macbook pro 2016 with touchbar battery issue

I have macbook for 3rd day and charged it ~2nd time. battery is living for 5-6 hours of browsing the internet on full brightness. When I just charged Mac it showed me 4:30 hours of work. also remaining time is changing(for example right after the charging it showed me 4:30 hours left, after some time it's showing 5 hours left) is it normal battery life? How many hours does model without touchbar living?

Unfortunately I couldn't insert screenshot of time remaining, so here is that info:

Time remaining right after full charging - 4:38 hours

coconutBattery info after ~10 minutes of using

I am having this exact same issue with a 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.  At first I thought it may have been a problem from having used Migration Assistant, so I wiped the machine completely and started fresh, reconfiguring from scratch (which took me an entire day since my setup is complex).  I am not running the screen at full brightness, but I still get an estimated charge of 4:30 immediately after disconnecting from power at 100% charge.

It seems just about any software that I need for my daily tasks (Atom, Brave browser, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) drains the battery immediately upon launching (just launching Photoshop usually results in a 1% drop in charge indicator) and I have yet to maintain a charge for longer than 5 hours since purchasing the machine.

I'm pretty upset about this, as it is impractical for me to constantly be attached to a power source (that's what a desktop machine is for!) and this is literally half the advertised battery life for this machine!

same here ... I'm very disappointed ... my "old" MacBook Pro (2015) lasts for about 8 hours (doing my work) ... now I have to charge after 3-4 hours (with the same work)

Just wanted you let you know that I'm in the same situation. As soon as you do anything the battery gives only nearly 4 hours of activity.

Same here, only got about 6 hrs of use. After contacting Apple support and troubleshooting, there was no change in performance. I finally decided to return...

I have the same problem with a fully loaded MacBook Pro 13 with touch bar. Not sure if it's my particular computer or it is a general situation. Never got the advertised 10h, not even close. Roughly 5-5.5h on a full charge, using only Safari and/or Microsoft Word with brightness at ~60%. Will call support later.

I have the same battery problem of my new Macbook pro with touch bar. it just last about 5 hours. I will appreciate Apple can give the solution.

Same here, on a 13" Touch Bar MacBook Pro, System Information reckons I have 4326mAh as my full capacity (only 1014 more than my Nexus 6P...) to give about 5 hours.  This is a replacement unit as I thought my first one might be faulty, but actually the battery is just terrible and 10 hours is simply a lie.

I am also victim of the dreaded battery drain on the new MBP with touch bar. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours on my 13" fully specced machine. I have ordered a replacement from apple which arrives next week.

Whilst waiting for the new one to arrive I have also been experiencing problems with my Time Machine backups failing. Whilst troubleshooting this with Apple over the phone, we discovered that my HDD is showing it's SMART Status as "Not Supported". This is obviously a fault. The support engineer susects that this is very likely the cause of the battery problems I'm experiecning as well. Might be worth checking if you are seeing a similar problem with your HDD (can be viewed in Disk Utility when focussing on the physical drive). I hope my replacement does not have this same issue!

My battery life is just as bad. I average around 4 hours. I even tested 50% brightness and just web browsing and it didn't change. If I use Lightroom or Photoshop it goes down to sround 3 hours. That's what my 4 year old rMBP was getting. I think the video card is a major contributor as I also have issues with it pixelating parts of screen at times and have also had a hard time coming out of sleep mode if I'm connected to an external monitor.

Today I've returned my 13" MacBook Pro Touch Bar. Hope the new one will have better battery time ...

Please update us about your replacement computer... I'm thinking about having mine exchanged too.

Not that there seems to be any resolution to this but adding to the thread in the hope that it helps the issue get acknowledge by Apple. I have the same issue on MacBook Pro with Touchbar 13". Maximum battery life is 5 hours even before I open any apps. Have never got close to it showing ten hours, even with all apps closed and immediately after removing the power cable. Closest has been 8 hrs but this dropped to 4 hours within 20 minutes of normal usage (Safari browsing with e-mail app running). Have been on to multiple agents at Apple who suggested PRAM and SMC resets (which did not help).

Worked all day with powered on. This evening worked without power only on battery on my max out new MacBook Pro 15 - just did internet browsing with chrome and outlook email - battery depleted after only 3h 1/2 - thinking of returning it and going back to my old and heavy 17" 2011

I have a related question for everyone. I am also getting terrible battery life. My battery seems to die after about 5 1/2 hours of general surfing. That said though, in looking at the Activity Monitor -> Energy -> Graphic Card I see that my computer claims that it is never switching to the built-in graphic card it is always using "High Perf." even though I have no apps running that require that.

Does anyone else have this too, or do you know how I can force it to use the built-in card so that I can see if there is a difference?
