Check the battery’s charge. Look at the battery status icon at the right of the menu bar to see
the battery level or charging status. Click the icon to show how much power you have left if you
keep using the apps, peripheral devices, and system settings you’re now using.
ChargedCharging
Conserve battery power. To extend battery life on a given charge, you can reduce the display
brightness, close apps, and disconnect peripheral devices you’re not using. You can change your
power settings in Energy Saver preferences (click the System Preferences icon in the Dock,
then click Energy Saver). If your MacBook is in sleep when a device is connected to it, the device’s
battery may drain.
