Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
For the fan running continually, first try an SMC (System Management Controller) reset:

Since you did not mention which model of MacBook you own, it's impossible to answer your battery question.
Apple still sells original-equipment batteries for most models from the Apple Store online.
Another reliable source of Mac products is OtherWorldComputing (www.macsales.com).
And some people choose to purchase batteries from what I consider to be less-reliable sources such as eBay.

  • 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 macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
    Thanks

    Hi ..
    The battery may need replacing.
    Check the battery maximum cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count
    And check the adapter >  Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

  • Gen5, 80Gb iPod battery will not charge.  States: please wait. Battery very low. ANY help?

    5gen video iPod will not charge.  Only states in LCD window: please wait.  Very Low Battery.  Can anyone help?

    That's usually a good indication that your iPod battery's is shot and in need of a replacement.  If you'd like, Apple can swap out the battery for a flat fee.

    Otherwise, you can also send it to a third party repair service center that could do the same job for a little less. Google "ipod battery replacement" for different options.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro battery will not charge after plugging in firewire cable shut down computer

    I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro with Lion installed.
    I was running off battery, and I went to plug in a firewire cable, not plugged into anything, and when I inserted it, the computer shut off.
    The computer would not turn on again without being plugged into the AC adaptor. The magsafe charger shows green, but the computer says not charging. The battery is showing 57%, but the indicator lights will only light up when AC charger is connected..
    I have let it sit off, and plugged in for a couple hours, and nothing chages, and let it sit overnight not plugged in, but nothing.
    I have read other forums about the same issue,, it seems like its a common issue, and some have said what it could be, but no one said what it IS.
    I have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but to no avail.
    When i plug in the AC adaptor, the computer immediately turns on (which I find kond of funny), and I am able to turn it off normally, and it will stay off, and I can also turn it on if the charger has been connected from pervious.

  • I have recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro and the battery will not charge

    When the magsafe adapter is connected. Has anyone else got this problem. N.B. The charging icon in the top right hand corner only displays the words (Not Charging)
    I have been told by Apple Care to try a PRAM reset and a SMC reset, but the light on the mag safe never turns amber, just stay lit green.

    Hi...
    At least try some troubleshooting before taking the Mac in...  these are very easy procedures to follow.
    Try here >  Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
    And definitely try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

  • Since I installed 10.9.3 my macbook pro battery will not charge?

    Hi,
    New to posting on here.  I installed 10.9.3 2 days ago and since then I have had an X over my battery icon.  Having checked hardware it doesn't even recognise that a battery is there.  Only works now with power lead plugged in.  The Macbook Pro is about 18 months old.  Would really appreciate any help!

    gartonashmol,
    have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

  • I just got a new macbook pro two weeks ago and sometimes it randomly shuts off even when the battery is not low. i was wondering if there is any cause to this or if i should take it back?

  • Macbook Pro will not charge.. Help

    My macbook pro got a some water spilt on it so I put a fan over it and and used rice to try to dry the moisture. The computer itself works fine everything works like it normally would except that it will not charge. It recongizes that the charger is connected to it but says it's not charging. The charger itself isn't the problem because I tried another charger and it didn't work either. Is it the battery or is it something else that doesn't work? I'm pretty despirate for help and I don't have any warrenty on it so I don't want to call Apple if I don't have to and pay $50 for them to tell me that something is wrong..

    try an smc reset see if that works here is an apple link that will explain you how to do so http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

  • My macbook pro battery will not hold charge

    My macbook pro battery will not charge. The laptop will only turn on after it has been plugged in to charge, and when unplugged it automatically dies. When plugged in the battery indicator is green and the top right corner of the screen says "Not charging". I left town for a week with the laptop off and I came back in town and it won't charge. What can I do to fix this?

    If you are under warranty call Apple and get a case number. 

  • MacBook Pro battery does not charge

    My macbook pro is dead after the battery went flat. Now the battery will not charge, the LED on the power cord remains green, and I am unable to turn on the computer. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

    When the battery is really dead there are three possibilities:
    - Reset the SMC and hope the problem went
    - Bring it to an Apple Service Provider, if it's covered under warranty
    - Buy a new battery
    All if it is the battery, and not something else with the power adapter or the MacBook Pro itself.

    My MacBook (10.5.8) is very slow and has significant problems loading will Snow Leopard (10.6.3) help or make my computer slower?
    Also why does my Macbook make so much noise (The noise concerns me because it is so loud it sounds like the laptop will break down or something at any point)?

    It depends on your Macbook model how to open the bottom case.
    Anyway you need to open up the buttom case or keyboard panel to access the CPU fan like following.
