Battery wont stop charging

I got my ipod around 5 months ago, but recently the battery wont stop charging. i had my ipod plugged into the wall socket adaptor for around 10 hours, and when i checked it this morning, the charging icon was still filling up, showing that the battery was still not full. its hard to tell how much battery i have right now, casue the indicator is fluctuating between around 75% and 90%. anyone know whats going on? its a 4th gen. ipod mini, BTW.

X201 Battery Suddenly Stopped Charging

I'm a new user of the X201. I was sold on the 'name' and 'reliability' and 'quality' of the product, the X201, on the design and size and power. So I paid the premium for this notebook, where I could have easily bought TWO Acers with similar power and storage etc.
This was in June 2010..
The battery suddenly stopped charging and status was 'amber' and software says battery is charging... it's not.
battery condition is all green... good...
what's happening?
Moderator note; post moved to here to start new thread, subject edited

I am experiencing the same issue with my X201i. It is just weeks old and battery has been used for five cycles.
Unfortunately it seem to not want to charge the battery anymore, and it stays as 0%. I have been in touch with Lenovo, and they are shipping a new battery that I will try. However, I tried to upgrade form bios 1.14 to latest, but this did also failed because of no charged battery which is required for a upgrade :-(
Any more updates on this so I can try to get the battery charging again?

Battery never stops charging....

I have a Powerbook I got back in September of last year, and overall I've really enjoyed using it, but I have a somewhat unusual problem. I'm hoping that it's only my impatience and that there isn't really anything to worry about, but let me begin.
I often use my machine while it is plugged into an AC outlet, with the battery installed in the bottom of the machine. Now, after the battery is fully charged, it shouldn't start charging again until the battery percentage drops below %94, according to the user's manual. Also, the light is supposed to change from amber to green and stay that color until the machine begins charging again. However, my machine seems to be in a continuous state of charging, even after I am supposedly charged up to full capacity. This only happens while I am operating the machine on AC power, not when I'm charging the machine with the power off. In fact, right now my batter is supposedly at full capacity, but instead of getting the "plug" battery icon, at the top of my screen I still see the "charge" icon with (calculating) displayed where the time should be. I thought that maybe it was simply finishing its charging for the last little bit, but even if I unplug the power cable and re-plug it, it will switch to the "plug" icon for a second and then resume charging.
To sum up, my machine continues to charge even after it is supposed to stop. I tried the battery updater, but it said that I didn't need the update. If someone could provide me instructions on resetting the PMU, I intend to try that next. Please, anybody else who is having this problem let me know if there is an easy solution. Thanks.
Powerbook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5Ghz, 1GB RAM

Okay, so I misjudged. The machine does recognize the full charge available now. I imagine that there must be some sort of strange interaction involved between the mouse and the rest of the hardware on startup, because it was fine after I booted up with the mouse disconnected. Either that, or it just takes a very long time to charge the last little bit of capacity available to the battery before it's done, and the machine doesn't recognize the battery as full until it's "cycled" and the plug shows green for the first time.

Early MB-A Battery has stopped charging

G'day All - I have an early MBA that has just stopped charging the battery.
The adapter still powers the computer and shows the green LED, but it never goes amber now showing the battery being charged. I have changed adapters, reset the SMC and PRAM - all without change.
If take out the adapter, the computer instantly dies. On restart after sudden death, with the adapter plugged in of course - only way to restart - the computer clock has lost all track of date/time. Interestingly, if I shutdown/restart with the adapter remaining connected throughout, it doesnt lose the date and time. Bizarre!
CoconutBattery says the battery is in good shape but not charging. It shows 17% and that does not change - I thought it might slowly reduce with some kind of trickle discharge
AHT doesn't run on this computer.
Feels like a hardware failure to me - any ideas please?
Thanks

Read through this thread and see if something there works for you.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Plugged-in-not-charging/m-p/729371/highlight/true#M48...
Does the laptop work with just the adapter ?
What happens when you drain the battery to 12% and try charging it, or have you done that already ?

Satellite C50-A-1G7 - battery has stopped charging

My C50 has a battery issue. A few weeks old, it stopped charging. First it started charging (as seen on the windows power icon) slowly until 61% then zipped to 100%. But since then, the computer won't work on battery. The charging light does not come on(, but did so before). For all intends and purposes, it looks as there is no battery present, except that the software (windows and toshiba help stuff) insists there is a fully charged battery present.
Now, it probably is a faulty battery or connector, but to avoid going to the shop needlessly, I would like to verify if there is a bios update available. Since it is a relatively new, maybe not but the toshiba site is not the most clear. Anyway I couldn't find any bios update on the pages for Satellite C50-A-1G7.
Currently my bios is 1.20 with EC version 1.00
tnx

To be honest I don't think BIOS update can be solution for this. Anyway, you can check which BIOS version is offered on BIOS download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp
Im afraid you must contact nearest Toshiba service. They have special tools and can check hardware functionality.

Powerbook G4 battery wont fully charge

My computer has been plugged in for at least a week, and its not fully powered. It stops at 84 percent. and when i click show>time, it always says still calculating
help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
How many cycles do you have on your battery, and what is it's current capacity? If it doesn't show up in your system profiler under power, go to http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx and download a battery status program.
Lithium battery life is not measured by time, rather by the number of charge/discharge cycles. Apple says a properly maintained battery should retain 80% charge after 300 charge/discharge cycles. If you haven't already, this Apple article discusses battery maintenance: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
You might try resetting your power management unit (PMU) which may help, follow directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

MY Z10 BATTERY WONT FULLY CHARGED,STOPPED AT 89%

MY Z10 (BOUGHT ON MARCH 2013) DOESNT FULLY CHARGED.
No matter how long I charge it, it always stopped at 90% or 89%.
i've tried charging with phone off, leave it overnight, until the morning the yellow led light still blinking (if its fully charged, the led light will be green).
Anyone facing this issue as well?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this 2-3 times, the next time you're charging the device... connected to the wall outlet charger, leave it charging and remove the battery a minute, reinsert and reboot. See if that resets the charge reading. Often the on-device software reading of the charge is offsync with the actual battery charge.

Battery Wont Fully Charge

My iPhone doesn't seem to reach fully charge ever. I left it charging all night and it still wasn't full. Today I've been charging it most of the afternoon and still, it wont ever get to fully charged. Anyone else have this problm/know what to do about it?

Ditto. My battery's been charhing off the wall for over 8 hours and there's still a sliver of "non-charge" on the big screen and the thunderbolt icon on the little battery icon on the top right. On top of this, the battery readings seem to decrease slowly until all of a sudden I get the "battery at 20%" warning. And this with *very light usage*. The battery life has been abysmal so far. Make two phone calls of a couple of minutes each and it drains the battery. Use the iPod for about 20-30 min. and it drains the battery. Even without using it at all the battery noticeably goes down every half hour or so.
Lastly, what may be a related problem...my iPhone says "No Wi-Fi" in Settings so I can't even turn the wi-fi on or off, it's like it wasn't there (though I remember configuring it and it running in my wireless LAN at home). Also in "About" there is no MAC address for the Wi-Fi radio.
Very frustrating...especially the battery life. Hope the line's not too long at the Apple store tomorrow, and I can get it replaced sometime this week....

IPod Video Battery Wont completely Charge

I left my ipod hooked up for two days straight and its still charging. The battery is also staying red. What's worng?

Well I think that you should be using USB 2.0 not firewire iPod isn't supported on the computer so I don't think it should be suported by the wall adapter and if it is than I don't think it will give right information on charging.

Battery suddenly stopped charging

I've got an early 2011 MPB (2,8). It went from having a battery that charged up just fine to one that will now only read 0%. I've dug through a lot of forums and done the SMC reset and PRAM reset to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem(?) I'm also wondering if there's anyway to do a reset on the firmware - from what I could glean online some MBPs have the option to restore firmware with a Restore CD, but it doesn't seem there's a version for my model.
thanks in advance.

Battery stopped charging; won't run from battery

A couple of days ago, my computer stopped running from battery, and stopped charging the battery. I can see that the level is 67%, but that never goes up, and it shuts down if I unplug the power adapter.
Here is XBattery info:
Installed: Yes
Charging: No
Charger: Yes
Battery%: 67
Max. cap: 4.400Ah
Curr. cap: 2.271Ah
Charge: 1.534Ah
Voltage: 11.850V
Amperage: 0
Cycles: 680
Flags: 41000005
Anyone know how I can fix this?

I have the same issue with my Powerbook G4 15" Aluminum (battery not charging and clock not retaining date and time). A 3rd party warranty company is trying to say it's the rechargable battery but I think it's something to do wit hthe small battery located on a daughter board on the motherboard. Can anyone verify this or does this sound like a totally different issue?
The battery was replaced under the recall less than a year ago.
Thanks,
Bob
