Macbook Pro powers off when on battery power
Help! My MBP 17" now powers off after a couple of minutes on battery power. When this happens, trying to boot again, the system will power off again while loading the OS. The only way to get the MBP to boot then is to plug in the AC adaptor.
I've reset the SMC and reconditioned the battery. Both the OS and the battery think the battery is fully charged. This didn't happen before upgrading to Leopard.
I believe the color of the magsafe was green and that it wasn't charging. (The MBP thought the battery was at 96%.)
Here's the profile after I got to work and plugged in my magsafe (which is a second magsafe I keep at work), the color is amber:

Macbook pro turns off when i unpliug
macbook pro turns off when i unpliug
You either need to plug in your charger and if that isn't working if your machine is less than a year old take it in to your nearst Apple Store and let them deal with it. Or if you are out of warrantee you will need to get a new battery for your Mac

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks
If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, 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. -
Macbook Pro shutting off when closed - Mountain Lion
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now my macbook pro shuts off instead of sleeps everytime i close the screen and needs to be re-booted when screen is re-opened. Any one had the same issue and any known fixes?
Check System Preferences --> Energy Saver and make sure you do not have the sleep sliders set to "Never".
This may pertain to either or both Battery and/or Power Adapter tabs in System Preferences. -

This is a current sensor on the power bus. This seems consistent with your symptoms.
A faulty sensor on the logic board means the board has to be replaced, take in for repair:

Waking 2012 Macbook Pro from sleep when on mains power
My Macbook takes ages to wake from sleep *when its on mains power* and has been left for a few hours. In contrast, it will wake instantly when on battery power, as my old 2005 ibook did.
However when on mains when you open the lid, you get a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When this has completed, it displays the login screen but without focus or ability to move the cursor. A pinwheel revolves for a while. After the pinwheel has finished, as soon as you touch the trackpad, you get the beach ball and finally (after a total of about 45 seconds) you get to log in.
Apart from the fact that this doesn't make any sense for a slow wake up on mains and fast wake up on battery, the manner is which it is executed is so cumbersome and un-Apple I'm sure there has to be something wrong, although I've searched extensively and can't find anything to fix it (Tried resetting the SMC etc)
Any help massively appreciated!Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Laptop randomly switches off when on battery power.
When on battery power my HP DV3500EA laptop randomly switches off (this is only a recent problem). This is when there is still significant charge on the battery. This does not happen when on AC power. Once it has switched off, the laptop is able to be switched back on again and run normally until the next time it switches itself off. It doesn't shut down, it just turns off immediately as if the battery has run out. I have checked that it is not overheating - the CPU temp is generally between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius. I know this isn't a software problem because it does this on different operating systems (Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux). I assume this means it must be a hardware problem, but I can't work out what it is or how to fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas?Exact same problem with my Envy 13 running with windows 7... any solution besides bringing the laptop back to the store?

Macbook pro turns off when taken off the power-cord, is the battery bad?
For a while my MCP when I take it off the charger it doesnt hold the whole time as it should and the battery doesnt last long, and now the past couple days when i take my laptop off the power-cord it will stay on for five minutes then shut down. I dont know what is going on, maybe a bad battery? I got my computer august 2006 . These are my numbers.
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 590
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 431
Amperage (mA): 685
Voltage (mV): 12575

isnt the fully charge capacity a little low? what should I do?
thanks!If your MacBook Pro is a core duo model you may have a bad battery and be elgible for a battery replacement. The batteries on the original core duo MacBook and MacBook Pro had the warranty extended and extra year. The details are in this link.

Macbook Pro shutting off when unplugged and at 80% battery? help!
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 15 in. that i got in May of 2011. When i unplug the power adapter it works fine, but at about 80% battery it shuts off. i go to turn it back on and it acts as if it is dead, i press the power button again and it turns on without problem (although the date and time at first is messed up). What is wrong? I recently had to get my hard drive replaced 2 months ago and it has been working fine until yesterday. What could be wrong and how do i fix it?
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. Back up all data before you go.

2011 Macbook Pro powers off - need advice
Hi there
I have a macbook pro that switches off randomly (happens sometimes when i move/transport it), and sometimes it only turns on when plugged in. When not plugged in and i press the power button to switch on i can hear the machine running for about 2-3 sec and then shuts off again. I also noticed that if i reset my SMC (holding down Cmd, option, shift and power) it does switch on usually without the need of it being plugged in - however the date and time needs to be set everytime and Im sure there is a better way than resetting my SMC every time my MacBook decides its time to die on me again. I am guessing the fault lies with a faulty motherboard or battery but im not sure. Im about to open my MacBook for the first time yet Id like to avoid it if I can.
I doubt its a software issue although I have installed bootcamp and played a few games here and there that might have caused the machine to become quite hot.
Has anybody experienced this before or have any advice on this?
