Battery Problem (Charging but returns back to zero percent then back to normal)

I'm kinda frustrated about my macbook pro, I seriously want this to get fixed.  My MBP  is 2  1/2 years  Last week  My mbp shut downed by itself then I figured out that the problem was the battery so I replaced it then bought a new one. I bought a replacement battery not in the apple store but I bought it online(somewhere cheap).
so now the big problem was after installing the new battery my mbp is charging but it returns back to zero percent then back to normal, so I can't pull out the charger from my computer because it will shut down.
please help me.
thanks!

Your problem is the cheap battery. No need to post a serial number. I will have a moderator remove it.

  • 4 days old MBP 13". First boot up showed charge of 100%, next boot up showed battery fully charged but the percentage read 98% in the subsequent boot ups the battery is fully charged but percentage reads 96%. Whats wrong??

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

    Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

  • Battery shows charging but stuck on 28% and does not hold charge

    i am using HP DV6-6107tx, i got a new extended battery from anker which seemed to be running fine untill it discharged while i was playing watch dogs.
    now my laptop wouldn't power on just on the battery, everything works fine if it is on charging, but the battery does not hold charge and my system powers off immediately on removing AC adapter. the battery shows "28% Charging" but does not increase or decrease the percentage even after hours of charging both while system is on and off.
    i checked the battery in battery test from HP Support Assistant and it says that the battery status is ok, now i have tried the below methods with no luck :
    power off and press power button methods.
    uninstall and reinstall battery from device manager methods.
    battery check from HP Assistant.
    updating Bios to F.1b method.
    updating the HP Support Assistant.
    and all the other methods i could think of or read on HP's site.
    can anyone guide me as to what is the issue here ?       i don't have another machine to test my battery on, the charging lights are fine except that the light does not change color which it did on full charging the battery. i did try on 2 different adapters.
    now if it were a motherboard or IC issue, would it not have said 'not charging' in windows ? in my case it says charging.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, M_Bilal
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
    I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
    You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
    The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
    The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
    I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
    Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Battery is charged but will not power Powerbook

    According to iStat and the Powerbook, my battery is charged. Also, all lights will light up if I take the battery out and press the button.
    When I try to turn the Powerbook on with battery power it will not work. Also, when I take the plug out while the system is on, the Powerbook turns off.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be? I was going to call support, but by the time I settled down this evening they were closed. I don't even know if they are open on Saturdays so I might be stuck until Monday.

    Looks like your battery is in better shape than mine, should be good to go.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver
    From the Settings For drop-down, choose Battery and set for Better Performance.
    If that makes no difference, try resetting your PMU:

  • IPad battery indicating charge but not charging

    Hi guys, my iPad battery is not charging but it is indicating that it is. Here is what I have tried:
    Rebooting the iPad and also a hard reset.
    Cleaning the connection point terminal with isopropyl alcohol.
    Charging with several different cables.
    Charging with several different outlets.
    Could this be a hardware issue? The iPad has been extremely well looked after and has never taken any drops or hard knocks. Should I let the battery die to 0% and charge from there? I'm weary to try this in case I need  it powered for the repair job.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am using the correct adapter that came with the iPad.
    Thanks for your input.

  • N580 Says Battery 80% Charged But Only Works if Plugged in

    My IdeaPad N580 says the battery is 80% charged, but it won't work unless it's plugged in via the power supply.  How do I fix this?

    make sure it's charged. If you're charging via USB and your computer make sure your comptuer doesn't go to sleep. Most computers cut power to their USB when they go to sleep.
    If you charge it and it still won't work, contact Zagg. I've found them to have good customer service and they'll probalby exchange your device.

  • My iPod says its battery is charging but it really isn't

    I have a dilemma.
    I know my USB is 2.0, I'm using a Fifth Generation iPod (iPod Video), and it's plugged into a working USB port.
    But my iPod will no longer charge when I have it connected to my computer.
    Don't suggest a wall charger, I got one but I'd much rather use my computer to charge my iPod because my desk is organized that way.
    It used to charge but since 7.0.2 came out, it no longer does it. Anyone know of a fix for this or a place where I can download an older version of iTunes?

    filehippo.com has older software versions.

  • Satellite L300 - Battery not charging but power is reaching to motherboard

    Hi
    I have dropped the laptop and after that battery is not getting charged. Laptop is working fine with battery only. I have opened the laptop to find if there is any thing got dislodged. But everything was fine. I have checked the power is reaching till motherboard. But its not charging the battery.
    For information I have opened only keyboard and bottom panel to reach the power supply cord. I can see the motherboard top section where I have checked the power supply is reaching.
    Can any body help?
    Thanks.
    abir

    >Can any body help?
    I think the hardware needs to be scanned for possible issues.
    I can only speculate about faulty parts
    It could be the power plug problem or something is broken on the motherboard but its mostly impossible to say whats wrong here
    So get in contact with an local Toshiba authorized service guys to check this.

  • Problem: Charges but not recognised

    Hey all, I connected my mini to my pc, but the pc dosn't detect it, i-tunes dosn't detect it and it dosn't come up with the 'do not disconnect' image, yet it still charges up and the songs still play fine. Ive tried re-installing i-tunes, resetting my pc and have reconnected it many a time. If anybody knows how to solve this problem it would be much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Lucky. My mini is bearly over the six month warrenty period and it wont stay charged. I followed all the trouble shooting steps twice. Apple wants me to pay over 30 bucks to replace the battery. It is still under warrenty!!!!! I am thinking about saleing it on ebay and getting the dell jukebox.

  • Says my brand new battery is charging but dosent change from 0%, after 10 mins the adapter changes to green and the battery dissapears from the mac.

    Like the topic says, have an macbook pro 15 late 2008 works like a charm.
    Have had a bad battery for over a year so today i bought a new one, plugged it in
    and started my mac, said charging and stood on 0% for about 10 mins then the adapter
    turned green and the battery didnt show up on my mac anymore, tried and SMC or whats
    it called, same thing happened again

    battery was -1 amh?

    Hi iphone_warrior,
    thanks for the reply and for your support. However, I did not understand why I as customer should go to the next Apple store nor why I should pay 29,- Euros for the replacement.
    I give you an example. I have an HP printer. Was not working any more after 2 month. HP send me a new printer and took back the old without any charge.
    Apple knows that it is a problem with the phone battery. Why the customer should pay for that. The customer has warranty, the customer paid the product. Apple has to care about the customer. It seems that Apple cares more about to increase its profit and leave the support its customers. Anyhow, if this the only way I have to invest the time and will go for the Apple store. I hope the buggy phone will be replaced by one which is working properly. Otherwise I will go for the offer from Samsung which won't be a good advertisement for Apple at all.
    Best regards, Harun99
    I wonder why this threat has been taken from the discussion forum. Is that the way Apple is working with the feedback from its customers. Very dissapointing.
