How long should I have on battery life?be 2-

I have been word processing for less than one hour. My battery is at 58%. Is this normal?
I had the computer in the store because Apple had sent me faulty RAM when they installed it, then said they replaced it and didn't, and then finally they did. And they were going to check out the battery. They said I was in normal range.
But shouldn't I get more than 1 hour, isn't it supposed to 2 or 3? I got this computer brand new in March.

OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli

Ok under healthyou see my cycle count is 17. Your very low cycle countreflects that you are not “conditioning” your battery by runningit on battery till 5 minute warning or going to sleep and then fullyrecharging it! You've had it ~18 mo. And your dooming yourbattery to a short life. Condition your battery for a long life.
Please notethis is a super battery 2.131 Amps @ 12.534Volts which Apple says will last approximately 7 hours. Real world experience is significantly less with Lion OS installed.

HT3053 How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery. It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
Good luck and enjoy your macbook

HT4623 how long should a fully charged battery last ?

Hi,how long should my iphone last after I have fully charged it?

Depends on how you use it... 2-3 days for light users, 8-12 hours for heavy users.

For how long should my MBP 13" battery last, in normal usage?

I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro 13" on 11.Oct.2011, and there is a concern about the battery life of my MBP, I can only use it for approximately 4-hours. My question is "Is it common or there is a problem with this?" Because, Apple.com advertise at least 7-hours of surfing wireless.

How long should I have to wait before I get a spee...

I have had weeks of problems with slow broadband issues due to a line fault which only shows when it is wet.
They have appeared to fix the problem on Friday at long last as I did not lose my line when it rained today but my speed has remained between 0.00 and 0.13.
I have been told they have reset my profile which normally increases my speed in minutes but not this time.
I am told by one bt broadband support person I could have to wait 10 days, anothe person says 48 hours.
I cannot understand why the speed does not increase a bit, my normal speed is between 1.5 and 2mb
My latest figures from BT wholesale speed test is as follows:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 0.13 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.05 Mbps-0.25 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1.98 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 0.14 Mbps
Sppeds of just 0.13 is almost unsable, sometimes I cannot even get a page to display.

you currently have a connection speed of 1.98mb but due yo previous problems your profile is at rock bottom of 0.14mb. this should normally fix itself automatically given a stable connection 24/7 for 3/5 days. can you post router stats to show if connection time 3+ days

How long should a new replacement battery last on a Macbook 13 inch 2008?

It's in the the title I guess. I have a 13 inch Black MacBook from 2008. My Battery was still giving me nearly two hours and the cycles was well into the 900s. I'm OCD about taking care of it. So what should I expect out of this new battery? The same performance? When I first got this Macbook it could nearly get me through a whole 7 hour school day on one charge. I don't need that anymore but I would appreciate some where close for the money I paid for the new battery.

The new battery should behave very much like an original battery...that said, every battery behaves a little differently so be flexible in what you see. If it lasts much less time, then have it tested. But overall, should be reasonably close to the same behavior.

How long should my macbook pro battery charge last before needing to be recharged

My macbook pro goes from 100% fully charged to zero in one day of light use. Is that normal? It seems to hold a charge for less time now than in the past. Do I need a new battery? Thanks, Gina

Watching video depletes the battery faster than typing a letter. My MBP battery will go down from 100% to about 65% (sometimes down to 50%) in about 3 - 4 hours if I do nothing but browse this site and possibly watch a short video. It also depends on the screen brightness settings and a host of other things. If you only use it for 2 hours, then there is a problem and I'd take it to your nearest Genius Bar for a diagnosis.

How long SHOULD battery last?

I've read 100's of posts on this and have yet to get an answer--how long should I expect my battery to last when my ipod is on, with screen on (auto lock on NEVER), doing nothing, no apps open (actually I removed all apps for this test), wifi OFF, location OFF, everything possible OFF, so just the screen on. This is ipod touch 8gb "3rd" gen, has os 4.2 but problem was same before with os 3.1. I get about 8 hours before battery dies. Is this normal? Warranty is just about up and I need to decide whether to pursue this with Apple. Thanks!

Not as long as if you let the screen turn off. As lllaass mentioned, the screen uses a lot of power and as far as I know, when Apple test an iPod's battery time, it's on the assumption that you do not leave the screen on. Their figures would be based on that and it's largely the reason why watching a video has less battery time that listening to audio.
So if you're not watching video, the battery will last a lot longer if you set the auto lock to - say 1 minute. More to the point, if you're not looking at the screen, why leave it turned on?
My own choice is for the auto lock to kick in after 1 minute. That way, - if I'm browsing the music section, or reading a web page or browsing my Apps, my constant navigation around the Touch keeps the screen on. If I stop doing that and simply listen to music, after 1 minute the sreen turns off and battery time is extended.
You say that you have yet to get an answer to how long the battery should last. If you check the technical specifications for the latest iPod Touch, http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html you'll see that playback time for video is 7 hours and playback time for audio is 40 hours from full charge. So if you have auto lock on never, I suggest that 8 hours is probably reasonable since it's the virtually same as watching video.

How long should it take to get my old number back ...

I moved house 4 working days ago. New house is on same exchange as old, sa asked to keep my old number.
The order is apparently in two parts:
1) Cease line at old address - done on day "1"
2) Connect new line at new address - engineers "cancelled" on Day 1. No reasons given on the order and I wasn't contacted to tell me all had gone to a ball of chalk..... I'd have been none the wiser had I not bothered to check.
Over the weekend I spoke with various people, leading to a new order for a new line, to be installed on day "4" (today). It wasn't possible to pull my old number out of the allocatable pool (presumably (good!) it was still allocated to the cancelled order?) The engineers were "asked" in a note on the order to move my old number back onto the line.
This line is now up and running on a temporary number.
As my O2 broadband reconnection is waiting till I have a line with a stable number on it and I am keen to get it back asap, how long should I have to wait? Is there anything that could happen that will sabotage getting my number back and what should I do to prevent this?
Jon

I am with you on this and am very interested also as to the answer.
I was originally with BT, then moved to Sky as I wanted Sky TV, and thought it best to get the complete package. They never once mentioned, "oh by the way if you move home you lose your number". I think they should highlight this, and then watch there customer base drop.
Anyways, that aside. I have decided to come back to BT, and BT have created a new number at my new address, and when the line is activated I have to call to get a renumber and hope that the number I want hasn't been taken.
i presume by law Sky have to put the number back into the pool, and therefore should be able to get BT to get it back. Fingers crossed.
What reasons could there be that they cant get the number back.

VACUUM/Consistency Check - How long should it take?

Upon opening Aperture (2.1.4) I got a dialogue saying I should perform a consistency check. I started the consistency check "Running VACUUM on database" 12 hours ago. The progress bar is only three quarters finished. It hasn't changed in 3 hours. I'm mindful of posts saying not to interrupt this process. How long should I have to wait?

I tried to VACUUM my library twice. Each time aperture froze my entire machine.
I couldn't force quit anything, switching apps only froze the app I went to. the power button didn't trigger the dialog so I was forced to force the computer off. Holding the power switch for 5 or so seconds. Now the machine will not pass the boot screen, spinning below the apple. I re-installed snow leopard and tried again, thinking it was something else.
It seems that this is a bug with aperture and should be looked into by apple.
I was running 10.6.2 now I have to re-install again. I dont know any other option.
I tried tech tool pro and diskwarrior rebuilding the directory, no difference.
I think I will just have to make a new library and take the orignal files and re-import them all back into aperture.

How long should I charge the New iPad battery ??

Hi,
Can someone tell me :
How long should I charge the New iPad battery ??
i dont know, and i cant find this on the apple page.
i know that with the iPod Touch Five and Four Generation, the charge its only 2-4 hours but on the iPad how long is the charge?
im really miss it!
Can someone help me ?
Thanks!!

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

HELP-How Long Should a Battery Charge Last?

I just had a brand new battery installed in my 2009 MacBook Pro at the Genius Bar. I'm not sure it's holding a charge as long as it should as a new battery. The OS is Mavericks.
How long should a new battery hold a charge?
Thanks

There is no Set Time any battery will last, Run time of the computer. It is Subjective on what you are doing on the computer minute by minute.
The battery should hold a charge for Months if it isn't used. But I take it that isn't your real question.
All batteries only last so long, whether they are ever used or not and how much or how little they are used. They also have a shelf life. So even though you bought a NEW battery doesn't mean that battery hasn't been sitting on a shelf for the last 4 years and in that time it has used up its Shelf Life.
If Apple replaced it you have a 90 day warranty on it. If you find it doesn't work as it did before take it back in and ask to have it checked.

How long should my nc8430 laptop run with a new 14.4 volt 4400mah battery

Hi I have replaced my laptop battery with a new 14.4 volt 4400mha . with a full charge and power settings at minimal how long should it run I am getting just under 2hours is this normal with intel centrino my previous battery was getting more than three hours.
thanks

I run a 7440 mha battery on an nc4400 and on high performance with no power savings, I get about 2 hours out of it.
So, I would say for yours, that's about right.
Maybe your old battery had a higher capacity.
Did someone help you? Pay it forward. Help someone else.
