MacBook Pro 13-inch (2019) battery life On the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness, the MacBook Pro lasted an excellent 10 hours and 39 minutes, which outlasts the 8:51 from the Air.
Battery life Apple claims that the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019) offers 10 hours of browsing the web wirelessly, with 10 hours of iTunes film playback thanks to its 58.2 watt-hour lithium-polymer battery. Apple's tests are with the screen brightness set to 75%.
One place that the MacBook Air (2019) particularly shines in – and easily beats many Windows 10 rivals at this price point – is battery life, with this year's model lasting spot on 10 hours in our battery life tests. This involves running a looped 1080p video with the screen set to 50% brightness.
Apple claims the MacBook Pro 15-inch (2019) can handle 10 hours of wireless internet browsing, which seems to be its default claim for MacBook Pros these days.
Our research has shown that a MacBook Pro battery will last an average of 5 years before replacement! I've found that a single charge lasts on average 5-7 hours for Macbook Pros moderately used and under 3 years old.
It could last a few years longer if the battery is calibrated monthly and stored at 50% charge for shutdowns longer than 72 hours. A single charge typically lasts 4-6 hours on average. My Macbook Pro battery started lasting 4-6 hours on a single charge just a few months after purchase.
