Maverick draining battery after upgrade MBP 2009

I upgraded my MBP 2009 2.8 GHZ intel core 2 duo to Maverick, before upgrading the battery life was around 5-6 hours now the battery
level drops quickly and I only get around 2 hours battery life.
I have reset the SMC as per this web site and performed a permissions fix and verify disk (no issues) and have waited a week now for spotlight to do its thing
but still the same issue.
I have notice that the bottom on the notebook gets hot as if running an intensive app but no apps are using significant power.
It is as if I have switch the graphics to high performance but the energy saver setting say better battery life.
This issue may have started after I switched the graphics to high performance and after setting this back to better battery life I noticed that after logging out
this setting reverted to graphics high performance.
could the graphics still be in performance mode but indicating better battery life?

Nothing obvious here, but better get rid of that remnant of CleanMyMac2. Also check if all software with kernel extensions, launch agents and launch daemons is still necessary and up to date (if not uninstall or update).

"service battery" after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I tried restarting the SMC of my laptop and it didnt work. prior to updating to Mountain Lion, my battery life was still okay. but after updating, it drains fast and it says that I need to have my battery replaced. "service battery" How did that happen overnight?? and is there any way for me to fix this problem??

Today it happened to me too. Service battery notice. Current charge 0% (*huh*, how can it still be running...)
This is already my third battery in my early 2008 MacBook Pro. I have the feeling that:
1. OS X upgrades kill my batteries: I had to replace the battery after upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6 and now from
    10.7 to 10.8.
2. The MacBook Pro early 2008 is a very bad series:
     - Display "clamshell" has been replaced due to broken LED issue (only half the LED's lighting up after sleep)
    - Logic board had been replaced (bad NVIDIA GPU)
    -- Both these issues have been solved under Applecare, luckily.
     - Battery has been replaced 3 (THREE!) times in 3 years. The average lifespan of a battery is slightly less
      than ONE year.
For me - personaly - these issues are really the limit. After being a loyal Apple user for more than 6 years I feel quite disappointed.
I will contact a European Apple "Premium" Reseller this week to see what they are prepared to do.
Since I live in the South of the Netherlands I would have to travel about 180 km to the nearest real Apple Store (Amsterdam). The warranty has long expired, so perhaps now is the time to stop wasting money on repairs and buy a cheap € 400 laptop on linux instead of another € 139 battery...
I really, really hope that the Service Battery issue is a (bad) joke and an update of OS X will solve the issue.

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
HELP!

The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.

Previously only menu was found open.I think its draining battery alot.
APP STOP is free app on ovi,u can try that.
Can someone help??
Solved!

It not the service pack mate, it the new Map 3.08 that comes with the OTA update. Or even worse, apparently 3.08 is embedded with the V25 firemware for N8.

Service Battery after upgrade 10.8, what's wrong???

After upgrading to 10.8 (and now 10.8.2) my battery icon show "SERVICE BATTERY"!!!!
What's wrong????
Just 36 cycles count, and from 5018 to 4860 mAh Full Charge Capacity (after about 2 days)
Please help,
Thank you!!!!!

In all likelihood, you've been bit by a known ML problem. You can read more in this 195 page thread. Bottom line is that with so few cycles, you should take it to an Apple store and have it looked at - and possibly have the battery replaced. Some people have had their logic boards or entire machines replaced. But there doesn't seem to be a consisent theme that anyone can point to as being the cause. In my case, I elected to return to Lion until I have more trust that Apple has solved this problem (which, BTW, not everyone encounters)

IPhone 4S heats up and quickly drains out battery after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2

Last Sunday i.e. on 14-Dec-2014 i upgraded my iPhone 4S (WiFI + 3G, 64GB) to iOS 8.1.2. Since then my iPhone's battery has started to drain out abnormally fast (it doesn't even last an hour after charging it fully to 100%) and the phone even heats up simultaneously.When checked under Settings> Usage> Battery Usage, i found the app-wise usage of battery like this: Phone (Audio) 36%, WhatsApp-24%, Home & Lock Scree-17%, Settings-7%, Messages-5%, Mail-4%, TOI-2%, Conatact-2%, and rest few apps 1% each. Prior to upgrading the iOS to 8.1.2, the battery life of my iPhone was normal: i just had to recharge once in 24 hours with normal usage of the phone. Could anybody help me to fix the problem? Thanks in advance. -BBS Ijam, GTK/SKM/171214

I think iPhone 4s is oLd now we need to update our as I will have to change my battery from repair center maybe this will solve the problem the new iOS are heavy for our phones.
*** I also have extra internal battery cover for my iPhone. I can't go out without that cover because my iPhone battery drain so fast from 100% it will be maybe 60 % so fast that is so annoying.
Long story short my iPhone is screwed up I think I don't trust my iPhone battery anymore.

Macbook Pro heating up and draining battery after yosemite upgrade.

On Friday, I upgraded to Yosemite and I really like it. However my computer keeps heating up very quickly when doing simple tasks and the battery also drains. About 1% every 2 minutes when on Safari and having Pages open in the background. What can I do to slow down the battery drain. Before, on Mavericks I could get a whole day on Safari but now about half a day.

Battery drains fast after upgrading to Windows 10 (Lenovo T450s)

yes upgraded each and every driver to its latest..

Hello! I need help... I just bought a Lenovo thinkpad T450s and everything was good until I upgraded the OS to Windows 10. Now my batteries only last half of the time they lasted with Windows 8.1 I've restored to factory settings and it didn't fix it. Anybody with the same problem?

Maps draining battery after closed

Hello,
I'm not too sure it's a z3 compact issue or a Google maps issue, but here's the problem:
After using Google maps with location on, the app keeps draining a massive amount of the battery, even after turning off the location and closing the app. I've noticed when I go to settings-power management-battery usage-maps that the GPS time keeps running despite both location and app being closed. Location history and reporting are off under location settings.
Only way out I've found so far is restarting the phone, which is not ideal.
Anybody with same issue? Any fix?
Thanks

Hi Nosfe,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
You could try uninstalling the latest update to the Maps application and then simply reinstalling, it could be due to bad install.

Service battery after upgrading software - not under warranty

Hey guys,
I have a Macbook Pro from early 2009 with the problem in the title. I'm not under warranty anymore, and my battery has 246 cycles. The service battery indicator appeared shortly after updating to 10.6.something - I'm not sure what, I just know it had been a while since updating. If I take this into Apple is there any chance of them covering replacing it or am I SOL on this one?
Thanks!

Yes, that's correct, prepare to pay. For instance, let's say you bought some new Pirellis (those are tires) for your Lamborghini, and the guy at the tire store told you that you would get 15,000 miles on them (these are for your Lamborghini, so they won't last 30,000 miles like some tires do). So you head on out with your Lamborghini, and within 10,000 miles all four tires have lost their tread, three of them having blown at various times on the freeway. But hey, it's your fault, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the tires. Just like with your battery. I don't think you should be thinking your Mac is giving you bad information or charging your battery incorrectly, based solely on the fact that about TEN THOUSAND other Mac users have noticed the same issue. It's undoubtedly that your battery wore out, even though Apple says those batteries last (at a minimum) 300 cycles. Or the fact that users have done a battery reset with PRAM and SMC reset, and had their batteries start to fully recharge again. I wouldn't rely on that. I would instead rely on people who reply with an absolutely worthless comment, as if they actually worked at the Apple Store. But hey, that's just my opinion - I'm sure a lot of people think Snow Leopard has been FLAWLESS, with no issues whatsoever. In fact, I would say that for a BETA release, Snow Leopard hasn't been bad at all (wait, it's not a beta release, you say? Hmmm....).
Lookf for a post that covers PRAM and SMC reset. You could start with this one....https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2139186?start=1530&tstart=0

E5 battery after upgrade to v101.003

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic decrease in battery backup after the upgrade ?
I distinctly remember getting more than 2 days worth of juice when on 0.91, but after the upgrade, the phone barely sees a day at full charge.
Nokia guys, what changed ? Can we expect a fix soon ?

Yes, they were installed the day I bought the phone. I know how hungry Whatsapp is and that's why was kind of expecting the phone to last 2 days at max and I was happy that it did with the earlier OS, but after the upgrade, the backup seems to have gone down the hill. Had to resort to turning off UMTS and decreasing screen brightness to pull out more juice, but that's about it.

New air problem with battery after upgrade to 10.6.5

Hi List.
I bought new air about month ago. Everything was working like a charm.
2 days ago I did macos upgrade and I have big problem with battery performance. Only 2 hours of working after full charging. I decided to downgrade system to 10.6.4 and problem's gone.
Is there something wrong with 10.6.5 on new air?

Hi,
I dont think there is something wrong with 10.6.5 simply because I have no problem with it
Since battery management is one of the SMCs, resetting it may solve the issue.
