charging

I know for a fact that macbooks around/before 2016 might have had a usb short circuit protection because I've seen these images online- and heard stories where people have connected Faulty/shorted USB-A cables to their macbooks which resulted in one of 3 things- 1.) USB port getting...

Last month my 16" 2021 MBP was in its "paused charging" mode I let it enter every odd week as I usually keep it plugged in all the time. But after coming out of a meeting, I noticed by the green charger LED that it had suddenly charged to 100%? I opened the lid and the screen had dimmed as if I...

Macbook running 12.6.3 but this has been a problem forever. Did a full reinstall and had the same experience. Using a USB-C cable, I directly plug in a phone or a battery pack into my Macbook which is 1) fully charged and 2) plugged into the wall. The MacBook says "hey, a cell phone? I better...

Hey, I have been trying to find an answer to this question. It seems there is no answer online. What are the minimum power adapter requirements to charge my Apple Watch Series 7? I have some Samsung chargers lying around that I would like to use them. I am using this power adapter with the...

A few months ago I first noticed that my iPhone 13 stopped charging when it was plugged in and I picked it up in the morning, indicated by the battery icon. It didn't make any noise or vibrate when the icon changed to charging again half a second later and I thought it was nothing. But it kept...

I have a problem where my phone won't charge in my car. I purchased the $100 Belkin Boost 15W QI charger and the iPhone 14 Pro battery just keeps draining while I am driving. If I'm in low power mode, it might stay at the same level. I also notice the 14 Pro won't charge with low voltage USB...

I usually only use it while it's plugged in, but I do unplug it for several hours every day to not have it sit in the charger 24/7. But around a month ago, I noticed that I was losing battery charge as I was using my iPad while it was plugged in? I tried unplugging and plugging it back in again...

Good Morning, I have 2 questions if I may, First I know the internal fan is vented through the back of my laptop, Is it better to charge with screen open or closed, as in restriction of air flow. Second, I use a Pad with two fans installed that I use during charging and high heat (room...

Today, I pop in my 1st gen AirPods Pro, and one of the earbuds does nothing. I try things, long story short, I'm literally walking near an Apple Store and turn back to take my non-functioning bud in to see if they can fix it. Nice Genius Bar guy tests it and says my case battery is toast! My...

I'm using an iPhone 13, and my phone typically has 20% battery left, which I'll be charging. I have seen some sayings that you should charge your iPhone with 40%-50% remaining power. This is the most friendly way to the battery of the mobile phone and can better protect the battery of the...

Hello. I have a few questions regarding chargers. Will using old lightning cables damage my new iPhone 14 Pro Max’s charging port? There are worn out/corroded marks right below the white rectangle on the old charging cable I own, does that scratch, scrape, dent, or damage the surrounding...

I am super confused by all the info out there on how to treat my battery right on the Iphone 14 pro. My family charges overnight to 100 percent I was told thats bad and you should never charge to 100 and never overnight. I was also warned not to let it drop below 40 so I get nervous by the...

Hi, sorry to open a thread for this but I couldn't find anyone else having posted about a similar problem. I was wondering this morning about my AirPods Pro (1st gen) settings. I was pretty much sure that I had enabled optimized batterie charging in the past, but when I checked this morning it...

Does connecting my 2018 15.6" MacBookPro (Mojave) to the monitor (Dell C2722DE) overheat the laptop ? That sound (fan I think?) is always on when monitor is connected - if I switch off the monitor and use only the MacBookPro, the sound fades away. Does monitor require more energy from the laptop...

Anyone knows why this might happen? Happens once a week more or less. iPhone 13 Mini, 2 month old with battery health still at 100%

There is so much out there... just need some advice... Thanks!

I have an Anker USB 3.0 (USB Type A) charger that can output 5V/2.4A for a maximum of 12W per port. When I charge my iPhone with a USB-A to Lightning cable, it pulls the full 12W. But when I use a USB 3.0 Type A to USB-C cable to charge my M1 MacBook Air, it only pulls 5W from the charger...

A couple months ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (2022 model) from Apple direct. I enjoy this compact and powerful cellphone, even though I am new to iPhone. (My previous smartphones over the last several years were Motorola Android phones.) Here's a question I have about charging. I...

I just found out that when you are charging your AirPods Pro that you can knock on the surface it is on and it will light up the light on the charging case. That way you know if it's already fully charged (green light) or still charging (orange light). I found out when I put my glass on the...

Anyone else doesn't like that they switched back to Magsafe for the new Macbook Pros? I preferred usb-c because of 3 reasons: 1) I could charge on both sides of the laptop, depending on the most convenient 2) I could use standard cables to share with other devices 3) Before I had 4 usb-c ports...
