I've ordered a replacement battery for my 15" macbook pro from 2007. Do I need to do anything besides put it in, charge it up, and calibrate it?

The second battery in my 2007 15" macbook pro has failed. I've ordered a new one; when I get it should I do anything besides put it in, charge it up, and calibrate it? Both of them worked properly at first, but within the first year I found my computer would shut down without warning shortly after starting to run it on the battery.

Perform a SMC Reset, it could be causing your battery problems.

I need to order a replacement battery for Model A1185. Where can I get one?

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

I've bought used MacBooks off of eBay for my family, nine of them so far over the last 6 years. I've bought 8 batteries off of eBay sellers, just going with the cheapest. Only had one with a problem, it gave out after 6 cycles. That one was replaced under the warranty by the seller. The only other batteries that have been a problem were Apple branded batteries that started bulging. I've had two of those happen.

I use an older Macbook Pro from 2007 with OS X 10.7 – had issues with Mavericks, so I uninstalled it. I want to get a trial version of AE CS6 but I need to know the specs for it.

Battery for Brand New MacBook Pro 17"

Hello,
I just purchased a new MacBook Pro 17".
What do I do with battery charing for the first use?
Apple's official battery resource: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html does not effectively answer the question.
It writes "Be sure to fully charge your portable when you plug it in for the first time, and then run Software Update to ensure you have the latest software."
The question then is, do I run down the battery completely the first time (but never plugging it in), and then when it goes to sleep, charge it all the way up to full?
I basically want to know what to do for the first time - how long do I let the battery run down if at all?
Thank you

Here's the dirty little secret about lithium batteries: Heat & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles are the two biggest killers of these batteries. Fact is, lithium batteries really don't like to be discharged below 40% of capacity very often. I'm typing this on a 4 1/2 year old MacBook Pro, and my battery is still going strong. It's fine to leave it plugged in all the time, that's what I do. Once every two-three months, I discharge it to about 40% & then recharge. So, charge yours till full, and try to never fully discharge the battery.

New macbook pro battery for late 2008 macbook pro dies fast.

I have a late 2008 macbook pro 2.4 HGz Intet Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram. I've had it since 2009 and just got a new battery, as the old one finally gave up. That being said, the new battery dies quite fast and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thank you

Only problem is that maybe the battery you were sold was manufactured around the same time as the Mac. And LiPo batteries die because of old age as well as use. Take it out and carefully examine all markings, especially anything that can date when it was made, like copyrights or such.
With that evidence you can go back and demand a refund.

Where can i order a replacement battery for my Macbook Pro

My battery is completely dead now and i cant even get my macbook on without it plugged in, and even then it struggles. i know its an easy change so rather than pay alot to get someone else to do it id rather change it myself and save some money. The model i need is an A1309.
Thanks

Try iFixit.com or Powerbookmedic.com. Amazon has had what appear to be OEM Apple batteries but I do not guarantee that.
Anything on e-bay is suspect and you may be just throwing your money away by purchasing there.
If you want certainty, get it from Apple and you will also get a warranty,
Ciao.

How can I order a replacement screen for my 2009 MacBook?

Also, will it be easy to change over? I haved owned this laptop for a little over four years, and the screen whites out unless held at a certain angle. The hardware operates smoothly so I only need to replace the screen. No Genius could fix it. Thanks!

Same here, the screen washed out, totally white, but the system's running fine. One gentle tap on the screen, everything's normal again. But things got worse and did not respond to the gentle tap any more, it required twisting the screen a bit and things flickered to normal. At this point sent it to Apple Service, they quoted Rs 26,000
(1 US$ = 60 Rupees) for replacing the screen. The system is already 4 years old, track pad click does not work, disk drive is not without problems and to make things worse the battery requires a replacement and the system is out of all kinds of warranties.
This made me reluctant to consider salvaging the screen, having researched on the situation, I came out twith the following options :
Replace the LCD screen at the cost quoted and hope nothing else packs up for the next 2 years at least.
Connect to external monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as a desktop with the clam shell closed.
Download this app 'Air Display' for iOS and OS X, mirror the screen wirelessly to an iPad placed in front of the regular screen (with brightness down to zero) and use it like a normal display but smaller than 13 inch. (there are many more advantages of this app too, for example, it works as a touch screen for OSX...ever heard of it ?)
last but not the least, do nothing about this, and things seem to work fine all of a sudden since the last 10 hours, i'm currently typing this text the regular way I did since Aug 2009 !!
But realised one more thing, that the system is getting hotter in the charging end, more than ever before, does it contribute to the worsening of screen / white out / frozen screen but not a brain dead computer)
Will let you know if things hold on this way for long.

Dimensions of battery for Unibody 15" Macbook Pro? ( MB772LL/A )

Apple does not list the dimensions on their website, so I'm asking. I'm primarily looking for a case (something like BuiltNY's neoprene ones) for the battery but without the dimensions it's kind of hard. Or, more to the point, do you know of anyone who sells a case specifically for the battery?

Do you already have your 15" uMBP? If so, just shut it down, flip it over, take out the battery and measure it with a ruler...

Replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)

replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001*(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)
I am trying to order the correct battery replacement - and that information is not on the bottom of the computer or on the lithium ion battery. I have determined the original replacement part, but when I order that part number*, it doesn't give me a place to enter quantity and does list the alternative part number. I am also wondering if I can substitute a 12 cell battery (from the model to battery listings match list).
[(VE06) EV088AA 432306-001/446506-001(6cell)] vs [(VE12) EV089AA 432307-001(12cell)]
thanks for your feedback,

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2 seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery? It doesn't hold a charge either...

EmadJamal,
the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

It is possible...
If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.

To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.
