Inspected the battery for any oddities or swelling, found nothing. Removed my battery and checked the inside of my computer forĬorrosion or any other type of damage found nothing. I shut down some apps and it started charging. Mac air battery not charging mac#
I decided that my mac couldnt charge, unless it was cooled down. What I felt was heat and the fan running really fast. I checked the battery and it was plugged in with USB-C, but not charging. Which seems well under the expected failure point I had the same problem, except I am on catalina with a new MacBook Air.
Checked the cycle count which is currently sitting at about ~310. Downloaded coconut battery and that also shows as "normal". Option + clicked on the battery to see a report and it shows as. The orange light on the MagSafe charger is on when plugged in. I just tried to power it on for the first time the other day and it boots up, while plugged in, and loads seemingly normal but when the computer is finally completely started up the battery is indicated as "not charging" when clicking on the icon from the taskbar and the percentage is stuck at 1%. So, it had been a few months since I last used it (new job, work computer, travel all the time) and I realized the charger had been disconnected at some point meaning the battery had been likely sitting there completely dead for days, weeks, possibly months which I understand is not great for a Lithium-Ion battery? It's never really left my room/desk and I've gone far out of my way to keep it in this condition because of how much I like this computer. I have an early 2015 MacBook Air (A1466) that I've kept in great condition over the years. I have searched far and wide to try and solve this issue but have had 0 luck.
