How to know if the battery status of a MacBook is good

Apple MacBook computers include a tool in their operating system that allows you to know in a fairly approximate way the health of one of the components that are essential in laptops: its battery. We tell you how to review it and exactly what it is for. We are talking about the function that allows us to know the charge cycles that the battery carries, which is generally synonymous with the useful life that it has left. Therefore, we are talking about an option that is very positive to know so as not to find yourself with the bad experience of another, a very important drop in autonomy without you knowing exactly what is happening. What are charge cycles in MacBooks? This measure indicates the number of times that the full battery power has been consumed and, in this way, an estimate of the number of times left for a degradation can be established. which is impossible to avoid on this type of hardware. This is motivated by the fact that the charging cycles are limited -and it is not possible to increase them in any way-. And what exactly is a charge cycle? Well, every time all the energy that fits in the battery has been consumed and, furthermore, this does not have to be all at once -since the information contemplates that you refill the battery without affecting the number you obtain because it adds without problems the What do you do day after day? Even this information can make you decide to change the component so that you do not notice any negative effect on the use time of the Apple MacBook. How to review the charging cycles you have consumed To know the information we are talking about, you should not install any application because everything you need is present in the macOS operating system. In addition, executing the process in question is extremely simple, so in a matter of a few seconds you can know exactly how many charge cycles you have already consumed on your Apple laptop. What you have to do is the following, being the option that we show the one that we believe is more intuitive to carry out: Access the Apple menu that exists in MacBooks and, then, select the option About this Mac that you will see on the screen. Now, among the options that are available, you must use About the system… and, in the window that opens, use the Energy section that is on the left. There is a section called Battery information among the things you see and this is where the charge cycles used (as well as the health of the component and the maximum capacity it maintains) are visible. With that done, you are done and know everything you need from your MacBook battery. >
