Battery Life n

I had to have the battery in my MacBook Pro (13") replaced two weeks ago. The new battery barely makes it through a one hour Zoom meeting even though it's charged to 100% when the meeting started. Is that normal?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Zoom is a power hog, but try resetting the SMC.

If you have an Intel Mac you can reset the SMC by doing this:

Shut down your Mac
Press Shift-Control-Option and the power button at the same time on the left side of the built-in keyboard for about 10 seconds.
Release all keys
Power on and enjoy your Mac
