MacBook Pro shuts down with battery in

My 2009 MacBook Pro randomly shuts off with the battery in but runs fine when I remove the battery. The battery is relatively new (less than 1 year). When it is plugged in the light on the adapter is green however, the battery status says "not chargIng". I have tried all of the following:
Reset SMC
Reset PRAM
Repaired disc and disc permissions
Used different adapter
All to no avail. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like you need to replace the battery.

  • Macbook Pro shuts down with 40% battery left... does not just go to sleep

    Hi,
    Our MacBook Pro has started to shut down with about 40% battery left. After it has shut down, I press the button underneath the computer and 2 our of 5 lights light up on the battery. I wouldn't mind if it just went to sleep but I totally have to restart it and lose everything I have been working on when it died. The computer used to go to sleep when the battery got to 0%, then I could plug it in and keep working.
    I don't know if it's a software issue or a battery issue or a firmware issue.
    Any tips would be MUCH appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    I have read so many articles across the internet with people experiencing this problem. This is the conclusion I came to.
    I could not calibrate my battery as my system would hard power down before it got anywhere close to draining the battery entirely. The last 10 cycles on my battery were attempts at calibrating. The most common cause would be because the battery in our macbook pro does contain something close to the charge being reported by the computer, but cannot deliver it. Your fuel gauge is probably not incorrect, especially when the leds on the battery itself show a charge that should be capable of running the machine. Even if it is not calibrated correctly. The internal resistance of the battery itself has compromised the batteries ability to deliver the amperage necessary to run our machines. After finally realizing this, I turned my screen brightness all the way down, and sat all my power settings to max battery life without allowing the machine to go asleep. Then, I went to sleep myself =). In the morning it appeared as though I had a successful calibration and the machine did not power down hard. Depending on how bad of shape your battery is in, this may or may not work. Either way, it didn't matter much. Even with my fuel gauge being correct, if my screen brightness was cranked up and I was doing anything somewhat processor intensive, my battery failed to provide the needed amperage and powered down my system hard again.
    The battery really does have the amount of power it says, it just cannot deliver it as fast as needed. At a slower rate, it will work. A replacement battery is needed. I cannot explain the strange jumps/dips in storage capacity but would guess these numbers are a guide, and more than one environmental factor can change this number. Also, once the internal resistance builds up inside the battery and the inability to calibrate happens, it compunds the problem.
    My machine is a first gen intel macbook pro. A few months after I bought it, I had battery problems and apple replaced my battery. My machine is 31 months old, it's battery is somewhere around 27. I tried to get apple to replace my battery and they told me no. I was 40% healthy @ 207 cycles. Many people complain about this but it seems reasonable to me, I didn't argue. I do believe my battery failed prematurely, however, it was due to a few factors and I do not think it was the batteries fault. My machine was one of those nice overheating first generation macbook pros. To make the matter worse, one of my internal fans stopped working. I knew this as my istat pro program showed me 1 fan @ zero rpm. I figured I had applecare and had work to do, so continued to use the computer for several months. I did quite a bit of video encoding and processor intensive work. When I would get to work in the morning, my granite desktop was really cold, however, after a half hour or so with the macbook pro running the heat would dissipate through it and warm it up nice and comfortable! lol, some may not think this is funny, but it worked well for me. I frequently had over 180 degree cpu temps and the bar above the keyboard being too hot to lay your hand on and keep it there. I am sure some of this excess heat contributed to the premature failure of my battery. The type of batteries in our machines are killed by heat, charge amount, cycles and age. Probably in that order for most users. So, can I blame apple because my unit ran hotter than it should have because their fan failed! eh, maybe, but I am happy with this laptop overall. I have never had a single laptop for more than 15 months and have had this one for over 30 now.
    I ran across this site somewhere, it may have been another user on these forums, I cannot remember. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-19.htm On this page, it talks about our batteries, the effects of heat and level of charge in combination with age. At 77 degrees F., charged to 100% (which is very typical of our machines, or close to it) after one year the battery is 80% as good as it was when it was new. At 32 degrees it is as 94% as good as new after one year. Jump up to 104 F. and the battery is only 65% as good as new after 1 year. Sometimes my computer is running for days and sometimes the environment is warm. Add that to the heat produced by the machine itself and I bet the battery sustained 100 degree temperatures for long periods of time. Just for fun, at 140 degrees and 100% charge in our lithium ion batteries, after only 3 months the capacity is only 60% of its new capacity.
    Anyways, that is my battery story. Sum up. The inability to calibrate is due to the batteries increased internal resistance and inability to deliver the charge at a rate needed by your computer even though it appears healthy, or somewhat healthy. You may be able to calibrate by making your laptop drain less power, turn screen brightness all the way down, turn airport & bluetooth off, let hard disk sleep, and let it go. But that will not stop the hard shut down problem, although the fuel gauge will be more accurate. Think of it like this. a 100 gallon fuel tank on a car full of gas. The fuel gauge is correct, it is full. However, the fuel line connecting the fuel tank to the engine is made of a space age material that shrinks as it ages and is exposed to heat. Eventually the fuel line shrinks to the size of a coffee stirrer or small straw. When the motor is turned off the fuel seeps into the small straw. Start the motor, it begins to sip the fuel from the straw. Rev it up (encode video), the motor demands more gas but cannot get it. The motor stalls out (your computer shuts off). Same idea somewhat. Sorry so long

  • Macbook Pro Shut down with a Woosh sound and Beeeep Beeeeep

    Hi,
    I have Macbook Pro bought in 2010 Nov and since Dec 2011 i have been having this problem, the computers shuts down with a Beeeeppp Beeepp loud sound and there is WOOOOOOSHHHH should quite loud and then shut up... i have done 2 service but the problems still exist and i am stuck as it works only 10-15 mts before it shuts down...

    If you have the 15" 2010 model, you may be having some problems with a bad NVIDIA GPU found on some boards that will cause kernel panics. See -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Note that the kernel panics only affect the 15" model.
    If you do have the problem as described in the Knowledge Base article, it's a good thing that you purchased the machine in November 2010 as the replacement program is only 'good' for three years from date of purchase.
    If you DON'T have the 15" model, call back. We can look at some logs, maybe, and see just what's going on.

  • Macbook Pro shuts down with a full battery, resets date

    Hey I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro that has been shutting down randomly. It'll have a  full battery, but shut down when I unplug it or even sometimes when it's still plugged in. Every time I start it up again, the date is changed to Jan. 1 2008 and there's a notification that because it's set to that date, some applications may respond "erratically". It did this for about 2 weeks, then was back to working fine for about a month and now it's started up again.
    Today when I turned it back on after it shut down, a notification said to rebuild the iPhoto library. I didn't really know what it meant so I clicked OK because I thought it would help. Instead it erased my entire iPhoto library and shut down again. Thankfully I had my picture backed up!
    I have a Genius appointment tomorrow, but was curious if this is happening to anyone else or if anyone has a diagnosis!
    Thanks!

    Ok so I took it to the Apple store today and the guy was mildly helpful. He said I'm probably running too many programs at the same time and it's depleting all the power. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion because I feel like MacBooks are built to handle checking your email and editing a picture at the same time. He checked all the systems with disk utility and everything, including the battery, came back in good shape.  Anyway, it worked fine (of course) when I was with him, but the moment I got home it was worse than ever. Now, even when plugged in, it'll only stay on for a few minutes, if that. It won't turn on at all if it's not plugged in. It plays this game where it shuts itself down then turns itself back on then shuts down again over and over. Any ideas? I feel like I'll just have to take it back to the store.

  • Macbook pro shuts down when battery reaches 90%

    Ever since I installed iOS, both my Macbook Pros have started showing the same strange behavior. On battery power, they suddenly shut down even when there is still supposedly plenty of power left. Last night one of them (the newer one) shut down at 90%. the other shut down at 75%. Any ideas?

    I really hope that sig doesn't work for Apple Support... or at least he doesn't anymore.
    Allan, sometimes people make mistakes speaking technical words, specially if those are Apple achronims. What differentiates a good answer from a waste of time is when one makes an effort to understand what the other is trying to say and gives a potential solution.
    However drmezan, has wasted his time with you two explaining his problem until he got the question corretly formulated, and when at last he manages the way you like it... none of you reply... is this a joke?
    Are you kidding people here or what?
    drmezan:
    I'm suffering the same situation here, however if I plug it to the power supply it doesn't shuts down.
    Would it be related to the temperature ? It's true that my Mac Book Pro gets really hot quite quick, but it only turns off suddently when running on battery.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. 

  • MacBook Pro shutting off with battery charged

    I have a MacBook Pro I purchased about 22 months ago. About seven days ago, I started noticing the computer just shutting off without warning, even with a charge of 20% or more. Using Coconutbattery my batter still has 62% of it's original capacity with 367 load-cycles. Battery life isn't great, so I was considering buying a new battery, I'd just like to know if other's experience this, and would a new battery solve the problem.
    There are no other problems with the machine.

  • MacBook Pro Shuts down when battery low without warning

    Hi
    My MBP has been quite power efficient. However, for the last 3 days (since I installed the Mac Update to 10.4.7, I think) when the computer runs on battery the computer switches off without warning. This happens when the battery power is about 25%. It wont restart until I connect it to the AC adapter. Upon start up the battery level is 22%.
    The computer doesn't go into sleep or warns it just up and quits.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Same problem here with a 17" MacBook Pro that I have had less than a week. Just last night it started doing it. This is so frustrating, especially since it's a week 25 model. At 28%, it shuts off with no warning, and pressing the button on the battery shows no charge (no lights come on). It was working fine before, and I had already tried resetting the PMU and calibrating the battery.
    I called AppleCare, and the lady I spoke with had to do some checking, and I waited on hold for a long time. When she got back, she told me that she had spoken with a product specialist and that my serial number wasn't covered by the battery recall. She then tried to tell me that the computer shutting off by itself at 28% is "normal behavior," and I should make sure to keep my battery charged up and not let it get that low. She went on to say that the battery isn't covered by the warranty, so she couldn't send me a new battery and I should take my computer to an authorized service provider (the nearest of which is 80 miles away) to have them diagnose the problem.
    I told her (nicely) that it is most certainly not normal behavior--it's unacceptable. So she put me on the line with a product specialist, who I had to convince that there was a problem with my battery. I told him that the full charge capacity has been fluctuating all over the place and that I've been getting poor battery life (due to the fluctuating capacity combined with the computer shutting off at 28%).
    He said that even though my serial number wasn't covered by the battery recall, he would send me a new one. And of course I had to give him my credit card number to ensure that I returned my old one.
    Anyway, hopefully the new battery fixes it for me. If I can remember, I'll update on my situation in case anyone's interested.

    jayanta.ray,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have (did you buy it new?), and which version of OS X is installed on it?

  • My MacBook Pro shuts down after battery charge runs out.

    The laptop does not go to sleep and the  clock resets to December 31, 1980.

    Time for a new battery. 
    Does zapping the PRAM correct the problem? 
    Since you using SL, I am assuming your model MBP can be calibrated.  When was the last time you calibrated the battery? 

  • Macbook pro  shuts down at 15% battery

    ok so my macbook pro shuts down at 15% battery by it self without warning just started happening yesterday i got this model in october 2009. Need to know if i have to get a new battery confused with what is wrong with it any reply would be greatly appreciated

    In System Profiler/Power what does it say about the Cycles and Condition ?
    Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery (you should re-calibrate every couple of months).

  • MacBook pro shuts down at 50% battery life!

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 
    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
    #4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • 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.

    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. 

  • My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down by it self (Random occurrence).

    My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down (randomly) by it self, some times it will not turn on, and some other times (very rarely) the fans go on “very loudly” the second I turn it on. But the computer, does not turn on at all, even with the battery fully charged and the fans runing full blast.
    Some other times, it will not wake up. It will only turn on or wake up if connected to the power adapter, even if the battery is fully charged.
    I have already reset (a couple times) de firmware, the smc and he pmu and the problem persists.
    Al this goes on randomly and unpredictably. Some times it works just fine for 4 or 5 days and the suddenly something happens.
    I also think that some times the computer runs extremely hot.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    15' MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I have the same thing happening with a new macbook I bought my wife and I called apple today and after going back and forth between apple care and apple customer service they are shipping me out a new replacement macbook as it is less than 30 days since I bought it. I am waiting for their email with the Fed ex info so I can send this one back and then they will send out the new one.
    If it is still in warranty I suggest you call Apple customer service and let them know how bad it is and insist on a new one!
    This one also reboots at the slightest movement and it took me several tries to finally log in on it tonight to delete all the user accounts before I send it back!
    Hopefully the replacement one is glitch free!

    MacBook Pro shuts down when I close lid. How can I prevent it?

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
