MBP Battery Dies Within 5 minutes!
Hi All,
I have a Intel C2D 2.2 MBP. By chance one day, it went dead whilst using battery only after a few minutes. This happened a few times so I did the battery recycle thing a few times but the problem still exists. Every-time I try to run from batter only, within les than 5 minutes, the battery gives up and my MBP shuts off. the Battery indicator however always shows full/100%. The battery information shows:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 65336
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 65336
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 11951
Cycle Count: 56
Also, I never get any low battery warning before it just shuts off! Why is this happening and what can I do to rectify it?
Many Thanks,
Suave!
Suffering with the same battery issues here.
Apple replaced this battery under warranty last april after the original battery
failed with the same issue and now... here we go again.
System Profiler also indicates:
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 65337
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 65337
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12300
Cycle Count: 14 <--- Gone bad after only 14 Cycles?
I had the original batery replaced at the apple store, unfortunately it appears the replacement was also defective.

Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?
Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

just bought my iphone, and the battery dies within one day. Is there anyway to get the apps not to run when i am not using them to save my battery
Yeah. Double tap the home button and the screen will shift upwards to show all your running apps. Just press and hold one until they start 'wiggling' then press the 'no entry' like sign that appears in the top left corner of the apps. That'll close them and release the memory and resources they're taking up

I have updated my iphone 4 (AT&T 3G) last week to IOS6.1, battery dies within 90 mins fully charged, and the phone gets really hot! What's the fix? Pls help!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

MBP battery lasts about 30 minutes on full charge
Now I'm not the greatest with computers, especially not Macs. I got my MBP about a year and a half ago and I keep it plugged in all the time. On a full charge, I normally get about 20-30 minutes when it is not plugged in. My battery indicator in the menu bar doesn't even warn me. It will tell me I am at 85% and then it shuts down with no warning. Is there something I did wrong or can do to fix this? Thanks!
If you have applecare, you might qualify for a new battery. Also check your serial number against the recall list https://support.apple.com/macbookpro15/batteryexchange/
However, if I remember right, it is a good idea to "exercise" the battery about once a week. Let it run down most of the way. Also, you should calibrate the battery once a month. To calibrate the battery--and I believe Applecare will force you to do this before they are willing to replace the battery (unless it was on the recall list)--make sure the battery has been fully charged for at least 2 hours, then unplug the computer and let the battery run down until it shuts down, then wait 6 hours, then plug the computer back in and let it charge all the way. -

Check that all enviroment variables are complete and still in place?
JAVA_HOME and DBMS_TYPE and so on
Also check that all exe files are of the same version, if not, make sure they are.

Battery dies in 20 minutes or less
My HTC Droid Incredible used to have battery life of 2 days. Now I am lucky to get 20 minutes. Bought new battery, no help. Not sure if it's connected, but Pandora will not open, just gives force close message. Thanks for any advice.
Hi ttgach,
If a new battery did not fix the issue, I would move on to the factory data reset that AZSALUKI recommended.
Go to Menu>Settings>SD Card & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset and follow the steps on the screen. After this, you will need to reprogram the phone and sign back into gmail. Please ensure your info is backed up to gmail or the SD card before completing the master reset.
Thank you! -
HT1435 My iPod mini's battery dies within about 30 seconds. What's up with that?
What it says up there.
That's a pretty good sign that the battery is completely shot and in need of replacing. Not suprising since it's an iPod Mini and those have been out for a number of years now.
You can choose to have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee, send it to a third party service to have them do the job for a little less, or for even less you can buy a new battery for it and swap it out yourself.

Battery dies within 1 hr or less, whats wrong?
well my ipod just started to lose it battery power really fast recently, every day i use it, it seems to last less and less, its always fully charged, so im wondering if there is something i can do to fix it, its only a yr old so the battery should be fine.
i dont have the receipt
You'll have trouble getting the battery replaced under warranty without proof of purchase. In any case it sounds like it is more than 1 year old and thus not covered by warranty anyway.
dont know how to calibrate the battery/battery meter
See this
or, or update the firmwire
See this
where would i send it to get the battery replaced?
You can send it to Apple - Apple Battery Replacement Service
Or you can order a battery and put it in yourself (eg, http://www.ipodbattery.com)

my iPod mini's battery dies within 10 minutes. I'll charge it overnight and still only around ten minutes. I got the speakers but that charger doesnt work either. I don't know what to do.
hey,
i just changed my ipod mini's battery because of the same problem (10 hour charge to a 5 minute life span) . it appears to me that the new battery (more ampage than the original) provides no improvement whatsoever, in fact, worsened the lifespan!
If I leave my ipod switched off with the hold on, it will reset it self and then half of the battery will go away..
any reasons /??? -
My I phone 5 got very hot actually boiling hot although it was not exposed to any external heat ...it was fully charged and within 10 minutes it was half charged 50% and within one minute it was shut down ... Tried re charging through the computer and through the power but no response the phone is totally black... Tried connecting to I tunes and no response.. The thing is that I bought the I phone 5 on the 23 rd December 2012 from Manhattan new York and I live in Qatar and there is no service centre in qatar .. I am now without a phone although I paid 706$ and that's a big amount .. I am disappointed .. I bought an original phone from the original apple store and I ended up with a product that didn't survive for a month.. What quality assurance do the apple have on their products...I need help here
I appreciate the fast reply.
Well, I checked the iphone and the battery charged going from the bolt to the plug in the upper right hand corner very quickly. On my other cell phones, charging took a REAL long time.
Again, is this normal? I unplugged the iphone from the charger and I am going to monitor the battery power today. I find it odd that the battery would work on standby for 4 days without recharging the battery and then start doing something wacky. Any thoughts? -

MBP will completely reset itself when the battery dies
My MBP will completely reset itself (date, time, internet passwords, network passwords, etc..) when the battery dies. So i assume the reset is due to the lack of holding a battery charge.
Here are the stats:
Model Information:
Manufacturer: SMP
Device name: bq20z451
Pack Lot Code: 0
PCB Lot Code: 0
Firmware Version: 3
Hardware Revision: 2
Cell Revision: 100
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 155
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3240
Health Information:
Cycle count: 869
Condition: Check Battery
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 1608
Voltage (mV): 11865
<Re-Titled By Host>The symptom you describe usually occurs when the battery is disconnected. Since your Battery Hardware display indicates that your battery condition is 'Check Battery", that probably is the culprit. I would think that a new battery should solve the issue. Bring you MBP to an Apple store genius bar.

15" MBP battery holds no charge?
My C2D MBP literally holds no battery charge. If I unplug it it goes black within 10 minutes, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The laptop was purchased new in Dec 06 so it wasn't in the recall period. When the computer dies though, I press the indicator on the battery and I still get 3 or 4 lights. what's going on?
Second problem, my POS superdrive. Won't burn anything and won't read most burned cds/dvds. Something about laserpower level comes up as an error when burning. And when trying to read burned dvds they just show up as blank dvds...
Help me. I've been so frusterated between my hardware and leopard lately that i've sworn off Apple forever.My C2D MBP literally holds no battery charge.
Did the battery ever discharge completely and was left in that state for some length of time? That can permanently damage a Li-Ion battery, especially if it was older.
When the computer dies though, I press the indicator on the battery and I still get 3 or 4 lights. what's going on?
That could be due to a miscalibrated controller, but given the current state you describe, following the [calibration procedure|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284] is kind of impossible.

Apparently not, cause you're still in these forums...
