Why does my Mac say power source battery not charging?
The Battery Status menu on your Mac laptop might say “Not Charging,” even if it's connected to power. This can happen for a few reasons: Your computer temporarily paused charging to extend the life of your battery. Your battery may drain to 93% or lower before it begins charging again.
Why does my Mac say power source power adapter?
It means that the unit has fully charged the battery, and is running directly off the A/C adapter. The circuitry inside the power board will manage whether the batter gets any current or not; for the most part it won't, but it will occasionally trickle voltage in to keep the battery fully charged.
How do you fix a Mac charger that won't charge?
Make sure the USB-C port on the power adapter and the USB-C connector are clear of any debris. Restart your Mac. Connect the USB-C power adapter to the wall outlet, connect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to the power adapter and to your Mac, then try charging again.
Why is my battery not charging when plugged in?
Common culprits include a faulty motherboard, damaged charging circuits, and malfunctioning battery sensors. Your particular make and model of laptop will likely have its own unique issues, and a seasoned tech support operator will have seen all of them.
