Battery Low Level Warning

From what I've read, I have been having the same battery problems as most of you here. So after getting a replacement battery from an Apple Store, Im wanting to get the most out of my new one.
Here's the thing, so somewhere in the middle of my battery failing and my computer randomly shutting down, the low level warning prompt, turned off. Where do turn the warning prompt to "yes" instead of "no"? I can't seem to find it, other than knowing its off when looking under the Power section in System Profiler.
Thanks for the help. This forum is amazing.

Thanks for the response. But I still have another question. Why, if the prompt is automatic, then does it read as "NO" in the power section of System Profiler. I have the new battery in and it JUST got to 100%. Im thinking about calibrating it right now. Would you suggest that being a good idea or not? I know how to calibrate it, but I dont know when the best time to start it first.
Thanks again.

  • MacBook Pro Shuts down when battery low without warning

    Hi
    My MBP has been quite power efficient. However, for the last 3 days (since I installed the Mac Update to 10.4.7, I think) when the computer runs on battery the computer switches off without warning. This happens when the battery power is about 25%. It wont restart until I connect it to the AC adapter. Upon start up the battery level is 22%.
    The computer doesn't go into sleep or warns it just up and quits.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Same problem here with a 17" MacBook Pro that I have had less than a week. Just last night it started doing it. This is so frustrating, especially since it's a week 25 model. At 28%, it shuts off with no warning, and pressing the button on the battery shows no charge (no lights come on). It was working fine before, and I had already tried resetting the PMU and calibrating the battery.
    I called AppleCare, and the lady I spoke with had to do some checking, and I waited on hold for a long time. When she got back, she told me that she had spoken with a product specialist and that my serial number wasn't covered by the battery recall. She then tried to tell me that the computer shutting off by itself at 28% is "normal behavior," and I should make sure to keep my battery charged up and not let it get that low. She went on to say that the battery isn't covered by the warranty, so she couldn't send me a new battery and I should take my computer to an authorized service provider (the nearest of which is 80 miles away) to have them diagnose the problem.
    I told her (nicely) that it is most certainly not normal behavior--it's unacceptable. So she put me on the line with a product specialist, who I had to convince that there was a problem with my battery. I told him that the full charge capacity has been fluctuating all over the place and that I've been getting poor battery life (due to the fluctuating capacity combined with the computer shutting off at 28%).
    He said that even though my serial number wasn't covered by the battery recall, he would send me a new one. And of course I had to give him my credit card number to ensure that I returned my old one.
    Anyway, hopefully the new battery fixes it for me. If I can remember, I'll update on my situation in case anyone's interested.

  • Ibook - low level battery warning

    hello:
    all of a sudden the low level battery warning indicator stopped working. i checked the system profile and it informed me that it's not on. how do i turn this back on, again.
    please help. this is more of an annoyance than anything.
    thanks.
    -angela

    My understanding is that it indicates the current status of the indicator. In other words, if your battery is charged and the iBook is running off of it, there is no low level warning.
    If, though, you run the battery down on a given cycle and you've received the low level battery warning-- then it will say Yes!
    At least that's what I've found out reading on these boards and on line. I just made the very same discovery you did about this and was curious.
    I was checking it out because, oddly, I'm not getting the low level battery warning any more-- and with, supposedly 30 minutes or so left, the iBook will suddenly shut OFF entirely--no warning-- and that means losing anything that's not been saved!
    Haven't figured out what's with that... my battery cycles are only 187 way below the number expected... the Full Charge Capacity (mAh), however, is only 1689mAh instead of the NEW 4400.
    Anyone have some suggestions? I reset PRAM which did not work, power cycled the battery, which did not work, and have recently reset the PMU. I haven't run it down again, so let's see if the PMU tip/trick works!

  • IPhone ~needs~ an AUDIBLE Battery-low warning during calls!!!

    Okay, I've been needing to do this for quite some time. I'm actually surprised to find no one else has made this complaint yet (that I've been able to find).
    I am absolutely sick and tired of my iPhone dying in the middle of a call because I was not alerted to the battery's status once it got to 20% or lower.
    Does it make sense to anyone else that this happens? You're on a call, to your knowledge the battery was full or reasonably full before but now that you're talking you can't see the screen and you're not thinking about it so you keep talking. A while later your call drops and as you start to curse AT&T once again for the miserable coverage & constantly dropping calls you see that it's not them after all, but your phone's dead battery.
    Come on Apple.... How hard can it possibly be to program in an AUDIBLE-IN-CALL alert that tells you that your battery is about to die. This is so basic and simple that I'm finding it hard to believe that this hasn't been addressed before now!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone. I will never need another phone as long as there is some variation of the iPhone in existence. But seriously, this is something that should have been dealt with AGES AGO.
    I don't feel like I should even have to be saying this, but when you are in a call, your phone is against your ear, or if you use a headset of some kind, your phone is likely in a pocket. A Battery-Low warning that comes up on the screen is NOT going to be visible. There NEEDS to be a way for the iPhone to notify the user of a Battery-Low status that ACTUALLY GETS THEIR ATTENTION, not simply to remind them AFTER they've got it charging again that, yes, now that the phone is charging and back up from 0%, that the battery is still in-fact below 20%....
    I really am a reasonably devoted Apple fan, but I am highly annoyed by this, because while I have had my iPhone 3G since the week they were released, whenever the above problem would happen to me I just assumed it would only be a matter of time before it got ironed out. I mean, come on, Apple's a smart company, and this is such a basic thing that lesser phones have had this programmed into their OS's going back to some of the very first cellular phones in existence, I know, I've owned a few.
    Apple, Please. Fix this.
    Thank you in advance.

    And the option is still the same.  Give feedback to Apple directly at www.apple.com/feedback.
    Nothing anyone can do here, other than recommend that you be more aware of your battery life.  Keep it connected to a power source when not in use, or if one is readily available when you are using it.  I have a charger for home, one for my car, and one at work.  I never see the battery low indicators, except in very rare cases.  It's very rare for my battery to be below 50%.

  • Why don't I get a battery low warning anymore, laptop just turns off?

    My laptop is only just over a year old and I no longer get a battery low warning message. My computer just switches off. Have I disabled the warning somehow?
    The battery lasts for about an hour and a half which isn't great. This is what System Profiler says about it:
    Model Information:
    Serial Number: SMP-bq20z951-3a6c-fac
    Manufacturer: SMP
    Device name: bq20z951

    Cell Revision: 0100
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 1427
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3751
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 339
    Condition: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): -1921
    Voltage (mV): 10690
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You have the removable battery? In that case, you can expect it to have up to 80% of original capacity at 300 cycles. You have 390 cycles, and it's probably got less than 80% capacity if it only lasts 1 1/2 hour. It's very likely just at the end of its useful life. If you go to an Apple Store, they can stress test it for you, and very likely you will be told you need a new one.
    Coconut Battery will show you the current battery capacity vs. the original battery capacity. Mine has 88% capacity after 259 cycles, but the last time I tried to calibrate it, my Mac shut off instead of going to sleep, although I did get the warning. I don't know if you can really calibrate it if it shuts down suddenly. The health on mine didn't change after the last shutdown.
    Good luck!

  • Where has my "Battery Low" warning gone?

    Where has my "Battery Low" warning gone?
    When it got below 5% (I think) I used to get a warning come up.  Now for about last 2 or 3 weeks it just shuts down with no warning.  Plus when I attach the power lead & switch on the battery status says it is at 27%.

    We had a genuine battery fitted by Apple about 9mths ago.
    Any Help will be appreciated

    Reset the SMC. I'm pretty sure that model has a removeable battery, so you want this method:
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    You shouldn't be running the battery down that low on a regular basis though. It'll shorten the life of the battery.

  • 10.5.7? Battery Low warning no longer appears

    This is new. My 1.5Ghz G4 laptop powerbook goes to sleep without the usual early warning. I have run the battery down, reset the PMU, PRAM and NVRAM and the situation remains. The recent update is ominously coincident. Is it just me?
    Ed

    OK, it seems to be working again now. I let the PB run down again so it went to sleep without warning. Following the Apple support docs, I removed the battery and reset the PRAM, the reattached the battery and mains lead and booted into open firmware by holding down the power button until the prompt appeared, then I reset the NVRAM and booted.
    I let the PB charge until the light went green and left it connected to mains for over 2 hours. Removed the mains lead and ran down the battery, it quit without warning again. Repeated the charge/wait/discharge cycle and this time the battery low warning DID appear.
    Still charging at the moment so the power settings look kind of sensible, will post new settings when back on battery power.

    Depends on how long you have had your iPod. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod. Or take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP. 

  • Nokia N8 and strange battery low notifications

    I have strange experience with my Nokia N8 notifications about low battery. Other Nokia phones sending lots of "beep's" when battery level is low - my N8 sends only one (maybe 2, but this last one is before phone turning off). First one with asking, that i will turn on power safe mode and 2nd (whatever i choose power saveing mode or not) is the last one "Battey empty. Please charge" (or something similar.
    I think this is very strange and **bleep** off behavior. Any1 had like me? Is any fix for this issue?
    Thanks from advance for usefull tips and sorry, because my English is very weak.

    I agreed with that, but what if i don't know, that my phone have battery low, because i left it on table or other place in house and i don't hear first warning? Phone will discharge battery for good and turn off itself. I have few situations, when i don't hear this first (and only) warning and i was suprised at the morning, when i saw my phone is turned off or in the middle of the day, when someone tells me, that he can't call in to me (because phone died). Other situation when i must use my phone when i have 10% of battery power, after switching to power safe mode (like quick check when i have bus on Internet, quick call to somebody or what is WORSE: when i write long text in QuickOffice and phone shows me middle finger...
    Other Nokia's having LiON batteries too and they have normal notifications. Some thing is really messed up here and it must be fixed. I feel like HTC HD2 user (i was HD2 user), because this phone do exactly the same "trick"...

    I would say that it's pretty low disk space.
    Partitioning is a personal thing, it depends on how much you install. Some need only 5 GB, some need e.g. 40 GB.

  • Battery low - not low - low - not low

    Hi all,
    My iPod Mini has been behaving very oddly recently. It's fully charged, I get about an hour of play from it, it's still charged and then it suddenly wipes out as "low battery". This usually happens after changing tracks (when a previous one finishes, not a manual change from me).
    So, I wait a few minutes, turn the iPod on again and quickly select the first song I can get to, pause the song, turn the iPod off - during this stage the battery indicator is showing completely empty and I have to rush to do it before the "battery low" warning and shut-down.
    A few minutes later, I turn the iPod on again and listen to that track for about 20-30 seconds. During this time the battery indicator is still completely empty - but after the 20-30 seconds it goes back up to where it "should" have been - about 2/3 full.
    This is then okay for another short while of listening, and then it happens again.
    Anyone else come up with this before?

    do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
