How to replace your battery

How do you do that a easy way?

He's posting in the fifth-generation iPod forums, so he's most likely covered under the iPod's warranty. This is why I asked about his battery life. It may be replaceable under the warranty.
I would not recommend opening an ipod that's still under warranty.

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month

HT3371 how to replace internal battery in Macbook Pro 17"

My 17" went dead while sitting in a warehouse waiting for a residence. Grrr.

You can only replace the battery yourself on a 2008 or older MacBook Pro. If you do it in a newer computer, you will void the warranty.
If you have a 2008 or older computer, buy the battery at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA348LL/A/rechargeable-battery-15-inch-macbook -pro?fnode=5a Then, install it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3053

All drivers were available so I done it. Windows 7 worked perfect to yesterday.

Before this problem I could works 1 hour and 45 min. Now it is 15-30 min.

Is there any idea to repair it?

How to replace iphone battery

How to replace iphone Battery?

This can only be done by Apple or a certified repair shop - in fact Apple would probably simply replace the phone (at a cost) as they do with iPods. It's a big weakness, but it's the cost of the snazzy slim design. I think they must be gambling on most people upgrading their phones every year or eighteen months.
Having said that this site provides information on doing it yourself for an iPhone 4 - I don't know whether there similar sites for the latest models - but I am not recommending that you do this: you would find it tricky at least, you might well damage something, and you will get no help from Apple if you do.

"Consider replacing your battery" - Satellite Pro C650

Hi,
I recently sent an email to [email protected] to try and sort out a possible battery / battery reading problem on my Toshiba Satellite C650 that I have owned for under a year (is therefore covered under warranty).
Yesterday, I received a follow up call from the Toshiba computer technical support number and was asked to conduct a few tests to see whether they would resolve the problem:
1) Check whether the BIOS version was up to date, which it was (_BIOS version 2.00_) as confirmed by clicking F2 on start up.
2) Uninstall the old version of the program "Toshiba Value Added Package" then go to the mytoshiba.com.au site, enter the laptop model/part number and _download the latest Value Added Package_, followed by a reboot.
I was provided with a reference number to call back with in case these tests didn't fix the problem, however, I do not have a fixed phone where I am and rely on calling with a mobile phone (which is quite costly, especially when being put on hold). I was hoping to receive some sort of help on these forums.
*As the tests did not fix the problem I was encountering, where do I go from here?*
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Here are some of the finer details regarding the problem: {pasted from an email I sent to customer relations}
"From what I can tell, the AC adaptor (charger) works fine since it is able to charge the lithium-ion battery that the laptop came with and the orange light at the front of the laptop indicates that the adaptor is plugged in and is charging). However, recently whenever I unplugged the AC adaptor, I received a notice when I clicked on the battery meter icon on the desktop. It says: "Consider replacing your battery. There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly." There is also a red cross that appears over the battery icon. Despite what the notification says, it appears that the problem may be more complex than that.
Today, I noticed that despite the AC adaptor not being plugged in and the battery meter reading "0%", the laptop did not shut down or hibernate - it remained working. Other times, the battery meter will warn me that there is little charge left and shuts down (sometimes only after 15 minutes). Before I received the notification of "Consider replacing your battery", the laptop battery would last at least 1½ hours without having the AC plugged in. I have also had this laptop less than a year and taken good care of the battery, allowing it to discharge every so often then recharging it after. It makes little sense that the battery now lasts 15 minutes or less.
Since the battery meter was apparently at 0% and did not shut down this evening, I suspect that the problem may have something to do with the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery or at least the device that reads the battery charge. From my observations, it seems to be misjudging the % of charge and therefore sometimes shuts down prematurely, even though there is more charge remaining than estimated.
I have been following some of the Toshiba support forums (online) and other computer help forums and this ‘battery/battery reading' issue seems to be something a number of other laptop users have/are experiencing, especially when a user installs a Windows 7 operating system on a laptop that was bought with a preinstalled Windows XP operating system. I would like to emphasise that this laptop came with a preinstalled Windows 7 operating system and I have not changed operating systems at any time.
I have also read that users with this problem, in some cases attempted to fix the notification of "Consider replacing your battery" by following the notifications advice and buying a new battery fitted to their exact laptop model but apparently it did not resolve."

>I have also read that users with this problem, in some cases attempted to fix the notification of "Consider replacing your battery" by following the notifications advice and buying a new battery fitted to their exact laptop model but apparently it did not resolve."
Well, in my opinion you should definitely try a new battery.
If all the updates (BIOS, VAP, etc) didnt help then a new battery should be tested. Of course it would be better to test this before purchasing a new battery so maybe you have to get in contact with an ASP in your country and have to clear this in direct contact with agent.
You said that the warranty is valid therefore the notebook should be fixed free of charge. But you should consider that battery is covered by warranty one year long.

At what rate or how quickly should your battery die

My battery is not lasting very long after charging it. How long should it take for your battery to die when only using safari, a word processor, and possibly a powerpoint program. i am currently operating on 10.8.3 if that helps. please help so I know if I have to take a little trip to the apple store. This is only one of the problems I have been having lately.
It also completly reset itself the other day (programs I deleted months ago were popping up), freezes, can not stay connected to internet, I have to restart my computer every 1/2hr to and hr sometimes.

If an SMC reset does not solve the problem,

How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
(ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

Hi Adrian
CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

Toshiba Satellite L675 - Consider Replacing Your Battery

Good morning all. I was hoping to get some direction here. I just got a prompt yesterday via Windows that my computer (purchased five years ago) is fully charged (100%), but that I should consider replacing my battery. It also says "There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly." I did notice the last few days that it had been draining too quickly. What is the worst thing that can happen when this problem arises? I don't travel with it, so as long as I keep it plugged in, is this an issue that (really) needs immediate attention? I just got laid off, so I'm trying to triage my expenses here. If the computer will be fine as long as it is plugged in, I'd rather deal with incurring this expense later. However, if a battery problem might impact the functionality of the rest of the computer, I'll look into getting a new battery. Any input/advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Kim

You can ease your mind. As long as you keep it plugged In, there will be no harm to your computer. If you were to use your computer on battery and it drained to the point that the computer turned itself off, there COULD be a problem.

Consider replacing your battery - Satellite C650/C650D

Hi,
I have made my laptop for quite a few years now and never had any problems of major severity. I'ce now had a warning saying that I should consider replacing the battery. I have asked for advice and basically I've been told to buy a new one.
The model number of the battery is PA3817U-1BRS. I am trying to find an exact replacement of this online but I am struggling. I am based in the UK and the prices people charge are very high....too high! Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement battery please.
Or provide some general information on what I should do. I need to get this resolved as I work from home on my laptop so cannot afford to mess around for too long.
Many thanks.

Does the battery still charge? If so, how long does a full charge last? I have had several of these batteries(C655/C655D's) give this message, but some of them still seem fine. I have one battery that will last 2 hours on a charge, but says that I should consider replacing it. Personally, as long as it still lasts that long, I just keep it.
With that said, I have a few others that last less than 30 minutes on a charge, so they get recycled. As for a part number, the US models use PA3817U-1BRS which is 10.8V, 48Wh.

Hi Paolotia,
Replacing the RTC battery in your notebook does involve rather extensive disassembly. You will have to disassemble it down to the system board.
