MacBook is running even with 0% battery #respect

Or bug?

I'm a windows laptop and this offends me.

The displayed percentage often isn't as precise as the manufacturers would like.

I read somewhere that certain charging patterns can confuse the calculations a bit due to voltage spikes in the battery.

@h3ll Mommy told me I could be anything I wanted to be

My old ASUS used to run with NaN% battery for hours.

I've seen Windows & Linux desktops run with 0% battery :p

My current laptop looses 30-40% in just 10 minutes but can work at -1% for nearly half an hour

@fbomb
Saweet!!

Pff my desktop runs WITHOUT a battery!

Which MacBook model is that?

Mine went to -1% one time..

Well, in programming number starts from 0.

I'm using Surface book and never used the charging cable during my working day

@Koolstr looks like an Air of some kind...

But I would guess this is somewhat related to the issues the newest MBPs are having with wildly varying battery life.

I read today that the latest MBP is the first one that Consumer Reports has chosen not to recommend in like 10 years -- all due to the battery issues. They said in their testing, the results ranged from 4.5 to 20 hours on a single charge -- all under the exact same performance load (completely idle, screen on, just looking at the desktop).
