Battery problems - indication and capacity

Hello everyone. I have some problems with my battery:not only does it discharge in a matter of 5 hours, but also:
1)Inaccurate iOS battery indicator:iPhone shuts down with 15-20% shown, and then powers on with 10%, to proceed to shut down this time at 2-4%. Other means of battery monitoring show 5-10% less charge in the battery than the system indicator. Also, it is more accurate on wi-fi.
2)Battery capacity is at 1062 mAh! Design capacity is 1430 mAh. Has it deteriorated that much? 260 cycles on the battery. Should I replace it?
Thanks for answers

Try rebooting the iPhone by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
If this does not help the performance, take the iPhone and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics.

Iphone5 battery problem discharging and would not start up

Hello there, rockyjamesolsson.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great pointers for troubleshooting issues with your iOS device not charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Logic Board Battery Problem: Symptoms and Consequences

Hello everyone!
When I cold start my Mac - a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 - I get a pop up window with the following message:
"Your computer's clock is set to a date before March 24th 2001. This may cause some applications to behave erratically. Please use the Date & Time preference panel to set the clock manually. For more information, choose Mac Help from the Help menu."
I've been getting this message since I first got the machine this past November, but since the system clock is automatically set by the network (right after the message gets generated), I just close the window and get on with the rest of my day. However, I finally decided to call Apple Tech Support about it. They told me the symptoms indicate that the battery on the logic board has gone bad and if I want to get the battery replaced I need to send my machine to Apple to have this done.
Since it would be a major inconvenience for me to send the machine out for repair, I am wondering what additional functionality this battery performs. I am willing to live with getting this message every time I cold start the machine, but would not want to rung the risk of a major malfunction occurring as a result of not replacing the battery.
So - I am wondering, does anyone know what functionality this battery performs in addition to running the system clock? Also, what might be the consequences of neglecting to replace this battery?
All opinions are greatly appreciated 8-)
1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4

Well, that begins to narrow it down... 12", 15", etc.?
Again, what exact model PowerBook?
I use "exact" literally.
Perhaps this KB article will help.
It may well be the case that your PB has to be returned for an internal battery replacement, since there is no replacement listed for it in this previously-cited document. However, I'd be very surprised by that and can find no documentation to either support or deny their claim. You may want to call them back to double-check this.
There are some Mac portable models that do not have an internal battery, aka a "backup battery." Those Macs use a capacitor, rather than a battery, to maintain PRAM while the main battery is swapped.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's some confusion with AppleCare w.r.t. the terms "backup battery" vs. "capacitor" after reading the last paragraph of this KB article. If there is a capacitor problem, then you PB would have to be returned for service.
Good luck!

What is this noise, and battery problem on Iphone 4S

There was a battery problem on Iphone 4s so i was worried to buy it, but once I heard that Apple published new ios 5.0.1, I went down to the Apple store near to my house, and I bought Iphone 4S. First time meet with Iphone 4S great Siri, and more faster processer, I liked it, but after I used for 1 week I found many problems, there was battery problem still, and even there was noise problem, expeciallly the noise problem is annoying because when I phone call to my friend or home I can hear it very clealy...
please fix it apple

Reset, will reset the battery meter is this is the problem. To Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not better, try tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. The set up your iPhone again. If not better, you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware, I would perform this with iTunes on your computer.

Battery Problems, Poor Performance

I was wondering if anyone else has been having battery problems as of late? I've tried turning off push notifications and disabling apps running in the background. I also keep location services turned off almost all the time. The battery performance on IPod Touch is just lousy.

This is what i did the other day.
-backup iPod to iCloud
-upgraded my iPod from 5.0.1 to 5.1.
-iPod still beeing slow and somthing was taking up space
-restored it
-used bkup from iCloud
-everything beeing fast again
so no, no battery problems here
And btw, my battery used to drain over night from 100% to 70% over 6hrs during the night not beeing used. Weird right?

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

Press and hold both the home and power button until the apple symbol shows up, about 15 seconds.

My iPhone randomly turns off by itself with battery remaining. I can turn on the iPhone by hard restart. But sometimes it turns on at fifth, sixth, or more try. did anyone have this problem? and how can I fix it?

When my phone was off it wouldn't connect to iTunes, i got it working now though. I just had to hold my lock button and my home button down long enough. Thanks anyways though!

I final piece for me in the jigsaw following on from this
http://www.care4pcs.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-be-happy-gmail-user-on-iphone-or.html
is to turn off wifi when you do not need it. When I leave the house I turn off wifi, because the majority of the times when my iPhone has got very hot and crashed is when I am away from home. I suspect that if the iPhone is in the vicinity of public wifi (wheather secure or not secure) it will try and connect, even if you have 'automatically join known networks' set to off. This is easy of course if you have an unlimited data contract for your iPhone. I may be wrong, but it is working for me. It makes sense for me because it is another way of reducing the work the processor (and battery) has to do and therefore reduces the chance of overheating.
Having said that, I never had this problem with my iPhone 4. I now have a 4S.
Try it. Hope it works for you.

Ibook g4 shutting down and battery problems

A couple months ago, just a couple weeks after my warranty coverage ended..., my ibook started having problems. It would go to sleep randomly and shut down randomly. I tried resetting the PMU, that did nothing to fix the problem. I would have to unplug the charger and take out the battery for a few minutes in order to get my computer to start back up. This problem got worse over the next couple weeks and would shut down several times a day.
I started to realize that when i had my computer in my lap or not on a hard stable surface or i moved it, it shut down more often. So i treated my laptop as a desktop and left it on my desk and never moved it. This decreased the random shutting down to twice a week instead of several times daily.
Now a new problem has arised and i'm not sure if its related to this. In the last 24 hours my computer has not been able to charge correctly or hold a charge. Its hooked up to the power cord right now and its not turning on or charging. I was able to get it to charge a little like 3% about 3 hours ago, but now nothing.
At this point i'm over ibooks and apple but i still want to know what the problem is and if its fixable. is this something i can fix myself? any suggestions? i'm not willing to pay more than $200 to fix this stupid thing... Thanks!

Yeah I have the exact same thing happening to me right now. Last model ibook G4, it sits on my desk all day and is ok w/o movement, but at home will randomly tell me I must shut it down, more often if I move it. Its still under warranty, so i'm gonna take it in and see what they do to it....

Macbook pro late 2010 battery at 24 cycles for 15 weeks computer and capacity is already 93%, anything wrong?

How many cycles depends on how often you drain the battery down low and then recharge it to maximum, ideally use it a little less on battery and a bit more on mains and the cycle count will slow down. Every couple of months you need to re-calibrate the Battery for best long term results.

Sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem lcommonly battery problem

sir since update of ios 8.1.2 i got serious battery problem on 3g 4.30 hrs my battery gets low and sometimes serious net probelms please give an update for this issue its not alone me my friends too getting many problem commonly battery problem please can this be resolved
its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck
