12" PB Battery Repack

I recently experimented with repacking using a spent battery. having experience with battery repacking with RCs the procedure was fairly simple, replacing the old cells with GP Li Ions. verified all joints and tested the pack and all seems to be in order. problem is when install it, it doesnt charge; it just says 0% 'calculating... until full'. when i press the button on the batt, the first led just blinks rapidly. also when i check the system profiler it still indicates the original values of the old batt. question is, is there a way to 'reset' the battery info so as to indicate a 'new' batt? i've tried the pmu, nvram, pram etc... thanks

Hello Reflow!
Shut down the computer, disconnect any power cable from the electrical source (wall socket/surge protector), and remove the Battery for 5 minutes.
Reinstall the Battery, reconnect the power cable and proceed as follows:
Reset the NVRAM and PRAM chips by pressing the Power button, then quickly holding down Command-Option-P-R keys simultaneously until the Mac chimes *three times*, then release.
You need to do this from a power-up instead of a Restart, since doing it from a Restart just resets the PRAM chip.
Tip: During the 5 minute shutdown, practice positioning your LEFT fingers on the Command(Apple)-Option keys and your RIGHT fingers on the P-R keys.
After the Reboot, run Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/ Repair Disk Permissions
Then RESTART the computer ...... again!!!
Re-calibrate the Battery ...... again!!

Non replaceable battery

Well, I was all ready to bring my two phones back because I really did not like the fact that the battery was not replaceable, and I just couldn't bring myself to do so. I have bought many Apple products since my first Apple 2 computer, and just couldn't do it after repacking both up. I guess I'm going to just live with the fact I can't swap batteries. Extemely frustrating. I think this is the single biggest mistake for me anyway. The phone is just so beautiful though. I really hope they will update some of the features, and not just release a new version 2 phone. That would really upset me.

I so agree people are making way too much out of it.
Not to mention, the news is reporting it like your
phone will die after you've stuck it on the charger
300 times... which is NOT the case.
What will happen is after 300-400 FULL charges
(meaning the battery has completely died and you have
to charge it ALL the way) the battery will no longer
be able to hold more than 80% of it's life. It
doesn't just "die" all of a sudden... it very slowly
deteriorates to the point where it can't be charged
over 80% of it's capacity anymore, and THAT is what
occurs between 300-400 FULL charges.
Remember... that's FULL charges. If you are charging
every night and it's at 50% when you stick it on the
charger, that's 1/2 a charge. If it's at 20% that's
4/5 a charge.
When everyone falls into the grove on how to get the
best battery life, and when everyone stops being
obsessed with their phone because it's new, I think
everyone will find battery life is fine and the fact
that it has to be sent back to Apple for the battery
to be replaced will become a virtual NON issue... by
the time that would happen, years down the road,
you'd probably want an upgrade anyway. I'm getting
about 2 days between having to stick it on the
charger, and it's STILL not a full charge (anywhere
between 10 and 20% left at that point).
I've NEVER had to replace a cell phone battery.
Well said.
Bottom line is:
1. The battery replacement program is reasonable... $100 for a new battery with a loaner phone.
2. People are trending to buy new phones faster then their need for a new battery. Chances are all these complainers will shell out $600-1000 for the next gen iPhone the day it comes out
3. The battery life is the most superior of any cell phone I have ever seen, the mere fact that people are complaining within a week of its release of potential battery replacement one day is absurd.
4. If your battery dies in 1 year it is under warranty, within 2 years with $69 applecare, it too is under warranty - another reasonable option.

Battery , time , signal strength bar is not getting displayed in home screen , these will be displayed only when i click on any app. Can u let me know the setting change ?

Did you check the Zoom setting?
Have you tried a reset (reboot)? Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
If it isn't Zoom and a reboot doesn't help try Settings/General/Reset - Reset all settings

MBP 15'' 2011 battery lasts only 3 hours!

Hi
I bought MBP 2011 15 inch last week and received it on Monday.
My configs are
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.2 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          4 GB
and I also upgraded to high resolution.
So far, I'm pretty much enjoying my new MBP
But I have one main concern with my new laptop's battery time.
The battry time is really really short!
When I first turned it on, it took 3 hours to drain the battery. (starting from 98% or so)
And I did calibration thing so that the battery runs more "efficiently"
Of course, I didn't expect that calibration would make the battery last longer, but no matter what,
I only get 3 hours of battery life and I'm not even doing something that would drain my battery fast.
I just do simple web surfing and word documenting on about 30-40% brightness (or even lower sometimes)
And I get only 3 hours of bettery time.
So is this because my MBP has four i7 cores or or what?
Previous MBP 15'' models seem to last at least around 5 hrs doing exactly same thing.
And considering that I have been using my MBP only for 5 days or so, I'm worried that the battery life will become even less!
Maybe like 2 hrs?
Is this a particular issue with my laptop, that I can return and exchange to new model or get fixed without fees?
Or is it just built this way that all the MBP 2011 15'' models have this kind of short battery life?

OMG turning off the Bluetooth just gave me like extra 3 hours of battey time! (6 hrs total)
I didn't even know it was turned on in the first place because I never touched it.
I guess bluetooth is on as a default setting.
Thank you so much for advice.
I feel so stupid, but please be understanding since it's actually my first MacBook.
But I'm really glad to find out that I was wasting battery with bluetooth on, and now I can get better battery time.
Thanks once again!

Battery heating

I have the original battery that came with the Thunderbolt. I noticed if I'm using mobile web for maybe over 20 minutes or so, I can feel the battery heating up. Is anyone else experiencing this with the original battery? Is this "normal"? I don't notice it heating up when I just text or use the phone for voice calls. It's past the 14d period when I can return the phone. My laptop was doing the same thing (heating up), until finally it "burned out" the inside and has had to be repaired several times. I'd HATE for the same thing tohappen to my Thunderbolt, especially since I have 2 years with it. (Footnote: I did not purchase the extended warranty.) Help!!!

Download from the market "Battery Monitor" application and it will show you much more information about battery including its temperature. Normailly working battery temperature (not during charging) range is from 80F (27C) and should not exceed 105F (40C). If your battery is getting hotter than 105F during normal operation, you are risking of damaging not just a battery but also internal components of the phone.

I bought the wrong HP battery...!

I bought it online a couple days ago and it arrived today. I opened the package and to my horror the battery didn't fit my laptop. My laptop is a 13.1 inch HP Pavilion dv3. I bought the HP dv3000 Notebook 6-Cell battery thinking it would fit, but unfortunately it didn't. Can anybody tell me what battery I actually need to purchase for my laptop?
Most importantly: Can I return this and get an exchange or something? It cost me 145$, and I don't know what to do with a laptop battery that won't fit my laptop.

Thank you for the link.
As for checking with the vendor... since I bought it online I called yesterday to the tech support number. They talked a lot about some stuff and then told me they don't have the information for what I want. They gave me a number which I am now calling and I've been on hold for 18 minutes and counting. I think I'll try again tomorrow.
I'm sure they'll let me exchange... if I can get hold of them. I sure don't want to be stuck with a 145 dollar piece of junk.

Mid 2010 15" i5 Battery Calibration Questions

Hi, I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz i5.
Question 1: I didn't calibrate my battery when I first got my MacBook Pro (it didn't say in the manual that I had to). I've had it for about a month and am doing a calibration today, is that okay? I hope I haven't damaged my battery? The calibration is only to help the battery meter provide an accurate reading of how much life it has remaining, right?
Question 2: After reading Apple's calibration guide, I decided to set the MacBook Pro to never go to sleep (in Energy Saver System Preference) and leave it on overnight so it would run out of power and go to sleep, then I'd leave it in that state for at least 5 hours before charging it. When I woke up, the light on the front wasn't illuminated. It usually pulsates when in Sleep. Expectedly, it wouldn't wake when pressing buttons on the keyboard. So, what's happened? Is this Safe Sleep? I didn't see any "Your Mac is on reserve battery and will shut down" dialogues or anything similar, as I was asleep! I've left it in this state while I'm at work and will charge it this afternoon. Was my described method okay for calibration or should I have done something different?
Question 3: Does it matter how quickly you drain your battery when doing a calibration? i.e is it okay to drain it quickly (by running HD video, Photo Booth with effects etc) or slowly (by leaving it idle or running light apps)?
Thanks.

A1. You're fine calibrating the battery now. You might have gotten more accurate readings during the first month if you'd done it sooner, but no harm has been done.
A2. Your machine has NOT shut down; it has done exactly what it was supposed to do. When the power became critically low, it first wrote the contents of RAM to the hard drive, then went to sleep. When the battery was completely drained some time later, the MBP went into hibernation and the slepp light stopped pulsing and turned off. In that state the machine was using no power at all, but the contents of your RAM were still saved. Once the AC adapter was connected, a press of the power button would cause those contents to be reloaded, and the machine would pick up again exactly where you left off. It is not necessary to wait for the battery to be fully charged before using the machine on AC power, but do leave the AC adapter connected for at least two hours after the battery is fully charged. Nothing that you say you've done was wrong, and nothing that you say has happened was wrong.
A3. No, it does not matter.

Mid-2013 Macbook Air drains battery at hibernate

I recently got a new Macbook Air:
MBA 13-inch, Mid 2013
Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E3067)
The issue I'm running into is essentially that I close the lid (unplugged from power and anything else) and overnight the entire battery drains. When looking into the system log, I noticed that the sleep seems to run OK but it's when it tries to hibernate that the issue comes up. It looks to me like it tries to hibernate and runs into an error, tries again, run into an erro, tries again, etc.

This all seems to loop until the battery drains completely. Any Thoughts?

I have the exact same problem. I just installed Mavericks three days ago and I'm having battery drain when the lid is closed.
Does anybody have a solution for this problem ?

Possible Internet Tethering/Battery Life Issue

When either Cellular Data is turned Off, or Airplane Mode is turned On, Internet Tethering (Settings>General>Network) appears to have some process that runs continually in the background (evident by continuously spinning wheel next to the option). The running process has a demonstratively negative impact on battery life (1/3 reduction in ~ 30 mins). The Apple Genius at my local Apple Store and I verified the issue on numerous iPhone 4s that were on display. Turning Cellular Data On and ensuring the phone is not in Airplane Mode stops the activity. But obviously that defeats the purpose of having those options.
So if you are experiencing poor battery life, this might be your issue.

Could this be causing the unexplained usage and data transfer? I have been trying to find what is causing this. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603718&tstart=0

IPad iOS 8.1 Mail constant network use draining battery

Since updating to iOS 8.1, iPad Mail is rapidly draining my battery. When I go into Mail the network usage indicator (spinning wheel) runs constantly. I left it this way by mistake while traveling and it drained the whole battery with minimal actual usage in one day -- I usually only have to recharge every 2-3 days.
I have checked the battery usage indicator in Settings and it shows that in the last 24 hours Mail used 54% of the battery. I had changed no settings, but went into Mail & Calendar settings and double-checked them, and they were as they had always been. I have three email accounts: Gmail, Verizon, and a company account on an Exchange server. It's the only one that was set to Push, but now I've set it to Fetch like the others and it still continuously accesses the network when I'm in Mail.
This must be a bug of some kind introduced by a recent OS or app update, right? This never happened before, and nothing else has changed in my usage of the iPad or Mail.
One other issue: Mail is not actually fetching new mail when it should. I see new mail show up on Mac Mail hours before it appears on the iPad. Normally email would arrive almost simultaneously on my iPhone and iPad, then a moment later on the Mac. Now the phone is still first, but the iPad lags. The only way I can get the iPad to refresh in real time is to close the app and restart it.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior with the recent update? Any idea how to fix it?

Found a solution at: http://webcamsocialshopper.com/iphone-battery-suddenly-draining-try-this-non-res tore-method
Short version, remove your Exchange account, shut down phone, restart, add the Exchange account back. Problem solved.

FIX FOR: iPhone 4 battery draining fast, phone running hot

I had the same issue many have reported here and in comments on blogs, where their +_battery was draining at least twice as fast_+ as on an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.
Some threads suggest +_this happens to iPhone 4 when restored from a 3G or 3GS_+, and indeed, that's what I'd done. A few people said that resetting to factory settings and installing everything fresh solved the issue, giving them better battery life than they'd seen on any prior iPhone.
Many of my apps have files or settings stored in them, so I didn't want to have to set everything up again. A fresh install is a real pain.
Deep in an iPhone 3G thread mentioning a similar battery problem after upgrading to iOS 4, someone said they'd deleted all their mail accounts, and set those up fresh, which solved the issue for them. I tried that today, and it worked.
*_BEFORE AND AFTER_*:
Thursday and Friday, the iPhone 4 went from 100% to 15% in under 6 hours. Today, after this fix, the iPhone 4 is at 87% after 12 hours. Thursday and Friday the phone was hot to the touch whenever I picked it up. Today it's always cool. Apps usage and movement among coverage areas on each day have been exactly the same. The only change was resetting up mail.
*_STEPS TO FIX_*:
Do this on WiFi so you can sync and check mail fast.
1. Delete all mail accounts.
2. If MobileMe user, delete MobileMe account, and remove all Calendars, Contacts, Notes, etc., from the phone (so you don't have dupes when you re-sync).
3. Turn off phone, and back on again.
4. If MobileMe user, add MobileMe account first. I enabled all options, even Find My iPhone (Thursday and Friday I had it off, in case it was using power). Wait long enough for contacts and calendars to sync, check to make sure. I use MobileMe mail on Push.
5. Add back each additional mail account. I have 5. I am in a marginal coverage area, so I set these accounts on Fetch Hourly. I also have "Preview 5 Lines" (I think the default is Preview 2 Lines. This doesn't matter.)
6. Go into Mail, go to the MobileMe Inbox, and scroll your way down letting the messages come in. You can see them come in when you see the Preview Lines update, and then scroll some more.
7. Go into each additional mail account's Inbox, scroll your way down, letting the messages come in.
8. Go to the combined Inbox if you use that, make sure all the messages are in.
9. The WiFi activity spinner may remain spinning even after Mail says it is done Checking Mail. This is because other parts of mail accounts are being synced for the first time. Let the iPhone sit in Mail combined inbox until the spinner stops. Quit Mail, go back in, and watch the spinner after it's done Checking Mail. If the spinner doesn't stop after < 5 seconds or so, let Mail sit again. Once it's caught up, going into mail will Check Mail, and the spinner will stop a few seconds after as it should.
10. You're done.
Hopefully your phone stays cool and your battery life reflects the boost from the 20% larger battery. If not, the next step to try is Reset Network Settings, and finally try a factory reset and installing everything fresh instead of doing a restore. Hopefully you won't need to do that. I didn't.

My iphone 4 just started to warm up and the battery is draining quick. Closed everything and reset to no avail. Turned off bluetooth, increased push time and checked location settings for new applications. Weather Doodle was a bit suspicious as it had a purple direction indicator next to the setting. The only other new app I installed was Lego instruct. I disabled one of the 4 mail accounts I had that is having network difficulties, went to airplane mode and still I see %1 drain every 10 or 15 minutes. I'll remove the new new apps and reset to see if it is related to the new apps. If that doesn't work, I'll try email account reset at home wifi and see if that fixes the issues.
Thank you for the information.

First battery charge and current issues?

Hi!
I just bought a new MacBook (2.0 GHz, 160 GB). I have two quick questions:
1. I plugged in my AC adapter, turned on the notebook for about 5 minutes to make sure it works fine, etc, then shut it down to let the battery charge. Would I have lost any battery capacity by not fully charging the battery first? And do I need to let the battery run through a full cycle when I first use the computer to ensure full capacity?
2. Are there any updates/best practices for the 2008 (December) MacBook batteries? I know there was an issue in 2007, but for the new line am I set to go? And is it still best practice to put shut the Mac down instead of putting it to sleep to save wear and tear on the hard-drive/battery?
sorry for all the questions: it has been 5 years since I bought my last notebook so I am a bit rusty/excited!

Since allowing my upgrade to happen, I am unable to double press and shut off apps that are now eating up my battery time. It doesn't "wiggle" anymore to allow me to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a new user and when the phone asked for the upgrade.. I have had a lot of problems. First it eliminated all of my contacts. Also, I use to be able to close open apps to reduce battery usage by holding my finger on the apps until they "wiggled" allowing me to shut the active app off. I cannot do this any more and now my battery time is lasting about 5 hours tops. This is without me using any apps other than answering calls. Can someone please help.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

Is there a way of stopping the battery from charging?

Dear Apple Community,
Recently I installed iStat Menus and found that, over the course of this year, my Macbook's charging capacity has dropped 5%. I know this isn't a massive number, but battery performance has become a concern for me. I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, on the main. It's sitting on a mStand, connected to a large monitor on my desk. I use my Macbook to play games, surf the internet, do work and all that good stuff - basically, I use it for everything. I rarely use the Macbook without it being plugged in. I read on the Apple website that they do not recommend leaving the Macbook on charge permanently and that I should use it on battery at least one a month. As I use my Macbook as a desktop replacement, I don't actually have a lot of opportunity to do this.
My question to you, the community, is: is there a way of stopping the battery from charging, either with the use of an app or a physical device? Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
On the other hand, am I just worrying about nothing? Will my battery be damaged further if I leave the Macbook charging permanently?
Thanks for your help!

Ideally, I would love to have my power plugged in BUT only used when the battery drops below 10%. Is this possible with an app?
The charging characteristics are handled in firmware. There is no app that would be able to do this. You actually would not want to do this anyway. Regularly discharging your battery to 10% will greatly decrease the life of your battery. While it is true that you should not use your system exclusively plugged in, allowing it to run on battery a few hours a week should be fine. Letting the battery regularly run down to (or below) 10% will cause you to use up cycles more quickly than is necessary (thereby reducing the life of your battery). It's really a only a matter of disconnecting your Magsafe connector once in a while.
Leaving it plugged in does not result in it being charged "permanently". It will charge until it is full and then charging will stop. It will only begin recharging when it reaches about 95%.
