Battery drains quickly after upgrading Macbook to EL capitan

If you noticed your battery life has diminished since upgrading your mac book to el capitan. It is very possible that the OS has changed your battery mode to high performance or some apps are responsible.

1. Visit System Preferences, go to Energy Saver, and make sure that your sleep mode settings are just how you prefer them. Pay special attention to the apps that require your Mac to be awake. Switch off “required” apps that may be keeping your Mac running at odd times. You should also try quitting out of iTunes, your printer, and any running third party apps.

2. Check your Wi-Fi settings and your apps to make sure that no apps are stuck in a permanent download state. If they are, delete and reload them via the Update section of the App Store.

3. If your settings and startup seem especially sluggish or a bit noisy, you can try resetting your PRAM. Go to the Apple Menu and use Shut Down to turn off your computer. Turn your Mac back on, and as it starts up hold down the Option-Command-P-R keys before the logo screen can appear. Hold these keys until your computer automatically reboots. This will restore startup functions to factory settings and may help your problem.
