IPhone5 shuts off at around 30% battery.

My iPhone5 will just shut off between 25-35% battery. It's on the very latest iOS–7.1. Anyone else having this problem and have a way to solve? This is incredibly frustrating to have my phone just die when it should have an hour or more left. It should at least accurately relate battery life, e.g. 10% or something.

MB Pro shuts off at around 85% battery power.

I've been using the power adapter pretty much all the time with my MBP but now that I've been using it on battery power it has automatically shut off at around 85% battery power. I haven't always had the battery in while using the charger but for the last year I have. I'm not sure if that has any relevance.

Actually, it IS within the specification +for battery health+, which is what I stated above. Apple states, +"A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles."+ This is based on the reading for Full Charge Capacity in System Profiler. BGTD's full charge capacity is 5081 mAh, and the nominal new full charge capacity of a 15" MBP battery is 5500 mAh (rounded down, the calculated value is actually 5556 mAh). Even of the OP has a 17" MBP, the battery is still within health (though barely so - the denominator for a 17" MBP battery is 6300 mAh.
So, despite having an acceptable capacity (i.e., 'health'), the OP's MBP is shutting down with only 15% of the capacity used. As I stated, that's a symptom of a faulty battery.
Furthermore, you are also incorrect when you state, +"if your MBP is over 1 year old, Apple will NOT replace your battery."+ You can certainly state that Apple did not replace your battery free of charge, and I'm sorry for that! On the other hand, my health dropped suddenly to ~60% when my MBP was 16 months old. I +do not+ have AppleCare, and despite that, the Genius Bar replaced my battery for free. The page that I linked to (the top link) states, +"This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers."+ I also pointed out that I am aware of Apple having replaced (for free) batteries of users with Core 2 Duo MBPs under the same program.
As I stated, the best bet is for the BGTD is to visit an Apple Store or call AppleCare and request a replacement battery, based on the information above. The answer may be "no," but I'd argue that it's worth a little effort to try and save US$130, given that there are known and Apple-acknowledged issues with some notebook batteries.

If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

My wife ran the battery down in her shuffle. When I plug it in to the wall or computer, it will blink red solid for about 3 seconds and then shut off. Is the battery that dead, or is something else wrong. ITunes does not show the shuffle

My iPhone 5 running ios7 shuts off at 20-30% battery

My phone shuts off randomly when tjhe battery is about 20-30% - I plug in to charge and it will tell me I have more than the battery charge than i saw before it shut off. - I have wipped clean and reinstalled fresh operating system - 3 times - did not help - Apple gunius bar ( went twice - same issue ) would not help - said battery was healthy - and i had to figure it out cause they were not going to fix it.
what do i do now...

This is happening to me as well. Tried restoring the phone and setting it up from a backup and the issue was resolved for a few days, then the issue came back. Guess we'll make a Genius Bar appointment.

My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

No it is not common.
Most have no issues.
Have you tried basics from the manual? Restart, reset, restore?
The warranty covers defects. If the iphone is defective, then they would replace it.

My MBP randomly shuts off at around 40-45% Battery Life

Hi:
About 2 weeks ago, my computer unexpectedly shuts off when it reaches around 40-50% battery life.
I've done all the necessary calibration tests but to no avail. I've had my MBP since 2007 along with the original battery. Is this a matter of the battery dying or are there other bugs in the MBP that I should be worried about. Here are the details when it's at 45% and likely to shut down:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4328
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1726
Amperage (mA): -2442
Voltage (mV): 10350
Cycle Count: 747

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The usual rule of thumb is that a good battery should retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 300 cycles. You have 747 cycles, and are well beyond the 300 cycle benchmark. It is no wonder that it is beginning to show signs of failure. In my opinion, it is just worn out from normal usage and it's time for a new one.
Good luck!

IPhone5 shuts down at 20%-30% battery since new IOS7 was installed

Ever since I installed the new IOS 7 operating system the day it premiered, not only do I have battery issues in which it drains quickly (seems to be a common occurrence) but now if I am using the phone (app, imsg, etc) when it gets down to about 30%, sometimes 23% the phone completely shuts off as if it was at 0% battery life (I say that exact number because it's been at exactly 23% on a few occasions where the phone shut off). The icon pops up that looks like a drained battery with an indication to plug it in, and when I plug it in the phone turns itself on immediately and then works fine. I was told to reset it, hard reset it etc, all of which I tried and to no avail. I have spoken with someone from Apple and they are telling me I need a new battery. The phone is just over a year old (so of course, they won't cover the battery replacement even though the issue started about two weeks ago and it's now two weeks past it's 1 year warranty), and I highly doubt it's a coincidence that the battery is suddenly acting up after the new operating system update. Is anyone having this same issue? Helpful comments would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

Fan shutting off when going to battery.

I have a HP Pavilion ZE2113 and whenever I unplug the power cord and go to battery the fan shuts off and the laptop overheats then shuts off within 5 minutes. I have cleaned the vents and blew out the fan with compressed air. The battery meter is at 98% remaining.
Any ideas??
Thanks.
Steve

Go to power option -> more power options
Select your power plan and change advanced power settings.
Go to maximum processor state, then System cooling policy and change
to active when on battery.

Does shutting off the Touch save battery more than putting to sleep?

Hi, just found out today that I had been putting my new 2nd gen Touch in sleep
mode as opposed to shutting it off completely. Now that I have learned how to shut it off does this really increase the battery life as opposed to just having it in sleep mode? Also should I be shutting off wi-fi when I'm not using that feature to save the battery? I'm still confused about how to get the most from my battery life. Thanks

A sleeping iPod consumes almost no battery. If you'll use it again in a couple of hours, shutting it off might actually drain the battery faster since restarting puts some strain on it as well.
As for WiFi, shutting that off (as well as the Push feature) will definitely save battery.
Have a look on this page for further info: http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
Hope this helps.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

Intel 17" macbookpro shuts off at 42% on battery power....

If I plug it back in it will restart ok and run but as son as I take out powercord and run it down to 42% it shuts off again
Im hearing theres an update? Links?

There was BatteryUpdate1.2. The link to that, along with some important information on the 2 year battery warranty extension for Core Duo machines, is here:

If you have already applied the update, (click on this link to see how to check), then you should call AppleCare or visit an Apple Store for a replacement battery.
Hope this helps...

MBP shuts off without warning on battery...

In the last 3 days my 17" MacBook Pro shuts off with 17 mins left of battery. It doesn't give the running of reserve power warning it just shuts off. I bought this MBP in August 2007. I have reset the PRAM and did SMC reset. Is my battery going bad?

I recently began experiencing the same symptoms described in that thread where my battery would get to about 80% and then the unit would shut off without warning. I purchased my MBP in 07 and the battery Model No. is A1175. It shows only 87 cycles. There is a replacement program for that model battery, but my serial number wasn't included. I still have about a year on my Apple Care so I called and, while they were quite helpful, asked that I stop by an Apple store to have someone look at it to rule out any problems with the computer's energy systems.
So I stopped in last night, and the tech confirmed it was the battery. His initial comment was something to the effect that battery warranties are only one year, but after clicking away at whatever he was looking at on the other side of the counter, he confirmed that Apple would be sending replacement free of charge. So it appears to me that this is becoming more of a widespread problem and for those running into this, I would encourage you to complain firmly to Apple Care and your local store and hopefully you'll get a free replacement as well.
Good luck
