Default settings for pmset -g?
I remember changing some values to disable Deep sleep mode and hibernation a few months ago, and realised that my battery drains faster now. I just want to revert all settings to default. I changed some back such as hibernationmode 3
, but not sure if I'm missing anything else.
Are these values normal for a 15" Retina Macbook Pro ?
(I'd appreciate if anyone can crosscheck with theirs if you didn't tamper with the settings in pmset -g
)

One can use pmset restoredefaults
, or in System Preferences > Energy Saver, click the Restore Defaults button.
If you want to see what changed, one can use pmset -g custom
before and after restoring the defaults.
This worked for me, and is documented in man pmset
, in macOS Mojave 10.14.5.
pmset -g
default settings vary by model.
Configuration profiles for AC/Battery/UPS differ on a model by model basis, but the numerical value assigned to the default profiles (rather than custom) respectively remains the same. Thus, you can always revert to pmset defaults by running the following command. I've appended pmset -g
to the command so the current configuration is shown after running it:
pmset -c 2 -b 1 -u 1; pmset -g
You can confirm these are the defaults after running the command by opening
System Preferences > Energy Saver
and seeing that the "Restore to Defaults"
option is greyed out.
Here's my configuration on AC:

…and on battery:

Please note that I do have a MacBook Pro 13" (Non-retina), however that shouldn't matter.
I don't know if I've changed anything, but these are my settings:
