MacBook Pro 2.2 Check Battery Status .....

Hi All,
My MacBook Pro is showing the following stats for my battery (this is battery number 2 in less than one year/still under AppleCare)......Any ideas as to what can be causing battery after battery to go bad time and time again? This Mac, which is also my first Apple product, has given me lots of trouble (Batteries, LCD replacements, CD drive....) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your stats do not show Charge and Health information.
Per your user manual: Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
From MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface. Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
Since you have Apple Care, call them and tell them about your issue. If they feel you need yet another battery, ask them or the repair technician why your batteries keep failing?

2008's MacBook Pro needs a new battery?

Hi!
My client said his four years MacBook Pro's old battery doesn't last long these days -- about 20 minutes and then shuts off. No warnings or anything. Even the status show 25% battery power left. Does this old MBP need to get a new battery or need to reset/fix the charge status? If it just needs a reset/fix, then what's the best/correct way to do that? Also, Mac OS X 10.5.8 has all the updates. If it needs a new battery, then what's the best place to get a new one in Los Angeles/L.A. or Orange County/O.C. area? From a local Apple store?
Thank you in advance.

Or any Apple Store. Fry's, Radio Shack and Costco won't have them. Best Buy does, but speaking for myself, nothing could induce me to buy anything there.
Thank you. Is there a specific battery model to buy for this old MBP? Hmm, maybe it is just easier to go to a local Apple store and get a battery replacement and to get help (especially when bringing in the old MBP) from one of the Apple store guys (hopefully, expired AppleCare won't matter).
FYI to everyone. Here is what it says when running on battery right after seeing 97% charge in Mac OS X 10.5.8's System Profiler (note the check battery status):

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.

hienn,
Not yet. There was an upgrade page to 10.8.2 for the late 2012 models but it's down now. I have to assume that Apple pulled it because of some bugs. I would look for something next week, more likely than not. In the meantime, the OP should be good with 10.8.1 until the update shows up again.

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.

MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly slow, battery draining etc

My computer crashed end of December 2012 right before vacation. I went to the Genius Bar, diagnosed as a "software issue". Had computer erased and started over. Upgraded to Yosemite while out of town. When I came home, I transferred back data from Time Capsule with Migration Assistant. I have talked to Apple 4 times and given 4 different answers (remount Time Machine, reset PVRAM, etc). Read through this thread but I don't see what to do. Here is my EtreCheck. Seriously I need help because this is my work and school computer and it needs to be fixed. Do I need to get more ram? Battery health says good but it seems as if its draining seriously fast.   And I hear the fan coming on a lot more.
Problem description:
My system is constantly moving slow and programs take a while to open.

Select each of the items shown in RED in Activity Monitor. Click on the Quit icon in AM's toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. You only need to do this if you are unable to quit the programs in the normal way - Make the program the frontmost application, then press COMMAND-Q.
You also have two items in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. They should not be there. You can remove them. HP should have updated software that replaces the older driver. I'm not sure about the TiVo item, but it should not be installed in that location.
You should check the Classroom Enrichment application for compatibility with Yosemite: See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
As for your backup needs I would suggest this:
Repartition the Seagate backup drive. This removes all the Seagate software. If you want more control over your backups than provided by Time Machine see the following options:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. You can download free trial versions of all six so you can try them out and decide on the one you prefer before paying for it. I am a big fan of Carbon Copy Cloner, but that does not mean it's your best choice.
Now given all the above consider that you can always use Time Machine. But until you get your computer straightened out I would refrain from making a backup. There's no point in restoring a malfunctioning backup made of a malfunctioning computer.

New Macbook Pro (2010) 15 inch battery issues!!!!

Hi,
Please help me.I sense a fraud act by the macbook servicing center in my city.
My macbook was bought in 2010 and after having used many times I was said tha the machine was getting heated up due to poor standard of the battery and that the battery needs to be replaced.So here are my questions in points-
1.When I get my battery replaced without warranty,Should I get the Old battery or does the servicing center replaces my battery with a new one and does nt return me my battery.
2.The battery,when i tested through COCONUT BATTERY appliocation shows 89% capacity with 374 cycles,which means its not new.Because in 1 day it cannot be upto 374 cycles.
3.What should be th ideal battery standby time for a new battery of macbook pro.Currently its showing only 3 hours!!!I think its totally unbelievebale.
4.Is there any opther application to check the battery isd new or not??????

Thanks a lot for your info, Glynn. I appreciated much.
Unfortunately, the Apple dealer said that currently there is no this type of mac in their inventory. Therefore they can not do a complete replacement & they referred me to Apple authorized service center. Today, I got more news from this Apple authorized service center & they suggested to return my new macbook pro to the Apple Dealer where I purchased my Mac. After sent Email to Apple, tomorrow they will contact me. Hopefully they will not referred me again to other place...
This is like they sent me back and forth and it's really frustrated. This is the worst experience I ever had in buying computer & I am feel that I paid to much for such low quality product & service.
Sorry Apple, but this is really disappointed me.

MacBook Pro can't recognize battery, fan is at high speed and computer functions really slow

My MacBook Pro suddenly won't recognize it's battery so I tried rmoving it's battery and put it back again. I can use it but there is still an (X) sign instead of the battery percentage on the upper right corner of my desktop. After this I turned on my laptop and all of a sudden the fan turned on on high speed and it became slow (by slow I mean really slow) even if I don't open/use anything on my computer because of this I went to an Apple Service Center and they tried to check if its because of the hard drive, RAM and all that stuff. They told me it's not because of those things but they also told me that maybe the wiring or the cable of the battery that connects to the computer is not working so I have to replace it. But for the fan and the slowing of my computer they don't know what's happening.
I really need help. Pleaseeeeeee. Thanks in advance.

Macbook pro w/ retina display battery life issues !

*** ! Battery life of my MacBook Pro is dropping ! it dropped 1-2 hours after upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion !

There are multiple sides to the answer to your question.
If the battery goes out while under warranty, Apple will fix it.
If the battery goes out after the warranty, Apple has already announced the price of the replacement. You can also check this page for more details about what is involved with servicing the batteries. For example, this page says if you can take the laptop to an Apple Retail Store you should expect a same day repair.

Now the last part of the answer. Remember that the battery cycle life of the built-in batteries is much higher than for removable batteries. That's a big reason they chose to build them in, freeing up space and weight for more battery by eliminating removable-bay hardware. This means, if on the old laptops you used to replace your battery because it would run down, there is a possibility the higher-capacity built-in battery might still hold a decent charge by the time you decide that you want a newer model anyway. Meaning you might not have to replace the battery.
