Do I need to buy a new battery?

My Macbook (OS X Version 10.5.8) battery won't charge. In the system profile application, the "condition" under Power>Health Information says "Check Battery" (see picture below). Do I need to buy a new battery or is there something else I can do to fix it?

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

HT1519 Do I need to buy a new battery ASAP if the cycle count is way over limit?

My macbook OS X 10.6.8 (late 2007) is listed as having a maximum battery cycle of 300; my system reports 415 cycles and I have never calibrated. Do I need to buy a new battery ASAP? Would calibrating help?

A solid state drive or 'SSD' is a flash based storage drive used in newer Macs and PCs that give a significant speed increase as well as reduced power consumption due to not having any moving parts like a hard disc drive or 'HDD' s which work on spinning magnetic platters driven by a motor.
They are backwards compatible as they come in the same sizes as previous HDDs (physical size) and connect to the same Sata interface, so are simply a swappable item. Smaller SSD storage sizes are not too badly priced these days, however the larger drives are still fairly expensive.

I needed to buy a new battery for my Apple Remote

I thought that it might be helpful for other users to know that if their brand new Apple Remote is not working, it may be because the CR2032 battery is old. In my case, I had to think why was my new Apple Remote not working:
1) the battery was old
2) the Remote was broken
3) the computer sensor was broken
I am glad that after spending $4.49 cents at the local Ace that as soon as I hit menu, the Apple Remote screen came up on my Mac.

My laptop battery life is horrible. Ive researched a bit and it seems like everyone with the same laptop as me is having the exact same sort of problem. I got the laptop in the fall of 2010. Im looking on the hpshopping.ca site and im not finding any other replacement parts for this laptop. And i am young and i do not have a job yet so i am unable to buy a brand new laptop. So does anybody else know where i could buy a new replacement battery for my laptop? Thanks!

Hi:
According to the service manual for your notebook at the link below you have the choice of 2 batteries.
Please see chapter 3, page 3-8, item 16. Part # 593554-001 would give you more time between charges.

You can order either one at the link below.

Hi DanielGlez, welcome to the HP Forums. No need to apologize, your english is way better than my portuguese. The only option I can think of to get a replacement battery, is getting the HP Part number for the battery and seeing if HP PartSurfer ships to your area.
Page 34 shows 2 battery part numbers: HP Pavilion g6 Maintenance and Service Guide
6-cell, 55-Whr, 2.55-Ah Li-ion battery 593554-001

I live in Ireland. How can I buy a new battery for my N500?

I need to buy a new battery for my Lenovo 3000 N500. However, in the Ireland section of the Lenovo web site NONE of the dealers have this part in stock. It is in stock on the US and UK sections of the web site, but apparently only people in those countries can buy it on line. I would be prepared to buy it online from the US or the UK and pay the shipping charges to Ireland. In more than 13 years on the web, Lenovo is the first company I've encountered where I haven't been able to use my credit card to purchase an item from the US or the UK. I do this all the time with companies like Land's End, Amazon, James Meade etc etc.
Fine, if I'm not allowed buy from the US and the UK. But at least,then, make sure I have some other way of buying the part - either on line or from a store.

According to Apple:
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and iPod classic), and $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

How can I buy A new battery for my Iphone 5?

Hello I need help, My iphone 5 it is giving problem with the battery, I just can try to turn on connnecting the iphone to the electricity but It is impossible, it tries to turn on the apple appear but then it just disappear again, and over again repeat the same but never turn on again, what can I do. A friend checked and put another battery and it works good, so maybe i need to buy a new battery but I am trying on apple website but I cant, I need help please, by the way I am from Panama.

thanks for your anwer... No way! my Iphone is out of warranty, a month ago my iphone felt in to the water, I did everythhing to bring back to life and it was working ok,until a few days when the phone start turn off suddenly, Well do you know a safe place where I can buy a new genuine battery online? because I live in Panama and it will cost me too much money here.

I have 1 GB RAM on an '07 MacBook Pro. 1) How do I check remaining memory? 2) I have Microsoft office 2004 - do I need to buy more RAM to upgrade to '11? 3) I need a new battery ... Is it worth the $$ to buy a new battery, RAM and Microsoft office 2011?

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.

1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it.

My MacBook Pro laptop says 'service battery' and doesn't charge very well but my Mac is 5 years old. Is it worth buying a new battery or do you think I should buy a new mac?

Hi guys,
I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge. I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys.

Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can? Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery. Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare? If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter. You are the one to make the final decision.
Ciao.

I LEFT MY IPOD5G TOUCH without charging for days and now when iput it to charge it doesnt what should i do buy a new battery or is it dead ? where can i buy a new batttery

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and maybe:
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If the batteries exploded inside my wireless mouse, do i need to buy a new mouse? any thoughts about saving my mouse? thank you! nancy

if the batteries exploded inside my wireless mouse, do i need to buy a new mouse? any thoughts about saving my mouse? thank you! nancy

The chemicals or materials from inside the batteries can cause circuit
damage in the mouse, the mouse may need to be replaced. You may
have to check with the battery manufacturers customer relations to see
if they offer guarantees covering products damaged those batteries...
And those chemicals may remain as a health concern since the mouse
cannot be subjected to washing, since there are electrical parts inside.
How old is the mouse, and how old are the batteries?
Some products have a limited warranty or guaranty.
In some locations, that may be longer than in others.
Were the batteries rechargeable or disposable?
I'd consult an Apple Store and genius bar about the mouse and issues
or concerns about the cause (or blame?) of the leaking batteries, or
which way to go in that matter. I cannot suggest what else to do; we're
not Apple representatives, but in a retail Apple Store they have options.
Good luck & happy computing!

You can get extra Zen Micro batteries on our online store:

That is the correct phone number, but it is based in Ireland so you need to dial the international dialling code, so 00353 4333200
Alternati'vely you can e-mail Support through the Customer Support page.

I don't understandwhy i need to buy a new charger cable for my iphone 5 every week. why can't you make a normal cable, that doesn't stop working? i csn't spend so much money on buying new cablesall the time.

these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.

I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
Best of luck.
