  • MacBook Pro shutting off with battery charged

    I have a MacBook Pro I purchased about 22 months ago. About seven days ago, I started noticing the computer just shutting off without warning, even with a charge of 20% or more. Using Coconutbattery my batter still has 62% of it's original capacity with 367 load-cycles. Battery life isn't great, so I was considering buying a new battery, I'd just like to know if other's experience this, and would a new battery solve the problem.
    There are no other problems with the machine.

  • My MacBook Pro shuts down after battery charge runs out.

    The laptop does not go to sleep and the  clock resets to December 31, 1980.

    Time for a new battery. 
    Does zapping the PRAM correct the problem? 
    Since you using SL, I am assuming your model MBP can be calibrated.  When was the last time you calibrated the battery? 

  • I dropped my Macbook Pro and now the battery is swollen, should I bring it to the genius bar?

    My Macbook Pro fell off my bed (approx. 3ft) and dented the left side of the front left corner on the battery meter. Besides the damage everything seemed okay for a little while until I kept getting a erratic curser track pad. I kept cleaning it thinking some dirty or oil may of got on it or in the edges, but long story short I found out my battery is swollen and thats the reason for the erratic curser. The drop and dent impacted the battery causing it to swell. I feel that I just need a new battery. I purchased my macbook from the apple store and still have applecare. However I've researched online a bit and saw some people posted that if you drop your macbook, Apple will void my coverage. I also read that when people have had a swollen battery and applecare, they just brought it into the Genius bar and they went to the back and brought them a new battery. I've been super nervous to go see them as I've spent the extra bucks on Applecare and did not get any use of it. If anyone has had this issue or knows about it, please let me know!!

    Yes !
    I would take it in before it gets worse and breaks something.

  • HT3053 Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?

    Can I run my MacBook Pro Late 2008 without battery forever? Is it bad in long term or anything? Does it make the system less stable?
    My battery got swollen (and I unfortunately noticed it very late and might have be running with it for months, which potentially explains all the crashes everyday and the trackpad not working anymore, the Apple test also says I have a bar of ram broken...) and I had to remove it because the back pannel did not close anymore... Can I still use my MBP normally forever that way? I was planning on buying a new mac anyway but maybe waiting for the next iMac upgrade in the year... Should I wait?

    Other than the system shutting down instantly if you have a power outage, whcih could corrupt the OS. Nothing else bad will happen.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • Can the Macbook Pro non Retina and Macbook Pro Retina have their battery replaced?

    Can the Macbook Pro non Retina and Macbook Pro Retina have their battery replaced?

    Yes. You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it replaced.

  • Battery in 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge faster.

    The battery in my 2-month old MacBook Pro seems to be losing charge more quickly.  Also does not charge to 100% as it used to when new.

    Hi A,
    You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple.

  • What i gonna do to my macbook pro its easy low battery.

    what i gonna do to my macbook pro its easy low battery.

    not sure what you mean by easily low - as Courcoul has stated - replace it if you're having problems with it.
    or, keep it plugged in.
    what applications are you running that makes your battery drain fast?  if you're playing games or watching videos - you're lucky to get 3 hours of battery life.

  • My macbook pro won't hold a charge for more than a day...do I need a new battery?

    my macbook pro won't hold a charge for more than a day...do I need a new battery?  I have a 13" early 2011 model.

    A: did you leave most of the time or always plugged in?
    B: did you often drain the battery very low?
    If so, then thats the issue
    From Apple on batteries:

    Storing your MacBook
    If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
    Considerations:
    Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
    In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
    Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
    Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance.  Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery. 
    Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
    Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
    Peace

  • NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

    If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

    Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
    I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

    Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging

    My 15" i5 MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging; a reboot of the machine solves the problem temporarily, but it always recurs.  When I close the lid and listen carefully, I can hear hard drive activity; the drive sounds like it keeps spinning up every 10 seconds or so.
    This is not an issue when trying to sleep when running on the battery only. Any advice?

    I don't have launch2net installed.
    I'm not sure how this will help, but here's the last 5 lines from Console:

  • My Macbook Pro will not hold a charge

    If I charge my Macbook Pro 13" to a full charge, then unplug it, the battery will drain over the next 2 days. 
    Specifically, if the laptop is "closed" and just sitting on my desk, the little white led light flashes slowly and the laptop loses its charge in about 2 days.  Is this standard?  It's quite annoying.... 
    Should I take this back to Apple and have it serviced/looked at?
    Thanks,
    Lance
