Cost for New Battery plus Installation

Just curious on the cost of a new batery and installation cost. This is for a MacBook Air, 13-inch, Late 2010 model. No current issues with laptop -- running fine -- but when I checked Power under System Report, it says Replace Soon under condition, and Cycle Count is 1002.

$129 + tax

Criteria for new battery and case

So I went to my local authorized apple repair place today and talked for quite a while to a very nice genius who left me more confused than ever about how bad a battery needs to be to warrant replacement. There seem to be no clear criteria.
What my battery does is vacillate between believing it has 30% of its original capacity left after 142 cycles and 80%. It lasts about an hour to an hour and a half on battery with bluetooth and airport off and the screen dim, and lately it has begun shutting off suddenly while on battery power.
When I visited the store today, it happened to believe it had 78% of its original capacity left, and it didn't shut off while he was watching it. Apparently 78% capacity was not bad enough to warrant replacement, because he asked if I could either leave the macbook with him for testing, or come back and show him what happens, if I can figure out what triggers the changes in capacity or the sudden shut-off. He said that no log would show a sudden shut-off like I was describing, so he would have to see it himself.
This left me pretty confused, since I thought that even the 78% was low after 142 cycles compared to what other people were reporting. I wonder if there are any objective criteria so that we can KNOW if our batteries are among those that need replacing.
As to the case, I have better news. Mine is one of those cases that has cracked very near the edge, under the right-hand magnet. After examining the rest of the case to make sure it showed no evidence of dents or scratches to suggest it had been dropped, he agreed right away to replace the case and has ordered a new one for me. He seemed to know of the problem and of Apple's willingness to replace such cases.
So that leaves me this weekend trying to figure out when and why my macbook shuts down when it's on battery power so I can reproduce it for the genius ....weird!

I had the same problem with my computer shutting down at 30 minutes left on the battery. You might be better off calling the number in the update. I explained to them the problem and I had a new battery two days later and then you just send the old battery back. No cost.
If you go back to the store ask to speak to the manager. Sounds like you got a genius that is not to bright. If you know when you battery is going to shut off your computer you could have enough on your battery to start it up and after a few minutes when it reaches that point it shuts down.
Mine was always at 30 minutes. You should not have to jump through hoops since this is a known problem.

Time for new battery

My white 13" macbook needs a new battery. Any info on who sells the original battery at a discount (apple price is $129). Or any opinions on maybe buying a third party battery? Thanks!

CAUTION: Don't purchase a McVolt battery from Battery Hippo. From what I can tell Battery Hippo is possibly a front company for fraud. They never answer their phone, nor do they respond to email complaints and their website return request. Battery Hippo sells McVolt batteries that are alleged to be new high capacity (5600mAh) for a discount.
After receiving the "new" battery, it only charged to 5200mAh according to System Profile. Thinking that it just needed to be discharged and recharged a few times to get to maximum capacity (as the instructions suggested), I "recalibrated" the battery five times. With each subsequent discharge and recharge, the battery lost more storage capacity - down to 4200 mAh on the last attempt.
When I tried to contact Battery Hippo, I found out they don't answer the phone, return voicemail, or respond to email. After a frustrating week, I submitted an on-line request to return the battery. They never approved my return request, so I had to send it back without a return authorization. I'M NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF A VISA DISPUTE. BUYING FROM THIS VENDOR WAS A VERY COSTLY MISTAKE: ABOUT 10 HOURS OF ATTEMPTING TO GET THEM OR VISA TO RETURN MY MONEY (GOING ON SINCE SEPTEMBER 24), AND I STILL DON'T HAVE RESOLUTION.
ONCE I GET THIS DISPUTE RESOLVED, I'M GOING TO THE APPLE STORE. I KNOW THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

Suggestions for new battery replacement for 1st gen Ipod?

Hello all,
I recently acquired my brother's 1st gen Ipod mini. I love the thing. As with others, I think I'm having troubles with battery life. I have played songs on it for around 2 hours today. At 1.5 hours of playtime, the battery life indicator was nearly empty (NOTE: I have read this article: http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm and I understand the "lying" battery life indicator). A half hour after this, the unit shut itself off: the battery's charge had been depleted.
I have been looking at ebay and there is one company selling a battery for under 10 dollars with shipping. They seem to be fairly reputable, claiming to be a top supplier of Ipod products and that the batteries it sells are superior to the ones that originally came with the 1st gen mini Ipods. They claim the batteries they are selling are " Internal Li-Polymer Apple Mini iPod Battery
- 600 mAh (High Capacity)
- 3.7 V "
I have ALSO seen a replacement battery for the Ipod mini claiming the following:
" Voltage: 3.7V 550mAh "
Yet another claims:
...our battery which is made and tested to the highest international standard gives you a capacity of 650 mAh which is 50% more than the original Apple battery. The original Apple iPod part number is EC003. This is a brand new high-quality generic (non-OEM) battery."
My question is has anyone replaced the battery on their 1st gen mini Ipod? What voltage and mAh readings should I get for the battery I buy?
-Phillip

Anyone correct me if i'm wrong here but AFAIK:
Ok, the main thing to look for is the 3.7v rating. the mAh refers to milli-Amp hours, i.e. the amount of charge the battery can hold, not the current it outputs.
As long as it's 3.7v, it's cool. And the bigger the mAh, the better.
Good luck in your replacement.

Suggestions for New Battery for 13-inch MacBook

I have been having trouble with my battery for a long time now. Often the computer fails to recognize the battery at all and will turn off when unplugged from the adapter (which is also acting screwy, but that's a different story).
I having been using the original battery that came with the machine, which I bought in September 2006.
Despite the trouble I am having with the computer failing to recognize the battery, I concede that its probably time for a new one.
So my question is twofold:
1. What battery manufacturer/maker do you recommended? / What battery has worked well for you?
2. Once I get the new battery, that should fix the problem I'm having with battery recognition, right?
Please find my current power settings/information below. Also, my computer is randomly recognizing my battery after weeks of not, the settings reflect this change.
Thanks!

Request for new battery specs

Can someone tell me what are the specs for a fully charged new battery for a 2008 MB (aluminum)?
i.e. full charge capacity, voltage, amperage, etc.
My current battery shows 3276 charge capacity, 12419 volts, 0 amperage, 551 cycles.
It used to say "replace soon", now it says condition "normal".
Did the battery calibration thingy, and MB shuts down sooner around 17% these daze.
Time to replace?
Thanks for all replies.

Full capacity originally was around 4200. At 550+ cycles, your battery has had a long and productive life. Consider a new one.

13" MBP 2010 "Replace Now" battery condition, 1050 cycles, Will i have to pay for new battery?

I have a spring 2010 13' macbook pro. The problem with my macbook is that when i unplug the chager, after it says its fully charged, it automatically turns off. My batteries condition says to "Replace Now". I checked the battery cycle and its at 1050. i understand that my battery is supposed to last for 1000 cycles. Well my question is will i have to pay $129 for a new battery even though I still have a year left on my applecare?

Thanks Clinton (Birmingham, England?). I've actually only had this computer's battery on reserve twice since I bought it, but it generally runs down to 30 to 60% a couple of times a day, then I have plugged it in to top it off. I try to top it off before 30% because on this forum I've seen a couple of times that charging it from 50% twice, is much easier on the battery than charging it once from fully depleted.
So I guess if you charge it from say 70% to capacity three times this counts as one cycle?
Anyway, I'm not going to get obsessed about this. This is my third new or almost new MBP from my company, and I've never had the same one more than two years. I have had to replace batteries, but that is on old ones that have been handed down to my children.

IPod 5th Gen going for new battery: backup tips/tricks/warnings?

Hello everyone:
I have had my iPod 5th generation for 3 years or more; over the past 9 months or so the battery has been struggling to hold a charge. It has gotten to a point where even using all the tips for extending the battery life, I can only play about 5 to 8 songs before it dies completely and needs a recharge. It will usually show as being completely charged after 10-15 minutes (using a wall charger or a USB port makes no difference); if I use it at that point or leave it on the charger for 24 hours, it makes no difference.
I've been saving for and planning on getting an iPhone, but it has not happened yet, so tonight I bit the bullet and made plans to send my little buddy in to have the battery replaced. I understand that, when I get the device back, I will need to re-load all of my music onto it.
I have my iPod synched to my laptop, with all of my music from home saved to the hard drive there. I have also turned on home sharing, so I can share with my home desktop. (Both machines run Windows 7.) I am looking for advice/suggestions/warnings/tips to make sure I have everything saved and backed up properly, so that I can plug the device in and re-synch it when I get it back without losing anything. Any thoughts are welcome, be it in the form of a note here or a link to something I should read before I get the little sucker bubble-wrapped and shipped out!
Thanks in advance for any help,
Emmie

See if y missed anything hee:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does apple provide professional Installation for new hardware?

I want to know if i can bring my Imac 21.5 mid 2014 for new hard drive installation to an apple store. Is there a service for that? I know they have a repair service, does it provide for that as well? I do have applecare coverage, I'm not sure if that counts for anything other than if my imac gets damaged.

AppleCare provides warranty service. If there is a problem because of manufacturing defect, that will be repaired.
You can contact Apple. AppleCare: 1-800-275-2273
Best.

Any hope for my battery?

Hi
My 15" MBP's battery charge time has been reducing gradually over the last few months. iStat Pro gives my 15" battery a 'Health' of 47% (195 cycles) - and in Energy Saver in System Preferences, there's a yellow warning triangle and it says "Service Battery"
Before I go out and buy a new battery, I just thought I'd check a few things.
• Can the battery be serviced? Or should I trash it and replace?
• Don't suppose it's replaceable under AppleCare?
• What should I be doing to optimise battery life in the future? I've not been calibrating, so that's one thing I can start doing. Anything else?
Thanks
Marcus

You don't mention what model MBP you nor when you bought it. The battery cannot be serviced. You need a new battery. Check with AppleCare to see if they will replace it under warranty considering the low number of cycles. For new battery follow Apple's guide lines for proper operation and maintenance.

New battery in Macbook Pro - louder fan.

Hardware Overview:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro 8.1 (2011)
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
I had a dead battery in my MacBook Pro replaced two days ago and since using my Mac with the replacement, whether on charge or not, the fans are a lot louder when watching videos or playing games than with the old battery/when the battery was dead.
Is it due to the new battery, the installation or do I need to reset something that I've missed? Thanks.

Have you tried reset the System Management Controller (SMC)?

Buy new battery for MacBook Pro Mid 2010, and in-store installation?

I need to buy a new battery for my MacBook Pro Mid 2010. I was wondering if there was an Apple store where I can buy a new one and have it installed there. i tried Best Buy and they weren't really any help and suggested to go to an Apple store. However, I don't know if I could have them install right there.

its best to make an appointment at your local Apple store. If they are busy and you walk in without an appointment, they will turn you away.
