Battery Info Normal?

I've been having battery problems which I described in another post, but I was just wondering if the battery information below from the system profiler is normal or not, so I will know if there is something wrong with my battery.
Here's my battery info per system profiler.
Is this normal?
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1263
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1263
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12541
Cycle Count: 82
AC Charger Information:
AC Charger (Watts): 65
Connected: Yes
Charging: No

A new battery should have a capacity of 4400mAh, yours is only about a third of that, try recalibrating it by running it down completely then fully recharging it.
I suspect its a bad one though.

MISSING: Time, Date, Battery Info

Since the new update, the Time, Date, Battery Info, etc that is normally in the top right hand corner toolbar is gone.
Going into system preferences to click the box for time doesn't work, because it is checked.

I am using a Panasonic HDC TM 300.
I have tried copying the individual .mts files and copying the entire folder structur. Neither of these show the EXIF info in the PPro cs 4 metadata (EXIF section).
As I said the date/time info etc shows up in Adobe Bridge.
Am I missing something or is this a problem with PPro cs 4??

Is ipod touch low battery life normal?

I just bought my new ipod touch. I found the battery life is quite short. Every day i have to charge it twice. Now I am keeping to use my ipod touch as less as possible to manage charging it once a day. This is really not compared to a regular phone, which you probably can use 3 or 4 days to recharge again.
The so-called dock adapter inside the box is quite tricky! I thought it is the power adapter. Normally when you buy a cellphone, it comes with the power adapter. But for ipod touch, you have to buy power adapter separately! I even don't know what's the use of this 'plastic' dock adapter. i called Apple and asked "You call this plastic piece an adapter!". It's a little funny!
During my first week using my ipod touch, it got stuck or crashed TWICE, two times! One time is when it downloaded an email with a 8Mb attachement.
In addition, I feel quite confusing with so many accounts with Apple, such as Apple store account, iTune account, iChat account, MobileMe account, and even this discussion forum account. Now I have 3 Apple IDs!
The use of MacBook is so far so good.
This is my experience with Apple's products!
Welcome comments and sharing your experience! i just couldn't help keeping myself silent.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal
Yes and no. Even in normal usage, Safari and videos can kill the battery in 4 - 5 hours, whereas music with the screen and WiFi off should last for 22 hours. Most iPT's can last for days in sleep mode, even with WiFi left "ON".
My previous iPod Touch had no battery problems -- the charge would only drop significantly when being used, not while sleeping. Now I have a replacement iPod Touch (the previous one couldn't install the 2.0 Update), and this one won't even last overnight in sleep mode.
Here's what I did in my last test: Turned all the WiFi services off -- Push: OFF, Fetch: OFF, Location Services: OFF, Ask to Join Networks: OFF, WiFi: OFF. Fully recharged the iPT, disconnected it and left it shut down overnight. Booted it up the next day, full battery (Okay so far). Next, I left the iPod Touch in sleep mode for the entire day (8am - 6pm), still full battery (Great!). At 9:00pm, turned on WiFi (and none of the other items mentioned above), used Safari for about 15 minutes, battery went down one notch ~ 90%. (Still normal) Put the iPT into sleep mode, but this time with WiFi left "ON". Woke up the next morning, and the battery plummeted to 10% in about 5 minutes. (NOT GOOD AT ALL).
My previous iPod Touch would have still had 90-80% battery the next morning. And while I would generally suspect the 2.0 Update being the culprit, everyone else I know has been running 2.0 without any problems -- no installation problems, no battery problems. I've been cursed with both issues in two separate iPods.
(I should also mention. I have not yet had a chance to install any media or applications on this iPod Touch, so there's no chance an errant application has somehow triggered a battery drain. This is just a plain iPT with the 2.0 Update and a restore of my Safari bookmarks.)

Is my Ipod touch's battery working normally?

I just bought a brand new black Ipod touch 4th gen 32 GB a week ago. I updated to the newest version of ios ( 5.1). I tried every tip that helps extend the battery life such as turning off EQ, push, location services, fetch new data, etc...and I just downloaded a few apps. I I feel that everytime I use apps or wifi, the battery life drains so fast. Today I decided to charge the battery full, set the brightness to low, turn the wifi off, turn the volume to low, and only play Angry Birds Free for an hour. For the first thirty minutes of playing the game, the battery went from 100% to 87%, and from 87% to 74% after other thiry minutes (I used Toggle Voice Over to check my battery percentage). It means after playing the game Angry Birds Free for an hour , the battery went down from 100% to about 75%. Is my Ipod's battery working normally? Thank you!!!!

I'm so glad to hear that. I never used Apple products before, so I thought something is wrong with my Ipod. Thank you so much!

Battery info in different language

battery info in different language

There are more than 50 different computers called MacBook Pro, with several different batteries, and Mac OS X is available in dozens of languages worldwide. Where are you seeing this information? what language does it appear to be? What language(s) do you use?
MUCH more background information will be needed for anyone to respond to your terse statement.

Cannot find Battery Info in System Profiler

Cannot find "Battery Info" in System Profiler (4.0.4).
Originally, I was going to title this post "battery not charging" - which is why I am looking for battery details. Of course, as soon as I started typing the battery clicked up a notch (29% to 30%).
So, I got a confused battery and a confused System Profiler.
A couple of weeks ago I had drained the battery completely and had to even run off the backup battery as I quickly finished what I was doing. I had since fully charged the battery and thought there were no problems.
Then suddenly a couple of days ago, I looked up and it was stuck at 33%. When I tried to switch from "Percentage" to "Time", all I got was a "Calculating...", which it never actually did. I tried unplugging the computer, and it indeed did run off battery power, so it was at least communicating power-wise, if not information-wise. Two days of fiddling around offered no solutions. (Zapped the PRAM, reset PMU). Meanwhile the battery kept on not charging.
Then, I start typing here and suddenly the battery is communicating with the computer. Percentage is ticking up and there is even an estimated "time until full". However, System Profiler still does not see any battery, or in fact even give me anything to click on for power management. It's not under Hardware, Software, Network or Logs. "Extended Report" doesn't find it either. I'm hoping I am just missing it somehow... is "Battery Information" hidden somewhere?
The battery plug has now switched from green to orange and the indicator icon from a battery with a plug, to a battery with a lightning bolt. While I was trying to figure out the problem, I have taken out the battery several times, so I doubt it would be a simple connection issue.
While I would like to believe my computer has magically healed itself, I suspect that something is still amiss. Maybe earlier versions of System Profiler did not have Battery Info?

Hi, RW, and welcome to Apple Discussions. System Profiler prior to the version that came with Tiger doesn't report any battery info. If you're running Panther, that's why you can't find anything about your battery in SP. Jeremy Kezer's XBattery will provide info about your battery in Panther.
Test to see whether your battery charges with a different, known-good AC adapter. That's the cheapest component of the charging system to replace if yours is faulty, and with luck that will prove to be where the problem lies. Other possibilities are a bad battery, DC-In board, or logic board.

MY SCREEN WILL NOT ROTATE! THERE IS ALSO A PICTURE OF A LOCK WITH A CIRCLE AROUND IT IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER BESIDE MY BATTERY INFO. HOW DO I GET MY SCREEN TO ROTATE?

my screen will not rotate, how do i change this. there is also a picture of a lock w a circle around it in the upper right corner of screen beside my battery info.

ok ipad or iphone??
iphone - double tap the home button (the round button with the white square) then drag your finger across the button across the bottom of the screen (left to right) when the quick access bar opens. then u will see a icon on the left hand side that looks like that icon next to the battery. tap on that and it will disable the rotation lock fetcher
ipad - double tap the home button (the round button with the white square) then drag your finger across the button across the bottom of the screen (left to right) when the quick access bar opens. then u will see a icon on the left hand side that looks like that icon next to the battery. tap on that and it will disable the rotation lock. if it dose not open try the switch on the side of the ipad that is a rotation lock switch in ios 3.x and in ios 4.3 it has the option to be a rotation lock switch.

Does this battery info look normal to you?

Hi, longtime Mac user who really doesn't understand battery charges and cycles.
This is what my system profiler says right now.
My 15inch MacBook pro has 4GB RAM (Apple) and a 7200 RPM drive 320 GB (also Apple). It is about 3 weeks old.
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1602
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4593
Health Information:
Cycle count: 7
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -1462
Voltage (mV): 11153
Is the negative amperage normal?
Normally, it's hooked up to a 24 inch Apple display (the new kind) with the power adapter plugged in, but I do unplug it and use the Macbook Pro on battery a few times a week. Currently, I've been using it for 2:02 and there's 26% charge left, according to my screen, although that percentage number always seems to drop fast, although it could just be my imagination.
Right now, I have the following launched:
Safari
Mail
iChat
Skype
Preview
iTunes
and system profiler.
I checked my activity monitor and there's nothing in the background doing anything out of the ordinary.
I'm using the 9400 graphics - haven't even tried the 9600 yet. And I have the illuminated keyboard on although set to switch off after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Is there anything here that looks weird to you? From what I'm reading I thought my full charge capacity seemed quite low at 4593 - shouldn't it be higher on a computer that's about 3 weeks old?
There might be nothing wrong and I might be paranoid. And I should say that I have NOT calibrated the battery yet and I feel like an idiot for not doing so - I'm currently waiting for my MacBook pro to completely discharge and then I'll do the 5 hours and then plug it back in.
Any thoughts/advice are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott

that seems alittle low. try a complete cycle drain to zero and do a full recharge let it get to 100% and then check again.
a 15" uMBP ive been using is about 2 months old or so and its usually always plugged in (the battery technology seems alot more robust and solid with these machines)

Looking for App that displays more Battery info?

Hello
I looking for an App wo gives me indication if the battery is in good health. This means gives me the actual battery capacity versus the original capacity. Every PowerBook and MacBook gives this info in the System Profiles or with Coconut
eg.
Model Information:
Serial Number: 9G019049ABCDF
Manufacturer: DP
Device name: bq20z951
Pack Lot Code: 0000
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 0301
Hardware Revision: 0001
Cell Revision: 0119
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 12404
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 13093
Health Information:
Cycle count: 13
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -3
Voltage (mV): 8235
Is their such an App or is it not possible to read out this information out of the iPhone?
Who knows more?
Gérard

I recently purchased the mSecure app for the same purpose but cannot get it to sync with the desktop version via wifi as it is supposed to do. Support response from mSecure has been good but still no luck syncing. All of these types of apps require syncing via wi-fi but not much good if it doesn't work. I've tried all of the suggested work-arounds to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome. I'm trying to sync to a Windows laptop. I'm reluctant to use the same type of apps that back up to an online storage site for security purposes.

IPhone battery usage normal?

So I've noticed lately that my iPhones battery isn't what it used to be. So I sat down today and pretty much reloaded the iTunes trailers page over and over again for 5 minutes over wifi, and my phone used up 5% of the battery... At this rate, my phone would go from fully charged to dead in a little over an hour and a half, while Apples website says 9 hours of usage over wifi.
Is this normal? I have the Bluetooth deactivated and brightness at around halfway. Also, I know that batteries are only good for a certain amount of charge cycles before they start losing overall capacity, does anyone know how to check the charge cycle count on ones iPhone?
Thanks in advance for the help.
-Chris

Try fully discharging and then fully recharging the battery to recalibrate the battery meter. If that doesn't work, try a Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. You'll then need to resetup your email and resync your iTunes library.

Satellite Pro A200 - Is 26 minutes of battery life normal?

Hi All,
My Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old (or young :P) and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of _26 minutes_ under "high performace" mode in Vista - other power modes increase the time by only 5-7 minutes.
I have tweated the system setup to:
- run as few programs at startup;
- to use as little memory in relation to graphics (as in diabled vista themes, and "fancy" operations such as show contents of window whilst dragging).
- remain on the lowest brightness level.
The programs that do run on startup are my anti virus (F-Secure), and ATI catalyst control.
I have also cleaned the registry of any conflicts and regularly virus scan.
I have used Ubuntu on this laptop as well and the battery life is not that much better, which brings me to the conclusion that the battery is nearing its end.
I was wondering if this battery life time (26 minutes max on high performace) is normal for a laptop after only 1.5 years?* (I don't remember how long it lasted when I first bought it).
Also, I have a laptop from other manufacturer of 2 years and the charge of its battery lasts a minimum of 4 hours (on Windows XP).
Both notebooks batteries are 6 cell.
Any suggestions of how to improve my battery life?
Thanks in advance.

>Satellite Pro A200 laptop is just over 1.5 years old and I have a huge problem with the battery - it only lasts for a total of 26 minutes under "high performace" mode in Vista
The battery working time depends on different factors:
If different hardware parts like CPU, GPU, HDD, ODD, display are running with highest performance then your battery working time will decrease dramatically
Additionally if you would lose an stronger battery (9 cell or 12 cell) then you should be abele run the notebook much longer using battery power.
Furthermore the battery loses the own performance systematically and after a long time of usage you will have to replace the battery.
However, if you want you could check the Vista Power Options in order to increase the battery working time:
Here is a nice article:
How to handle the power management features of Windows Vista

But in worst case you will need a new, stronger battery

Is the battery acting normally?

Hello!
So i just got iPhone5s yesterday.. and i was wondering if the battery is acting normally
I charged it 100%.. and used it for about 6 hours, with stand-by-time 15 hours *some of this time was in offline mode* until it died
Cellular data was off and only using wifi..
Is that normal?
Because if its not then I can exchange it

Run it through a complete discharge/recharge cycles a few times. Mine seemed to do the same thing when I first got it. I'm speculating the battery meter needs the cycles to calibrate. As for the heating mine seemed unusually warm the first couple of charges but now hardly at all. I guess you could compare it to a break-in period.

Battery info very inaccurate...

I know apple said the battery display was approximate but it will be 100% straight off the charger and I will play ~30 secs. of video and stop. the battery bar is down to like 80% and then after about 2 mins. it goes back up to 100%. It really needs to be more accurate because I can't tell how much longer I have left. My battery is dead every day when I get home from school and I watch probally 5 mins of video during the day and about 2 hours of music or LESS and when I get home its down to 5-10%. Today it died completly but I can understand that, I watched the family guy movie for about 30 mins and when I started the battery was at like 10% then I paused it after 20 mins of playback and the battery was completly gone, I couldent see any color in the bar but yet it still played another 10 mins of video.
summary:
I get scared at school because my battery is down to like 15% with an hour or 2 left in school and I dont want it to die before I get home because the bus is so annoying and I gotta have my music. but yet I can watch 30 mins of video when the battery is at 10%. its confusing to figure out how much time I really have left.. i really hope apple at least trys to make it a little more accurate.

but the thing is, 3 days ago I wanted to test the battery so I played the family guy movie (about 1 hour 30 mins) and the battery lasted so i started it again and it lasted for a total of about 2 hours and 10 mins.
so I think the battery is alright but the battery indicator is giving false info and its scaring me.. im about to test the video playback again and see if it lasts for 2 hours.
btw mine is also engraved and I dont have a local apple store.. kentucky isint the most popular state

How to get battery info

I'm running Panther on my powerbook & wondering how I can get info on my battery such as cycle counts. This does not show up in my system profiler.
Thanks,
Bob

Battery info in the terminal...

According to this article at MacFixit you can get info about your battery in the terminal using the following command.
ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity
When I type this in terminal I get something that says
usage: ioreg [-b] [-c class etc...
where options are:
-b show object name in bold
etc...
I was looking for the info like the article shows. Does anybody know how to obtain this info?
Chris
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.2 GHZ 1.25 GB RAM

This Syntax works for me. i think that you not type correct. But, you could try this: ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n battery -w 0 | grep IOBatteryInfo.
