Apple's power management isn't as great as everyone claims.

I've an older MacBook Air with a severe battery drain problem.

The battery will last maybe a day or two when SHUT DOWN (not sleep) before being fully drained and refuses to power on.

It's done this since day one.

I tried resetting everything possible which could be reset and nothing helped.

Allegedly the problem is related to a Bluetooth radio which does not shut down properly but as usual Apple is tight-lipped, and the cult members that moderate their community forum try to gaslight you into believing the computers are perfect and you're doing something wrong.

Eventually I just gave up and lugged the power adapter everywhere.

I’m not doubting you’re having a problem, but as counterpoint I have owned and bought for others more than 20 MacBook Airs and Pros the last 10 years - all with flawless power management.
