Louis Rossman says (in a general YT video) there may be cheaper, 3rd party batteries, tho an independent repair store probably knows sources... tho I prefer power banks coz they are cheaper yet quite useful.

61% (laptop, after doing VM work)
56% (phone, since it sat in Flight mode it didn't drop much)

Up to 85%, charging; still awake cause pain/trauma

Can a power bank charge a 7 year old mac? I don't plan to sink any money into this at all; it was cheap af second hand and there's a problem with the screen. already lost money fixing the trackpad when shippers smashed it :/

A large one probably can, search for laptop / mac power banks, the good part about them is they can charge different devices too so it isn't locked into the specific mac.

55% (laptop, sasu browsing, plus terminal 2048 game... which doesn't use much battery)
55% (mobile, flight mode)

the battery actually lasts a good while. if im just browsing no media, it last at least half the day. honestly i dont think it needs service at all and the message is bs

:sunglasses:
ahhh yep, the "battery may be deteriorated" message on my phone is also too conservative... I think it triggers when the detected capacity decreased to 80% of its original lifespan. When the Dell capacity (of original battery) decreased to 50% of original lifespan, windows 7 told me "consider replacing your battery, the system may shut down unexpectedly".

46% laptop (finding good chemistry deals but 25kg is wayyyy too much, I'd literally need a few grams of the chemicals... and I probably could find already existing data instead)
55% mobile (now to bring it out of flight mode, shut down laptop, and head home... cya)

using it to you cant anymore are the only rational thing to do.

phone 65% from about 1-2 year old, last one from drowned in beer... ;-;

100% but for some reason,if i dont leave my laptop plugged in,it quickly degrades in 10 minutes.

Lenovo TUF laptops if anyone has those,i think the battery's fragility was the same when i bought it so meh it sucks honestly
