Have you ever used Low Battery Mode on your iPhone? You may have activated it at some point, out of knowledge or if you used the shortcut that appears when you reach 20%. With macOS Monterey, Low Power Mode was used on MacBooks. Like everything from Apple it has one condition and that is that it can only be activated on a 2016 or later model if it is a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro. If you don’t have no recent model of Mac, don’t worry, in this post we will give you some Tips for saving power on your MacBook.
The latest M1 Macs offer incredible battery life
If you have a newer Mac, battery life is probably the least of your worries. I’ve been with a MacBook Air M1 for a few months and remembered what it was like to experience Apple and its laptops in its autonomy. However, there is some factors that can help you save energy in your equipment. It is positive to disable the functions in case you are not using them all the time.
The latest MacBook Pros with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips top battery life. Professional users are more surprised by the duration under extreme conditions of use than by the conservative ones of the battery. If you have any doubts about the conditions in which the battery of an M1 develops, firsthand and as you have been able to read in different news sources, this is simply out of the ordinary.
The opposite case. If you don’t have a recent model, these energy-saving tips on your MacBook will be useful
Having an Apple computer from years ago, I was desperate to save battery. Have you ever wondered how you can do this? Following this little guide from Apple’s official support, in addition to some advice that we can give you about our experience.
Battery in low power mode
Just as we started the article, this is the first tip and most important to save battery. Just go to “System Preferences” and click on the “Battery” section. If you are one of those users who use your Mac without being connected to power throughout the day and need an extra to get there, ** just enable the “Low Mode” feature. consumption”. **

Disconnect Bluetooth
Do you have any must-have Bluetooth accessories? This step may not work for you, but if you don’t connect any device such as headset, external keyboard or mouse, disconnect bluetooth might help you get a few extra minutes of battery life. This can also happen with Wi-Fi but here it is much more complicated since most of the time we connect to wireless networks.
Backlit keyboard disabled
Apple removed the direct shortcut for decrease or increase the intensity of the illuminated keyboard. Before it can be easily removed, it is now necessary enter the “Control Center” to be able to set it. Being in a perfectly lit environment does not require keyboard lighting.
Keyboard settings in macOS
When you’re using your Mac in a dark environment, there’s a nice tweak you can do. In “System Preferences” in the “Keyboard” section, enable the option to turn off the keyboard light if 5 seconds of inactivity have passed.
Lower screen brightness
One of the life-saving favourites, something classic, in addition to being very important for the eyes. When exposed to the sun or to see dark details in photography or video, it is inevitable to increase the brightness to the maximum. On the contrary, brightness can be kept at half or just below. This will help you take care of your visual health (use anti-reflective glasses if you are concerned about this problem).
Put MacBook to sleep to save power at key times
This is the first example that Apple puts in its guide and it seems very important to us. Turning your Mac off and back on (if it’s old) can consume resources. If you know you will be using your equipment at specific times of the day, don’t turn it off, just put it to rest immediately by clicking on the apple icon and on the “Sleep” option. You can also close the lid if that’s easier for you.
