Solutions for a MacBook that won't fully charge

There can be several reasons why your MacBook does not fully charge. Below we have listed some common causes and give you tips on how to solve these problems.

Check the charging cable and adapter

A common cause of this problem is a faulty charging cable or adapter. Check if they are working properly by testing them with another MacBook. If the charging cable or adapter is faulty, you can replace it.

Reset the SMC

The SMC (System Management Controller) is responsible for many functions on your MacBook, including charging the battery. Sometimes resetting the SMC can fix the problem. Follow the instructions on the Apple support page to reset the SMC.

Check the battery condition

Your MacBook’s battery has a limited lifespan. Over time, the battery’s capacity can decrease. You can check the battery’s health by clicking the battery icon in the menu bar while holding down the Option key.

Update your software

Sometimes the problem can be caused by outdated software. Make sure your MacBook is always up to date by performing regular software updates.
