My macbook pro battery has degraded quite a lot in a span of 1.5 years, right now it gets fully discharged in less than 1hr. I have i5, 16gb mbp, Has anyone gone through similar stage? Do I’ve any options except to replace the battery?

I had the i9 one before we upgraded to the m1 max. i9 became horrible for me as well, it lasted for about 2 hours max on full charge + the temps went super high. I would suggest to see if your company is okay with upgrading to the m1 models, the difference is huge when it comes to battery and thermals.

@strong-evening-37474 Hmm I see. Do you happen to know any registered shops which does such exchange? Basically giving them i5 mbp to get M1/M2 with certain discount?

every APM (apple premium reseller) would do that. Unicorn, Aptronix or Maple whichever has a store near you I would suggest to give them a call and ask how much discount would they offer for this device. They might ask you for pictures and serial number to check the health

@miniature-exabyte-51670 I used to have battery issues, I have been using AlDente to make sure lifespan of the battery is longer.

@miniature-exabyte-51670 have an old macbook - I have replaced the battery twice. I had to replace the battery within 1-2 years of replacing it the first time. After the second replacement I installed aldente and have been using the battery for around 3+ years with good charge

So buying AlDente Pro did help you right?
