Condition there, where you can also see Cycle Count and, on certain models and versions of macOS, Maximum Capacity. In Big Sur through many earlier releases, you can hold down the Option key and select > System Information and click the Power item under Hardware in the left-hand navigation bar. If the battery dies entirely, an X appears through the battery icon, and the message reads No Battery Available. You may also see one of a number of other messages that Apple doesn’t document, such as Service Recommended, Replace Soon, or Replace Now, all of which have a little more urgency, as the operating system has deemed the battery holds a charge poorly, or even not at all. The condition should be listed as Normal, but if the battery’s maximum capacity has dropped below a certain point (which Apple doesn’t specify), it might say Service Battery. The second wire winding turns the newly created electric field into a smaller alternating electric current.Big Sur shows the current battery parameters, but not battery health. In short, an AC Adaptor converts the electric currents received by the electrical outlet into a typically lower alternating current that an electronic device can use.
It should be able to charge your MacBook, albeit slowly. You can simply plug the cable into your MacBook and charge it from an outlet.

Can you Charge MacBook with USB-C?ĭepending on the version of the MacBook that you're currently using, you can charge it using an Android USB Type C phone charger. The circuitry inside the power board will manage whether the batter gets any current or not for the most part it won't, but it will occasionally trickle voltage in to keep the battery fully charged.
It means that the unit has fully charged the battery, and is running directly off the A/C adapter. Release the end of the MagSafe AC power adapter cable and allow it to snap into place inside the socket.
