Why would new battery not charge?

I have an iPhone 5 with a 1 year history of good behavior.  I recently transferred my Sony-manufactured battery (date code=08/2014) to my daughter's iPhone 5 so that she could make an outbound airplane flight with a functioning phone. 
There was evidence that daughter's battery had died, not been subjected to a bad or uncertified charger.  It would not charge on my known good chargers.  Her Lightning port was not full of lint.  After I transferred my good battery to her phone, her phone worked fine and she was on her way.
I discarded her suspect battery and installed a new one in my phone. Acquired from a well known supplier of batteries, t was a Sony-manufactured battery with a date code nearly identical to mine.  My phone booted up fine and showed 45% cell charge.  As the hours passed, the state of charge gauge indicated showed a battery of normal endurance.
However, at the end of the day this new battery will not accept a charge in my phone.
I am using the same known good chargers that I used previously.  I am an experienced iPhone disassembler.  My Lightning port is not "linted-up".  I admit that Apple's fine-pitch PCB connectors are a challenge even for experienced disassemblers but I believe that this battery transplant went OK.
Any ideas? 
If I did, in fact, damage the battery connector during transplant, wouldn't the phone have squawked error messages before refusing to charge.  There were no error messages or hints that the battery transplant had problems.

So, to clarify, you've opened up the iPhone, and replaced the battery yourself?
Are you an Apple Authorized Service Technician?
Apple doe snot supply batteries to third-parties.  Any iPhone battery you acquired is either:
A) Counterfeit
B) Stolen
C) Salvaged from another unit.
Additionally, unless you are an AAST and were using an Apple-supplied battery, your device warranty and support is permanently voided.

    Is it normal for the light on the charger to be dimly lit, at times, unless I unplug my Macbook, and replug?

  • DV4170US - new battery not charging

    My first battery had progressively shorter battery life, so I replaced it with an after-market battery.  That worked for over a year.  Then, it wouldn't charge.  I was able to use the laptop with the charger attached, but the battery would not charge.  I bought another after-market battery.  This worked for a few weeks only, then would not charge.
    I've tried removing the battery, booting the laptop with charger attached, shutting down, reinstalling the battery - the "charging" (lightning bolt) indicator lights up for a second ro two then goes off.  I also tried booting the laptop then installing the battery with it on - same result.
    I also tried the HP battery assessment utility - it indicated that the battery could not be analyzed or something to that effect.
    FWIW, the battery and fan exhaust have always been very hot on this machine.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.  This is still a really good laptop with plenty of life left in it.
    This question was solved.

    Bostonc,
    Thanks so much for your post! I am definitely sorry that you are having these continued issues with the battery on your notebook. 
    After updating bios and running the battery check, unfortunately there isn't much that can be done in the way of troubleshooting.
    I definitely suggest purchasing your next battery from HP, if only so you receive the 1 yr or 300 cycle warranty with the battery.  If it happens to a new HP battery during the warranty time, I would definitely check further with the notebook. Without any other symptoms, I wouldn't necessarily assume that the issue is beyond just the battery.
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not HP.
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions,by marking my answer 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem.

  • New battery not charging and no power supply reported

    The battery for my G4 17inch powerbook had expired and a new one was needed. A brand new battery has been purchased and inserted into the machine. With the old battery the charger would go green then quickly amber before going off. With the new battery the light never comes on and in the battery info in the operating system it is listed as a new battery with 1 charge but the power supply section is not listing the power as connected. However with no batterys inserted the power supply will power and run the machine.
    Can anyone offer any advise of something I could try or is it likely to be a dead laptop / charging circuit?
    Thanks

    There's 4 components in the charging circuit: power adapter, DC-in card, battery, and logic board. If you can run on power without the battery, and does not run when you insert a battery, that suggests that the DC-in board may be OK. So ... power adapter works, assume DC-in card works, new battery assume it works ... if you accept those assumptions, then you have a logic board issue.

  • HT3964 Installed a new battery for a Macbook 2,1 New battery not charging. Battery symbol shows (Not charging) and replace battery. Green LED on magsafe connection. Disconnection results in an instant shutdown.

    I have just installed a new Battery after the old one showed (Not Charging) and when you clicked on this icon the dropdown"condition replace now". Problem now is the computer still shows the same message in the top bar (Not Charging) and the dropdown also shows "condition relace now". the magsafe show the greem LED i.e not charging, but providing power. If you disconnect the magsafe the computer powers off instantly confirming we have power. I have carried out resetting the SMC controller and still no change. Tested the standby voltage on the magsafe pins etc, all in spec. What should I do now, as I don't want to keep spending more and more. Bellow is the info from the system profiler.

  • Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

    My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
    Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
    I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
    Update: fixed typo

    I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
    What does this code (REOOW) mean?

  • Why is my battery not charging?

    Well, my problem... Sunday I noticed that my battery icon was saying "plugged in, not charging". I checked my outlet, my ac adapter, the brick between the two and the port on the laptop. I have G60 235X. I spoke to an HP tech person and they told me it's something in the computer that needs to be fixed, they said it's a "needle" inside. Not sure. I talked to a couple more people and some had me uninstall the battery in device manager and then search for hardware changes. That worked... temporarily. My battery is fine (I did a check). I am not sure what it is. They sent out a box for me to send it to them but it's the wrong kind of box. But I am not convinced it's something internal. I Googled the problem and it seems that many people have it.

    Without knowing all the particulars, other little tricks may include resetting (or Zapping) the PRAM or the SMC.
    PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
    Be sure to inspect your power adapter too...

  • In-app purchase approved for sale, folios published, why would new issue not show in Newstand?

    Has anyone had this issue and what should I be looking for to problem solve?

    Yes - I am having this problem as well. And if I delete the app and install it again - the new issue will appear in the newsstand... I am using an iPad 2 with OS 6.1.3 installed
    I have gone through this and everything is correct...

    I am wondering if this might be the problem...
    In the DPS App Builder, under advanced options - there are 2 settings (which are both unchecked in my app)
    "Always open background downloaded issue"
    "Auto download latest entitled folio on first launch"
    I am wondering if these should be checked and if this affects my newsstand icon not updating...

  • HT1476 Why does my battery not charge?

    I started having problems a couple of days ago when I noticed that non apple cables don't charge my phone anymore. But last night I tried to plug my phone to an apple charger and it took or ten times before it started to charge. I had tried about three plugs before one finally worked after many tries.please help because I am not due for an upgrade yet.

    Even the apple wires that come with the iPhone are having difficulties to connect all of a sudden. Could this be a software issue, or is my iPhone just done??? If it is it didn't even last two years and I promise it's gonna be the last apple product I buy!!!! I hope apple reads this. Thanx for the reply.

  • Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

    Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

    The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...

  • Bought new Quad core 17in Battery not charging

    I just bought the new 17in MBP and noticed battery not charging only under heavy graphics load.
    When i run chrome and netflix together it goes to a not charging state.
    When I use Firefox with netflix it would show 4hrs to charge with battery at 50%.
    Under basic web surfing or running xcode. I get the normal 1hr to complete charge.
    I took it to apple store and they did complete reset and diagnostic run with everything passing.
    I have also tried a different power magsafe still having the same issue so I know its not that.
    Has anyone been able to find a fix for this or is experiencing the same issue under heavy graphics load.
    Thanks

    Hi Dan,
    I have heard from seemingly knowledgeable people that this is normal. When the MBP needs to use more power (CPU, GPU), it stops charging to divert all the AC current to the MBP and goes back to charging the batt as that demand lessens. I believe this is normal.

  • WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

    WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

    How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    If the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
    And for info typing in capitals is considered SHOUTING.

  • Why computer battery not charging?

    Why computer battery not charging?

    maybe you are running so many programs that it can only provide enough power to keep the macbook running and not actually charge it

    I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

    That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
    When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

  • "Battery not Charging" on a new MacBook Pro 15''

    The battery of my new MacBook Pro 15'' is not charging when plugged in. The battery is down to 4% and the battery status bar shows "Battery not Charging".

    If this is a new MBP and you purchased it from an Apple store, you have a 14 day period in which to exchange it for a new one (or a refund).  If you purchased st from a reseller, their return policies will apply but the MBP should be fixed under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.
