No low battery warning / shutting down with no warning

My macbook has shut itself down about 6 times when it is on a low-ish power status, and before the 'attach power' warning appears.
There doesn't appear to be anything on the support pages for this - the only ones I can find are from 2006 and relate to the old Macbook. I think it is something to do with the SMC firmware (which I have the most up-to-date - 1.38f5).
Has anyone else experienced this, and is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Paul

please check it out with this utility & report back: http://www.coconut-flavour.com/
I think your battery is bad but you can also try the smc & pram reset.
SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
PRAM: Hold Command Option P R at startup until you hear the chime twice.

Computer shuts down with charge on battery and no warning

without warning and plenty of charge on my battery my mac book pro shuts down? if it just sits there in sleep unplugged it seems to run fine, but if its unplugged and i try to use it (with a charged battery) it shuts down with out warning. started about 3 months ago. Is the battery just old..?

It is almost certainly a sign that your battery is dying, timskins.
The problem is that when batteries deteriorate their internal resistance increases and they are no longer able to deliver power when it is demanded, even though they still have the ability to store it. They may chug along providing low power for quite a bit longer, but when your computer suddenly needs a bit more (because of increased CPU or GPU demand, or the HD spinning up or whatever) it is unable to provide it and the computer shuts down unexpectedly.
Think of it like driving a car with a bad fuel pump. Your car is driving along a highway with a full tank of gas. Its running smoothly enough. You put your foot down to accelerate up a hill or overtake a another vehicle and the engine dies because the fuel pump can't meet the greater demand for gas. The tank is still pretty full but the fuel can't be pumped in fast enough to keep it running in a high demand situation, so it shuts down.
See the section dealing with increasing internal resistance in batteries at http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-31.htm for more about such things, or http://www.buchmann.ca/Chap9-page1.asp for a longer, more technical, account.
Once this starts happening the only options are to get a new battery or to avoid any work that makes much demand on power (like visiting a "Flash" based website or, when it gets bad enough, even spinning up the HD from a stationary situation.) Unfortunately even with light use the battery will soon reach a point where the regular peaks of CPU and HD use will become too much for it and you will suffer more and more unexpected shutdowns until the battery is replaced.
My suggestion would be that you take the battery to an AASP or Apple Store, where they can quickly "stress test" the battery for you to make certain that in your case this is, indeed, the problem.

MacBookPro shuts down with no low power warning.

Once my battery drains to around 10%, my mac just completely shuts off, with no warning. In the past, I had received a warning.
I've reset the SMC several times. I've reset the PRAM/NVRAM several times. This has had no effect.
The shutdowns are occuring both with an Apple branded battery and with a 3rd party battery.
I've only recently noticed this problem, because for a long time I've been using my laptop more like a desktop, completely on battery. Once I went back to using it as a proper laptop, I began to experience these warningless shutdowns.
Any advice besides trying to reset the SMC and PRAM again and again?

I've fixed the problem and want to share my solution.
I suspected some corrupted system files, so I reinstalled Lion (command-R at start up followed by a large download). This was extremely easy over a T1 connection and resulted in the low battery warning messages reappearing. But the mac still unexpectedly shut down instead of sleeping when the battery got too low.
So, I did another SMC reset, figuring it might have an effect in conjunction with the newly installed Lion. It worked! I now see low battery warning messages (at around 6%) followed by sleep (at around 4%).
I hope this info might help someone else.

No low battery warning and shut down

My MacBook is no longer showing the "low battery" warning and even with the batery status showing charge suddenly shuts down. If I check manually pressing the button of the bettery flashes 2 or 3 lights.
I have calibrated the battery several times but i am having problems doing it again because after the shut down there is still charge in the battery.
I have OS X 10.5.8 and all the software updates done.
Thanks.
Dan

Same Problem is happening to me. I have a Late 2008 13" Aluminum Macbook. If some one knows what to do please post. Thank you

HT1446 No low battery warning before it shuts-down

Under MAvericks OS-X, our MBP isn't giving a low battery warning before it shuts-down. And yes the battery status icon is active in the status bar.. So why no warning??

Read this earlier non-Mavericks discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11218017#11218017

MacBook shuts down after low battery warning

Hi,
up until recently my macbook's battery has been working just fine. but then lately i noticed that a few minutes after it displays the low battery warning it shuts down by itself.
before, when the low battery warning would display i could still continue working on my macbook for several minutes until it goes to sleep -- only then would i connect it to the power cord.
unlike the other posts (concerning batteries) that i've read, i have no problems turning my macbook on/off before or after this event has occured. neither does it shut itself down when the battery is halfway. my problem really only happens after the low battery warning has been displayed.
i wanted to calibrate my battery but then that would require my macbook to go to sleep once it reaches a battery level of less than 5%-10% -- mine just shuts down completely.
is this shutting down thing a substitution mechanism to save the laptop's memory -- instead of going to sleep, it'd just shut down?? how can i fix this?
thanks in advance for the help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 512MB, 2GHz Intel Core Duo

For what it is worth, I now have the same issue. Only I don't even see the low battery warning, it gets to 15% or 10% and bang, no power. This is not good, by the way and is bound to corrupt something in the system as OSX requires some house keeping when you shut down the computer properly. This instant off is not a proper shut down. I took my MacBook in and they wouldnt simply replace the battery, they want to keep the computer and give it back to me in a few days. I rely on this puter for work 5 days a week, so I was trying to avoid this.
Oh well I guess a trip to the Apple store is unavoidable.

Shut down after low battery warning

Hi
After I get the low battery warning on my iBook G4 (about 30 seconds) my iBook unexpectedly shuts down, I have tried recalibrating the battery several times, including shutting the lid to put it to sleep after the warning then plugging it in and waking it (to recalibrate you are supposed to wait until the machine sleeps) and letting it charge right up.
I have also tried resetting the PMU, although I dont think this is working as I hit shift-ctrl-apple/option-and the power button, and all that happens is the machine starts up as usual, according to the documentation, I should have to then power up the machine.
Is itr just that my battery hasd had it? I have notice it only takes an hour/hour and a half to run the battery down, and only about 30mins or so to charge.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Mike

That definitely sounds like a battery that wants to be replaced.
My iBook behaved in a similar manner--except the "low battery" warning wouldn't even show up!
I think it's time for you to pick up a new battery--they run about $100.

Snow Leopard shutting down with no warning is getting more complex!

I have a series 1 Macbook Pro and have updated to Snow Leopard. As with most other people I immediately got problems with the "battery Service" message. So, having read all the various posts, and tried re-calibration, I bought a new battery.
Charged fully and disconnected adaptor. The machine shut down with no warning at about 85%! I tried a few more times after fully charging the battery and it shut down a number of times - 83%, 85%, 89% and 98%. The battery shows a cycle count of 1. The last time it shut down (89%) I decided to try re-starting without plugging the adaptor back in. The machine started and ran up to the point where it properly started Snow Leopard - when it was about to change from the blue screen - at which point it shut down again. I tried this a number of times and it was absolutely conisistant, doing it every time.
I then had the bright idea of plugging in the adaptor but watching the LED to see what happened. The LED came on green for 1 or 2 seconds, then went red. I then immediately unplugged it again. I then tried to start the machine with battery only. It started perfectly and went on running until down to 15% at which point it shut down, again with no warning. Tried re-starting - it wouldn't! Plugged the adaptor in so that it would charge the battery whilst using the machine. Then, much to my amazement, while the adaptor was still plugged in, and the battery was far from fully charged, the machine shut down - again without warning. That's "it shut down with battery installed AND mains connected". The machine then wouldn't start, with mains connected. It would switch on for a few seconds then shut down again. To get it to start I needed to remove the battery and run it on mains only.
That's where I am at the moment, running 'mains only' with no battery installed. It looks as if Snow Leopard sets the battery monitor / charging hardware incorrectly on the MBP. Once set incorrectly it looks as if it loses itself!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

It really doesn't get any better! Well, not a lot. I decided that I'd try yet another brand new battery. I charged it fully, disconnected the mag connector and it ran happily without shutting down - hooray. However, after putting out the message about low power and about to shut down, at about 5%, it ran to about 2% and shut down without warning. It didn't go to sleep.
I then couldn't get the machine to start again. I reset the SMC and still no joy. it would start to run, flash the screen a couple of times and then die. To get it to run I had to disconnect the battery, start it, then plug the battery back in again. Snow Leopard does appear to do something odd with the charging hardware. It appears to leave it in an odd state.
You may be right about Battery Update 1.3, but there appears to be no way of installing it under 10.6.8 - unless you know something I don't!

IPad shuts down with still 11% battery.

I have an iPad 2 which is 4-5 months old. It has been running great until the recent problem.
I use it 8-10 hrs every day, discharge it frequently, and never leave it plugged in overnight and charge it to full capacity almost every other day...
It has recent iOS and have also tried rebooting.
Now, the recent problem, it turns off at 11% power. few days earlier the same happened at 9% power.
I tried plugging it and trying to restart and then unpluggin immediately. Again, it shuts off at 11%.It doesnt even display the "low battery" warning before shutting.
Is this problem usual after 4-5 months of usage? Can i do something to fix it?
Thanx a lot!

You may need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Macbook Pro shuts down with 40% battery left... does not just go to sleep

Hi,
Our MacBook Pro has started to shut down with about 40% battery left. After it has shut down, I press the button underneath the computer and 2 our of 5 lights light up on the battery. I wouldn't mind if it just went to sleep but I totally have to restart it and lose everything I have been working on when it died. The computer used to go to sleep when the battery got to 0%, then I could plug it in and keep working.
I don't know if it's a software issue or a battery issue or a firmware issue.
Any tips would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

I have read so many articles across the internet with people experiencing this problem. This is the conclusion I came to.
I could not calibrate my battery as my system would hard power down before it got anywhere close to draining the battery entirely. The last 10 cycles on my battery were attempts at calibrating. The most common cause would be because the battery in our macbook pro does contain something close to the charge being reported by the computer, but cannot deliver it. Your fuel gauge is probably not incorrect, especially when the leds on the battery itself show a charge that should be capable of running the machine. Even if it is not calibrated correctly. The internal resistance of the battery itself has compromised the batteries ability to deliver the amperage necessary to run our machines. After finally realizing this, I turned my screen brightness all the way down, and sat all my power settings to max battery life without allowing the machine to go asleep. Then, I went to sleep myself =). In the morning it appeared as though I had a successful calibration and the machine did not power down hard. Depending on how bad of shape your battery is in, this may or may not work. Either way, it didn't matter much. Even with my fuel gauge being correct, if my screen brightness was cranked up and I was doing anything somewhat processor intensive, my battery failed to provide the needed amperage and powered down my system hard again.
The battery really does have the amount of power it says, it just cannot deliver it as fast as needed. At a slower rate, it will work. A replacement battery is needed. I cannot explain the strange jumps/dips in storage capacity but would guess these numbers are a guide, and more than one environmental factor can change this number. Also, once the internal resistance builds up inside the battery and the inability to calibrate happens, it compunds the problem.
My machine is a first gen intel macbook pro. A few months after I bought it, I had battery problems and apple replaced my battery. My machine is 31 months old, it's battery is somewhere around 27. I tried to get apple to replace my battery and they told me no. I was 40% healthy @ 207 cycles. Many people complain about this but it seems reasonable to me, I didn't argue. I do believe my battery failed prematurely, however, it was due to a few factors and I do not think it was the batteries fault. My machine was one of those nice overheating first generation macbook pros. To make the matter worse, one of my internal fans stopped working. I knew this as my istat pro program showed me 1 fan @ zero rpm. I figured I had applecare and had work to do, so continued to use the computer for several months. I did quite a bit of video encoding and processor intensive work. When I would get to work in the morning, my granite desktop was really cold, however, after a half hour or so with the macbook pro running the heat would dissipate through it and warm it up nice and comfortable! lol, some may not think this is funny, but it worked well for me. I frequently had over 180 degree cpu temps and the bar above the keyboard being too hot to lay your hand on and keep it there. I am sure some of this excess heat contributed to the premature failure of my battery. The type of batteries in our machines are killed by heat, charge amount, cycles and age. Probably in that order for most users. So, can I blame apple because my unit ran hotter than it should have because their fan failed! eh, maybe, but I am happy with this laptop overall. I have never had a single laptop for more than 15 months and have had this one for over 30 now.
I ran across this site somewhere, it may have been another user on these forums, I cannot remember. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-19.htm On this page, it talks about our batteries, the effects of heat and level of charge in combination with age. At 77 degrees F., charged to 100% (which is very typical of our machines, or close to it) after one year the battery is 80% as good as it was when it was new. At 32 degrees it is as 94% as good as new after one year. Jump up to 104 F. and the battery is only 65% as good as new after 1 year. Sometimes my computer is running for days and sometimes the environment is warm. Add that to the heat produced by the machine itself and I bet the battery sustained 100 degree temperatures for long periods of time. Just for fun, at 140 degrees and 100% charge in our lithium ion batteries, after only 3 months the capacity is only 60% of its new capacity.
Anyways, that is my battery story. Sum up. The inability to calibrate is due to the batteries increased internal resistance and inability to deliver the charge at a rate needed by your computer even though it appears healthy, or somewhat healthy. You may be able to calibrate by making your laptop drain less power, turn screen brightness all the way down, turn airport & bluetooth off, let hard disk sleep, and let it go. But that will not stop the hard shut down problem, although the fuel gauge will be more accurate. Think of it like this. a 100 gallon fuel tank on a car full of gas. The fuel gauge is correct, it is full. However, the fuel line connecting the fuel tank to the engine is made of a space age material that shrinks as it ages and is exposed to heat. Eventually the fuel line shrinks to the size of a coffee stirrer or small straw. When the motor is turned off the fuel seeps into the small straw. Start the motor, it begins to sip the fuel from the straw. Rev it up (encode video), the motor demands more gas but cannot get it. The motor stalls out (your computer shuts off). Same idea somewhat. Sorry so long

IPhone 5 shuts down with over 30% battery remaining

My iphone 5 is shutting down with over 30% battery remaining. It used not to shut down with still around 2% remaining but its increasing with every day now. For the last 5 days or so it is shutting down when showing even 30% remaining. When plugged in again, the battery is all drained down. Please someone give some valuable advice.
thanks

Sounds like a definite hardware problem. You should still be in warranty, so head over to an Apple Genius Bar and they will either repair or replace it. A replacement will be much more likely, and it's free (if in warranty).
Good luck!

IPhone 5 shuts down with the battery at 40%

I'm having issues with my iPhone 5. It regularly shuts down with the battery being far from 0%. When I took it to the apple store, a "genius" said that the battery is fine and restored the phone to the factory settings. I set it up as new without touching the backup (with iOS 8), but the iPhone keeps shutting down with a half charged battery. If anythings, the problem only became worse with iOS 8.1. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it.
The iPhone is out of the warranty and is not eligible for battery replacement. Another issue I have is that the home button often responds with a delay, but I don't know if it's related to the main problem.
Thanks

Here's the battery info from iBackupBot:
CycleCount: 368
DesignCapacity: 1430
FullChargeCapacity: 1200

My iPhone with 40 or so percent randomly shuts down with iOS 7 and 6. Often with the camera app stating the phone is out of battery. Moments later I turn it back on and the same battery life still appears.

My iPhone with 40 or so percent randomly shuts down with iOS 7 and 6. Often with the camera app stating the phone is out of battery. Moments later I turn it back on and the same battery life still appears. It sometimes happens over and over until I leave it alone for a while (still not charging), and then it works.

I think you might get a new phone instead of repairing it as it takes time and you said the repairing center is far from your living place

Macbook shutting down with new battery with 15 minutes remaining (consistent)

Just installed a supposed new battery for the White Macbook 4,1 model, from an Amazon seller. The battery looks authentic, fits well, accepts and fully charges, but it is a little more yellow in color than the rest of the casing. That's all I can find wrong with it.
The problem I am having is that the macbook will shutdown consistently with ~15 minutes left on the charge (under 10%). I get no low battery warning. I have tried numerous SMC and PRAM resets with no luck. Battery temperature and computer temperature appear to be fine so the unit is not overheating. The only indication I can assume is suspicious is that the battery will draw over 2 amps at times as that magic time remaining approaches. Battery cycle count is 3 and remaining capacity is over 5300 mAh.

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 with 4 gigs of RAM installed. I've read the Firmware version of this battery (110) needs updating but I can't find an updater that will run in Lion. I also don't understand what ASMB0?6 means in the device name (what's up with the ?). Again, the battery appears to be a legit Apple product and brand new by the cycle count (3).
Can someone help me resolve this issue?

HI kostby,
I've been trying to calibrate the battery but can't do the 5-hour sleep procedure since the computer doesn't go to sleep. Although I have noticed that the last time the shutdown occurred, the battery indicator light was one and blinking. So the battery thinks it is drained but the computer does not (hence 15 minutes remaining and no low battery warning). So I took the battery out of the computer last night with blinking indicator light and left it alone overnight. I reinstalled the battery this morning and am charging it now. Hopefully it calibrated.
If not, I am going to ask for a replacement from the Amazon.com seller, since I just bought it "new".
Thanks for your insights.
