I have an i4 and the battery is not holding a charge very long. Can the battery be replaced?

Will an Apple store be able to replace my battery or will I have to send it out?

Thanks.  I may have it under Apple Care. Do u know how it works with that?

    At least once a month you should run it on battery power to exercise the battery.  Cycle it to about 40% left then recharge.  Do not cycle it to a near zero charge.

  • I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

    I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

    Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149.  It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

  • My macbook pro battery is not holding a charge...what do I do?

    So, suddenly, literally the last two days, my Macbook will not hold a charge.  Within about an hour or two of use, the battery drops 30%.  Previously, I could use it for several days before the charge dropped; it would take a week to go from 100% to critical and it was on all the time.  The computer is about a year and a half old (so to speak).  The closest Apple Store is almost 300 miles away.
    Is there something I can do?  Install/uninstall items?
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Install the free Battery Health utility available on the App Store. It will tell you how much battery capacity you have left, compared to the official charge capacity when new, plus will let you monitor in-use battery drain, that will let you learn and use power management techniques to maximize runtime.
    For instance, mine shows up after 32 cycles and 7.5 months of life as having 102% of max official capacity (6990 of 6900 mAh), which translates for me to around 6 hours of usage on the average, but which I can stretch out to 7 or 7.5 in a pinch. Guess I got lucky with it, cause when brand new it arrived with a 7160 mAh capacity Yours being a 13" model will show up with a smaller battery capacity.

  • Battery will not hold a charge

    My ipad 3 will not hold a charge on the battery, it has been pluged into the wall, using the provided wall charger, since noon. Now, it is 5pm and the battery is only around 40%. The iPad is still under the 1 year warrenty. Will apple replace the battery if the digitizer screen is broken? (it has a slight crack) Or is my warrenty void?

    You will need to take the iPad to Apple, the screen and battery are two different problems,but they could be related.  Apple will need to make that determination.  It will be very difficult to replace your battery without breaking the digitizer if it has a small crack.  

  • My ipod 5th gen battery is not holding a charge,

    my ipod 5th gen is not holding a charge like it should so i tryed to get it repaired under warranty, but the site said they couldnt create repaire because of repair buisness mapping?

    I'm not sure what site you used or what the error was, but if you can't set up service via Apple's web site, call them:

  • Battery life seems short or the battery does not hold a charge, seems to drain quickly or does not last as long as expected.

    Solved!

    IMPORTANT Notes while charging your Reader device:
    It is recommended to charge the Reader using the supplied AC Adapter. When using the AC adapter to charge your Reader device, the lightning bolt symbol that appears next to the battery icon [FIG. 1] on the display of your Reader device is an indication that it is connected to AC power and is charging the battery properly. If the lightning bolt symbol is not present, double check the AC Adapter to ensure that your Reader device is properly connected. This symbol does not appear while charging via a USB connection.
    If you charge via a USB connection and leave your Reader Digital Book connected to the computer to charge and the computer goes into sleep/hibernation, charging will stop and the red charge indicator on the Reader will turn off. If left connected, your battery may begin to discharge. To avoid this, turn off any sleep/hibernation settings while charging or set your sleep or hibernation settings to come on after your Reader Digital Book has been charged and then disconnect it from the computer once charging has completed.
    It will take approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge with a computer. It will take approximately 2 hours to achieve a full charge with the optional AC Adapter.
    If your Reader Digital Book is left connected to a powered USB hub while the computer is shut down, your battery may begin to discharge. Disconnect your Reader from the hub when the computer is not powered on.
    Always verify that your Reader is fully charged by disconnecting it from the computer and checking the battery indicator. The battery indicator will display 4 black bars when it is fully charged
    On a full charge, the battery has the capability of up to 7,500 continuous page turns. Actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns, settings and battery conditions. When the Reader is turned on, off, or a page is marked, battery power is used, thus lowering the expected battery life.
    NOTE: When storing the Reader for a long period of time, use the Device Shutdown feature in the Advanced settings menu. After using Device Shutdown, it may take approximately 30 seconds for the Reader to start the next time the Reader is turned on.
    Playing audio will reduce the battery life. If you did not start audio play back intentionally, confirm audio is not playing. You will not hear playback unless headphones are connected. Audio playback will continue until it is stopped by turning it off from the Now Playing menu. To see if audio is playing, press the HOME button and then press the OPTION button. If Now Playing is displayed in the dialogue box that appears, tap Now Playing and this will take you to the song that is playing. Press the Pause button to stop playback of that song and then press the HOME button.
    NOTES:
    Due to the nature of the E Ink electronic display technology, the LCD can retain an image without having power. Turning the page is the only time power is consumed. If the Reader's power is drained, the LCD will retain the last image that was displayed, thus making it appear like the Reader is frozen and in some instances it will not have enough power to perform other operations such as turning on or off.
    Battery life can be affected by operating temperatures below 41 degrees F, lack of use, or if the battery has not been given enough time to fully charge.
    As with any battery, if the Reader is stored for an extended period of time, the battery will discharge on it's own. Therefore, it may be necessary to charge the battery prior to use.
    If the Reader has not been used for an extended period of time, repeatedly charging and discharging will improve the efficiency of the battery.
    If the battery life still seems short, the battery may need to be replaced.

  • HT201401 battery is not holding a charge i can see it going down with phone off and sitting on my desk, no apps are opened.

    My battery charge is not lasting.  No apps are being used or opened.  The phone is losing power without using it.  It is sitting on my desk not being used and is now reading 58%.  Fully charged at 100% this morning (8:00).  Help!!!!!!

    1. Plug phone into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes
    2. If not on, reset phone: press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    If no reponse to above, there is hardware damage and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • Palm Pre Plus Battery WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE throughout the day!!!!!!

    I have been a Palm user for many years and just traded in my Treo for the Pre Plus, what a dissapointment. I am continually looking for a place to charge the phone so I can use it when needed.  This is very frustrating.  Took it back to Verizon but they were not helpful, they just offered to sell me a car charger at 50% off and let me know that this has been on ongoing porblem with the PRE. I have dimmed the backlight and turned off automatic updates for most applications. Any other suggestions before I trade it in for the DROID.

    Battery life on any of the current crop of smartphones will be pretty disappointing especially if you really use the heck out of them.  There are some things I can tell you about the Pre, though:
    When you first start using it, especially if you add a good number of email, calendar, facebook, etc accounts, it chews through the battery really quickly as its constantly pulling data to populate those accounts on the phone.
    Add to this that the radio requires more power the lower the signal wherever you are.  You can thank CDMA for that, and the best you can do is try to stay in a strong signal area the first day or two, especially if you're seeing a lot of data use.
    The GPS is on by default (or at least it was initially, not sure on the VZ plus devices).  TURN THIS OFF (GO to location services app and from the menu make sure its checked off) if you don't use it.
    Finally, I don't know the chemistry here, but the first few charges on the battery seem to "condition" it, and you'll see life improve as the first few days and charge cycles are behind you.
    Palm has some general tips for maximizing your battery use, too.  Find them here:

    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.
