Battery Service Message

I am getting a message about my battery:

Important Battery Message:

"The battery's capacity is significantly reduced. To restore capacity, please check your service options".

Not sure what to do about this. Ever since the last software update to my Macbook Air, the battery life is significantly impacted. Any suggestions would help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Sounds like your battery needs replacing? What does it say when clicking on the battery icon whilst holding down the option (alt) key?


if it says Service Recommended or similar then book an appointment at your nearest Apple Store or Authorised Repair Centre for a diagnosis asap.


Good luck
