MBP 15 2.66Ghz removable battery... long time to charge (4 to 5 hours)?

My MBP (early 2009) model with removable battery, just bought refurbished from Apple takes between 4 to 5 hours to fully charge from low battery while suspended (sleep).
Battery shows as healthy condition Normal Capacity shows as 4519 mAh. Cycles shows 3.
Is this normal behavior?
Tia,
David

I just purchased a refurbished unit and am having this same issue. Battery life seems okay but it takes around five hours to charge. My previous Macbook Pro only took 2 hours max.
The specs on my machine is 2.4ghz, 2 gig, 250 GB HD.
If I find something out I will let you know.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1414 After installing ios 7, my ipad 2 is taking a long time to charge, like 8 hours and not holding the charge. Help

    After installing IOS7 on my IPad2, it takes a very long time to charge and does not hold the charge. Should I uninstall IOS7, how do you do that? HELP!!

    Do you have the cover on your ipad? If so you may need to go into settings>General and turn on lock/ unlock so that it goes into standby when cover is closed. Not sure this is your problem but it was why my battery didn't last long. As far as long charge time goes I have noticed it is taking longer to charge also. Hope they fix some of these bugs in the first update.

  • Why does my iPad Air takes a long time to charge?

    Why does my iPad Air takes a long time to charge?

    You need to provide more detail. What do you mean by "a long time?" Are you charging it plugged into a wall socket?

  • I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour

    I have just bought iphone 5 and i have a problem in charging it , firstly it took a long time to charge when i opened it to the first time , and its nearly dont charge on 110 output, and its taking a long time to charge on 220 reaches 50% in 1 hour is this normal?

    The charger block is universal and is able to handle multiple votages.  One hour to reach 50% seems fine to me if the phone was completely flat to start with.  Just leave it on charge for as long as it takes to reach 100%.  I leave mine connected overnight all the time and it does not harm the battery

  • Iphone seems to take a long time to charge when plugged in to USB

    Hi MyIphone seems to take a long time to charge when plugged in to USB. Is this normal? Less power coming from the Laptop than wall plug?

    Wow.. this completely amazes me. USB is 5v. Some computers (especially laptops) will shut off power to USB devices when the computer enters power saving mode. Very few will lower the power (since this could actually damage a device). I have noticed no difference in charge time between USB and the wall plug (I use the wall plug mostly when I travel, and USB at home). The only difference I can see is the wall wart puts out slightly more amperage then a USB port.

  • Is there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?

    s there any problem for my iphone's battery to keep my charger connecting for few hours after the battery is full?
    Sometimes i sleep and the my iphone is charging and of course the battery became full after two or three hours, and definitely i will not wake up in the midnight to just disconnect the charger, please i need your help.

    This is considered normal use. I think everybody does this, including myself. It's not something to worry about in the least bit.
    Just remember to complete a full charge cycle (allow the phone's battery to discharge to 10%-20%, then charge uninterruped to 100%) once a month and you'll be fine.

  • New BB Z30 Freezing, Docs are unable to Open, microSD card automatically formatted after restart, unable to open Some Pictures, Long time for Charging

    I purchased a new BlackBerry Z30 recently from http://store.shopblackberry.com/store/bbrryus/en_US/pd/productID.298806900/categoryID.66826600/paren... and my Phone Model number is STL 100-5. I also purchased a Z30 Leather flip case manufactured by BlackBerry. I am using my BlackBerry Z30 along with the Z30 Leather flip case.
    1) Within the first 2 weeks of receiving and using the new BB Z30 device, I noticed a problem of screen not responding some times. My phone has been freezed at the lock screen. My phone is not responding to any key except for the power button. So, I had an option of only restart/Turn Off my BlackBerry Z30 device. All the time whenever I had this problem, I have to restart my device in order to make it work properly again. I complained about this issue with BlackBerry Technical Support. They assisted me to reset the device to factory settings by taking a full backup. After reset also, I still had the same issue.
    2) I am using Sandisk Extreme microSD card of 32GB with my BB Z30 device. Some times due to the restart option, all the data which I had on my microSD card is being erased and is filled with an unknown files.
    3) I'm also unable to open some pictures which I have taken using BlackBerry Z30. As I observed, most of the pictures which I taken using Blackberry Z30 are unable to be open/view them after a few days. Still, I am able to observe the properties of those pictures. They are in JPEG format only.
    4)Also If I create a Word Document on BlackBerry Z30 using Docs to Go Application and saved it. After closing that particular document and If I try to open it, the document file is not opening and projecting me an error of "This is not a valid .Doc file", but while I check the properties of that particular document it is in .doc format. I tried to transfer the file to my laptop using bluetooth. After a few seconds (approx 2-3 seconds) automatically the transferring is cancelled by the BlackBerry Z30 device. However, I tried to transfer the file within that short time using Bluetooth. While I tried to open it on my laptop using Microsoft Office 2013, the file is displaying with a squares of upto 4 pages while I had a content in it of 3 lines only. While I opened my file using Microsoft Office 2013, there is only squares available in that document.
    5)  My new BlackBerry Z30 is taking a long time of approximately 6-7 hours to charge the device from 10% to 100%
    I request someone to help me with this issues. I would like to thank everyone who can help me with these issues in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On 7th of Jan 2015 I made my device to factory reset. Also I removed microSD card from my device. As I observed for these 3 days, one time while I received a missed call, I tried to have a look at it. I observed that my screen has been freeze at the receiving call position and its not responding. I tried to close and reopened the display of my device with a flip case which I'm currently using for my device. At this time, after 3-4 swipes to unlock the device, again its back into working condition.
    About Documents, I'm able to create, save and open the documents without any issues till now.
    About Pictures, they are also working fine without any issues.
    I also observed the charging time as approximately 3 hours for charging the device from 14% to 100%.

  • MBP won't start on battery even tho its charged.

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Book Pro which I bought sometime in April. Just yesterday, when I unplugged the AC adaptor, the computer shut down, even though the battery says it is fully charged.
    The green lights on the battery itself are all on.
    When I try to start up my Macbook without the AC adaptor, it turns on for a second(i hear the superdrive turning), then it shut downs again. I just got this computer..whats the deal . Good thing I have apple care.
    Oh, I tried to restart the PMU. I shutdown comp, take ac adaptor out, and battery out, and click on the power button for five seconds. Still no progress. I saw another thread on this..let me see if it'll help.

    I report another case of the identical problem: The MBP will not start on battery alone, though it is completely charged as indicated both by the menu bar and by battery LED's. Furthermore, disconnecting the power adapter while running, causes the computer to go down immediately and completely, despite fully charged battery.
    The behavior began abruptly after about ten weeks of normal use, though it was preceded in the last week or two by a few instances of the battery running completely down without a "low power" warning. Whether these are related symptoms, I don't know, but have read a number of reports of the latter problem.
    I will request a new battery from Apple Care, but it sounds as if this may not get to the heart of the problem. Any further info would be appreciated.

  • IPhone 6 take longer time to charge after upgrading to ios 8.2

    Did someone have the same problem with me? After updating to ios 8.2, time taken to fully charge the battery seem longer than usual. Usually, it take roughly about an hour to charge from 10% to 100% but now it take nearly 3 hour. I have try to pull out the charging cable when the battery reach 96% and then plug in back after a few second. The battery percentage shows 100% after i plug in the charger. Is there something wrong with the system or the battery?

    I have this problem too. My iphone isn't recognizing ANY charger after  upgrading to 8.2

  • 6 Plus, longer time to charge

    Is it my imagination, or does the iPhone 6 Plus (64 GB, iOS 8.1) take about twice as long to charge (at the end of its working day) than my 4S (16 GB) did?

    Hi! I'm having the exact same issue with with iphone 6plus but apparently it's completely normal because the batteries are a lot bigger. I've heard using an iPad charger if you have one can make it go really fast. It's completely normal though I think don't worry, because your 4S battery will be significantly smaller than the battery you have now.

  • Upon completing data migration to a new macbook air, I restarted the laptop as a part of the process. However, the screen is stuck in the apple logo. Is this step supposed to take such a long time? Its been about 10 hours already.

    I have tried forcing a restart and the safe boot start up but its still on the same screen!

    Hi GreenchiliNM,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that your computer is only booting to the Apple logo after running migration. You have done a great couple of troubleshooting steps already by trying a restart and trying to start in safe boot. I suggest you continue with the steps in the following article starting with the Reset the NVRAM / PRAM section and working down.
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
    If the gray screen issue persists, go to the next section.
    Thanks for reaching out,
