Charge the battery
The MacBook Pro battery recharges whenever your MacBook Pro is connected to power.
Charge the battery. Connect your MacBook Pro to a power outlet using the included USB-C
Charge Cable and 61W or 87W USB-C Power Adapter.
You can charge your MacBook Pro using any of the Thunderbolt 3 ports on your computer. The
battery charges more quickly when the computer is off or in sleep.
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. The icon displays a lightning bolt when your MacBook Pro
is connected to power. Click the icon to show how much charge you have left if you keep using
your MacBook Pro as you’re currently using it.
Charged Charging
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 Pro is in sleep when a device is connected to it, the
device’s battery may drain.
