MacBook Air 2009 battery draining rapidly.

The charge on my MacBook Air 2009 has been draining rapidly, last night I charged it overnight and this morning when I turned it on the MacBook is only charged to 11%. Any idea what is causing this? My MacBook says that the battery condition is 'Normal' and the MacBook was off whilst it was charging.
I've literally only just had a new HardDrive installed so I'd really hate to have to have a new battery as well.

Then look at the table below to see the maximum number of cycles your Mac is rated before the battery is considered spent and needs t be replaced.
For your MacBook Air 2009 it is likely 500 cycles.

  • MacBook Air 2013 battery drains quickly while in sleep mode

    I just purchased a 13" mid-2013 MacBook Air this week, and so far everything is working well - a remarkable improvement over my 2007 MacBook! But, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain very quickly while in sleep mode. For example, it drained 10% over five hours. I've turned off bluetooth and made sure that the PowerNap option is not selected under Energy Saver preferences. And the battery health/capacity seems to be good. Are there other things that I should turn off/check out? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even abnormal for the battery to drain at this rate while in sleep mode? Thank you!!

  • MacBook Air 2014 battery drain OSX 10.9.5

    Health Information:
      Cycle Count: 62
    Seeing the sudden battery drain after the upgrade to 10.9.5, any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi pandu9,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the battery runtime on your MacBook Air is unexpectedly low, start with these troubleshooting tips:
    Built-In Diagnostic Tools
    A great place to start when troubleshooting battery issues is the built-in diagnostics that are available on your Mac notebook. Review the following articles for more information on using diagnostics.
    Using Apple Diagnostics
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    Note: The additional troubleshooting recommended below assumes you have run the above diagnostic appropriate for your computer and that no issues were found.
    My battery runtime is low
    Identify what the battery life should be for the product you are troubleshooting.
    The Tech Specs site provides Apple's battery life expectations for battery usage. The specifics for wireless web usage and standby time are included in the Tech Specs article for each product.
    There are several common causes battery drain that you can minimize.
    Take steps to optimize your battery life per the Optimizing Battery Life section earlier in this article.
    A common cause of decreased battery life is a "runaway process." Make sure to check Activity Monitor for any runaway processes, especially after installing software updates or a new operating system. Installing updates is important to ensure optimal performance for all applications.
    If you are still having battery runtime issues after optimizing your computer's performance and checking for runaway processes, test in Safe Mode. Safe Mode limits the active items on the system and allows testing in a more minimal environment. If the battery life is better in Safe Mode, you may need to do further software isolation for the items disabled by Safe Mode to determine what the power draw is while not operating in Safe Mode.

  • New MacBook Air 13´´ - battery drains really fast

    So I bought yesterday MacBook Air 13´´. I assumed it was going to be fully or half charged but the battery was dead when I opened the computer. Then I put it on charge and it took about 2-3 hours to fully charge it. After that the battery started to drain really fast, and I didn't expect that. I supposed MacBook 13´´has a battery which could last for about 13 hours, but this is to strange. I don´t have experience with Mac, this is my first Mac, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
    P.S. I updated OS X cause App Store said there's an available update. Don´t know if that has anything to do with it.

    I´m currently in Germany and I´m flying back to Croatia tomorrow. So I won´t be able to do that. :/
    I´ll try to drain battery to 0%, then recharge it again. I read somewhere that could help for first time charging and recharging.
    Don´t know is it normal for Mac to come with drained battery?

  • Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

    Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?  I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

    For global alerts, yes:
    There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
    I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

  • MacBook Air (2009) with Windows 7

    Hello everybody, I use my MacBook Air (2009,1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.3), also with Windows 7 for a software design: ( Rhinoceros 4 (all original softwares). In my case, when I use Windows 7 the temperature of the hardware is very high, I can't touch the surface of my MacBook Air as it is too hot. Anyone has some suggestions?Thank you.

    You download the Windows Support Software for your installation while you are in Boot Camp Assistant (the program you used to create the partition) it is one of the very first steps you need to take: (see below)
    Go back to Boot Camp Assistant and download the software.

    I want to use the icloud features, therefore:
    can i update my macbook air, 2009, 1,6 GHZ, 2GB from 10.6.8 to 10.7 ?
    Thanx very much for your help!

    Upgrade it to Mountain Lion. See the following.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • Macbook air 2009 model wont update to OS X 10.10

    my macbook air (2009 model) refused to download apps because it's not updated to OS X 10.10, but when i check for a software update, it says there are none available. Im currently using version 10.6.8 but unable to download apps such as facebook or twitter. Everything else seems to be fine, such as downloading music from itunes.

    Yosemite (10.10) is not available as an update. It has to be "purchased" at the App Store.

  • Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem?

    Iphone 5 battery drains rapidly, I have turned off apps and location even purchased a new battery, is anyone else having this problem? If anyone knows how to fix please let me know. I've tried the hard reset and nothing works.

    There was a run of bad batteries for the iPhone 5. Apple will replace them if your phone qualifies and you haven't tried to fix it yourself. See: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support. Unfortunately, you may have disqualified yourself if you tried to repair it yourself.
    However, rapid battery drain is only rarely caused by a bad battery. A bad battery is usually diagnosed by a battery percentage that jumps randomly. See this for advice: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain

  • My MacBook Air's battery health is decreasing.

    My Macbook Air's battery health is decreasing. I bought it around a year ago. Now it's battery health is 85%. However, it keeps changing. From 85% to 88% and sometimes it hit 90%. Is my macbook's battery healthy? And is it normal, because I bought it a year ago.
    Here are my battery's properties:
    Cycles     ; 404
    Health     : 85%
    Design Capacity: 6700 mAh
    Current Capacity: 5703 mAh

    i have to disagree with linc davis's reply.
    system profiler, or what they call the system report will have your current battery health status. in power the system profiler will either display "excellent", "normal" or "check battery" the more charge cycles you have, (404 which you stated) the more the battery will loose some capacity. this is normal of lithium ion batteries
    health 85 % is current capactiy (fully charged)  divided by design capacity * 100 or
    5703 / 6700 *100 = 85%
    my mac book air, having it for a year states
    cycle count 163
    Condition : Normal
    Charge remaining 4223
    full charge capacity 4263
    but system profiler, at least on my mac book air running osx 10.8.2 does not list design capacity. so i am wondering where you got that number. the mac book air i have is the mid 2011 11" model
    if you feel after 400 cycles your battery diminished and you have apple care you can always ask them to replace the battery, but if you did not get apple care, then the year warranty would be up. a new mac book air battery outside of apple care or any warranties is $129 before tax at the apple store.
    eventually the more cycles you have ( a cycle is being fully charged from being nearly discharged ) the more you are going to have to replace the battery. whenever you feel you are not getting the charge you used to get the discision to repalce that battery is your choice, but eventually you will have to replace it.
    for example say the battery used to give you 3 hours amd now it only gives you 30 minutes, then yeah replace the battery. but if the time lost in capacity doesn't bother you that much, then don't replace the battery now

  • My macbook air(2009) model is saying replace battery soon

    do i need to send it to apple to get it fixed with a new battery or can i do it all my self (if so how can i do it and how much will it cost to replace and buy the battery)
    thanks a lot

    You can do it yourself fairly easily or send it to Apple.
    There are several sites to buy the battery, here's one for $109 us

  • Macbook Air Poor Battery Life

    I have a mid-2012 Macbook air and I've noticed recently my battery life is horrible. I've read every single other thread about this issue but nothing really helped and even the most recent is from a couple of years ago. Obviously now it's 2015 and my macbook is running on Yosemite, so its not the battery issue that everyone seemed to have with Mavericks.
    Just writing that small section I went from 73% to 68% and at the current 68% I only get an estimated 2 hours and 10 minutes remaining. I've also had only Safari running this whole time.
    Option clicking the battery icon reveals that the condition is normal, as well as the power system report. It also has gone through only 441 cycles, no where near its 1000 cycle "limit" and its health is already down to 77%. While obviously the condition is normal and doesn't say I need to replace the battery I feel that I should, based off of everything else.

    Have macbook air from mid 2012 - I installed Yosemite November 2014 and since then I'm having problem with my battery - it has been draining super fast - 4hrs battery life now compared to earlier 8hrs.
    I reinstalled Yosemite, didn’t help and then made a clean reinstallation of Yosemite about  5 days ago and there is still the same drain issue.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Improving the 2013 Macbook Air i7 battery life

    Hi
    I've checked couple of topics related to this issue seems many people suffer from this problem, i7 8gb ram with 512gb ssd Macbook air has some issues with its battery life it reduced very quickly. I've applied some techniques -like smc reset,deleting launch daemons and agents- and have an improvement in battery performance. Now the point is, when i do the EtreCheck there are many kernel extensions displayed in the report. Is there any way to delete them and slightly improve the battery life?

    Is there any other suggestions that you may offer ? Many thanks

    You can use the new Activity Monitor to determine a unitless "Energy Impact" value:
    You can also click the battery icon in your Mac's menu to reveal significant energy hogs (UPS is shown below):
    Whereas Apple recently updated their apps to take advantage of Mavericks' energy saving algorithms, few other vendors have. I surmise the prominent "Energy Impact" hall of shame addition to the new Activity Monitor is Apple's subtle way of nudging them into compliance.
    Google's plethora of invasive OS X system modifications is a popular reason for excessive battery drain. Google has yet to demonstrate the ability to develop efficient OS X apps, and one can only surmise they are not interested in doing so. If you elect to use Google Chrome or any other poorly implemented OS X programs, you must accept the detrimental effect they will have on performance and battery life.
    If you no longer use a Blackberry, uninstall RIM's software. Be sure to follow its uninstallation instructions.
