My MBP randomly shuts off at around 40-45% Battery Life

Hi:
About 2 weeks ago, my computer unexpectedly shuts off when it reaches around 40-50% battery life.
I've done all the necessary calibration tests but to no avail. I've had my MBP since 2007 along with the original battery. Is this a matter of the battery dying or are there other bugs in the MBP that I should be worried about. Here are the details when it's at 45% and likely to shut down:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4328
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1726
Amperage (mA): -2442
Voltage (mV): 10350
Cycle Count: 747

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The usual rule of thumb is that a good battery should retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 300 cycles. You have 747 cycles, and are well beyond the 300 cycle benchmark. It is no wonder that it is beginning to show signs of failure. In my opinion, it is just worn out from normal usage and it's time for a new one.
Good luck!

MBP Randomly shuts off

You may remember me from such threads as "Electonic "whine" from macbook pro when at idle." I am still waiting on a definite fix for this problem.
Recently though, my MBP has been having random waking from sleep issues. Mainly beachball and black screen or that the power had completely shut off. This is rather annoying as it causes data loss. I tried removing the second GB stick I have last night for more testing.
Today, while on battery power (with 30-40% left on the charge, verified by the lights on the battery), while using the MBP, it would just power off. So far today, I have reset the PMU twice, the PRAM once, and switched the GB sticks. I feel privelaged that it has not shut down on it's own in the last 20 minutes.
Any thoughts?
I am thinking of doing a full backup to a firewire drive, wiping the computer and starting fresh.
Thanks!

Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
"Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
"I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

MBP randomly turns off while plugged in & on battery

my MBP now randomly shuts down, at any time, regardless of the state the computer is in (at least 5 times a day) i often then have trouble actually getting it to boot, as it will shut off 7-10 times before it actually gets to the password area

many more can be found on google.
the battery was replaced under the recall.
any ideas??
Thanks,

I've had the same problem quite a while but finally found out today something useful. When I installed the iStat Pro widget, I started to wonder why the left fan showed 0 rpm. Then I also realized, that I haven't heard the bit noisy fan in a long time.
The solution was easy. I opened the cover and using pressurized air cleaned all the dust off the fans and made sure the connectors were good. Now my MBP has been running 10 hours without any problems though yesterday only it shut down several times.
So if your warranty is expired, just do the same before letting anyone sell you a new logic board or anything.

Macbook shuts off at 28-34% of battery life!

hello, im not sure what the problem is but it shuts off at 28-34% battery life.
i updated the battery stuff and it still does it. It normally tell me if the battery is low like at 7% battery life. I need help!

Just so you know, the battery is considered a "consumable" part. It's not covered by the warranty or an AppleCare Protection Plan. If resetting the SMC and calibrating don't help, they're under no obligation to replace the battery.
That is not entirely true. This is from the Apple Warranty info.
(f) to consumable parts, such as batteries,
unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship;
The problem the OP is describing is not normal. My battery was replaced under warranty and it was doing the same thing. Also in the update it is noted the battery warranty/repair coverage has been extended an extra year for core duo batteries.

Why My iPhone Shuts Off When I Still Have Battery Life Remaining?

iI'm using iPhone 5, since last week, my iPhone has kept shutting down Suddenly. Although, there is plenty of battery.
However, it happens if the battery remains less than 30%, it seems to be shutting down.
Do I need to see someone at Genius Bar sometime soon?

You might.
Also see if you're eligible for the battery replacement program: http://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery.

My 3GS iPhone randomly shuts off

My 3GS iPhone randomly shuts off or gives a low battery indicator even when the battery is not low. I tried going to the Apple store and they were not helpful saying to close out apps using the multi-task button. Even after doing that, my phone was continuing to shut down. First is was around 33%, then 54%, then 76%, then even at 97%. So I had the battery replaced with a brand-new battery.
Now not only does the phone randomly shut down saying a low battery, but it is not recognizing the charge on the battery. I had the phone on for six hours unplugged and it remained at 100% charge. Then I went to make a phone call on it and after two minutes the phone completely shut off. It would not accept a charge. I had it charge overnight. I tried using different cords. I tried plugging it into a USB port on a computer, using the wall charger, and a car charger. The phone kept saying the battery was dead. Then miraculously then phone started to work a day and a half later, but only for one phone call. Then phone died again and has not accepted a charge for two days now. You would think after two days, the NEW battery would be charged.
My phone is not under warranty. I do not have the funds to purchase a new iPhone at this time.I know there have been a lot of posts about this, but I have tried every concievable option out there and nothing is working. I'm frustrated. Is this an operating system error and can it be fixed? Or is the phone trashed? ARGH!!

So Brad, just an update...
My phone periodically works and then it doesn't. The battery percentage indictator still continues to remain at 100% charge though I know common sense would tell me that the battery percentage would be decreased if the phone sat unplugged and on all day long. When then phone does work, I try to restore it, but iTunes keeps saying that there must have been a connection failure and iTunes had to stop downloading. FYI- I have no connection issues with my Internet.
Here is the weird thing...
Sometimes the phone is still showing the dead battery page and asking me to charge the phone. So I'll plug in the phone, let it sit charging for 4 hours, 12 hours, even days at a time... and it will continue to have the battery dead screen asking me to charge the phone. So then I will unplug the phone and leave it alone. After approximately 48 hours, I'll go back to the phone and hit the Home button and miracuously the phone would turn on. It is as if the phone is confused and the battery life is being drained when it is plugged in, but then miracuously recharges itself while sitting unconnected to any cords or plugs.
This makes no sense and I cannot explain it. I have waited to respond to your initial postings because I wanted to see if I could restore the phone. In addition, I wanted to confirm I was not crazy and that the phone is actually acting opposite what it should in reference to charging vs. non-charging.
Any idea why the phone is acting backwards in regards to the battery life? Since my last post, I've only been able to actually turn on my phone 3 times, literally once a week and then it only lasts for about 12 hours before dying on me again.

My itouch 4 is a week old and is randomly shutting off even when fully charged. Should I send it back? I'm a busy new mother and don't have time to tinker around trying to reset it and shouldn't have to since it is brand new???? What do you suggest?

My brand new ipod touch i bought last week is suddenly randomly shutting off. Its fully charged. I havent upgraded to 5 yet because ive read of problems with loosing apps and ive already added many paid apps. I havent backed them up to my pc yet because im a brand new mom and very busy. Same reason im hoping i dont have to tinker around with this problem myself... Its brand new??? My camera randomly went black yesterday but is fine today but now it keeps shutting off. Should I send it back? Please help?!?!

How hard is to Reset it? A lot less hard than returning it. Just hold down the On/off and Home buttons for atleast 10 seconds until the apple apears and then wait for it to reset. If this doesn't work and you don't want to try restoring it, take it back to Apple.

About two weeks ago, it would randomly shut off. It would restart fine, but shut off sooner. Sometimes, it wouldn't even restart. Now, it's at the point where when I power it on, it rarely restarts past the white apple start-up screen. mbp mid 2012 i7

Backup in case your disk is failing.
Start up in Safe Mode; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204?viewlocale=en_US
If it boots reliably in Safe Mode then it is probably a software issue.
Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Boot in Recovery Mode. (Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.) Run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left system disk icon. Does S.M.A.R.T. report “Verified”? If not the disk is failing and will need to be replaced. Click on the icon underneath and indented to the right, usually called “Macintosh HD”. Repair Disk. It should finish normally with a green OK message. If it does not try to repair it again.
If it will not finish with the green OK message then use Disk Utility to erase the drive and then reinstall OS X. (Be sure you have a backup before erasing the disk. Post back if you need instructions on how to do that.)
If it repaired all errors and is still not booting normally, reinstall OS X.
If it is still sick after all these steps then the disk probably needs to be replaced. You can do that inexpensively and fairly easily yourself or take it to an Apple store for them to do it for you at a higher cost. If it is still under warranty or AppleCare have Apple do it for you for free. Post back if you need instructions on replacing the disk. You may want to have Apple check the health of the system and disk before replacing it yourself.

Machine randomly shuts off and then comes back on.

Hello! Basically whats happening is my computer randomly shuts off (No blue screen just powers off) and then immediately comes back on.
I am running three monitors and a single GPU. This has happened in two different cities (I moved) I have the same surge protector - however, other things on the protector do not reset / go off (alarm clock no battery).
Here are the crash dumps that microsoft said happened. (I uploaded three different ones)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/juwuzck8wpq6j0r/issues.rar
I'm a pretty avid builder but I'm a bit stumped with this issue. The machine will, at random, shut off completely (including lights) and then come back on, during normal activities and gameplay.
The temps do not appear to be reaching astronomic levels, maxing out at around 60-65c (cpu) and 45c for the GPU.
Parts:
cpu - i7 3960x (turbo enabled normal at 3.3, w/ turbo at 3.9ghz)
mobo - MSI X79A-GD45 /// Intel DX79SI (have tried both, it still happens with either, MSI is a new board.
psu - 750 Antec Gold High Current Pro
gpu - MSI Lightning 680 (no OC)
sdd - samsung 840 pro
hdd - Black 1TB
case - HAF 942-x
cooler - x40 kraken
ram - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (DDR1600)
Here's what I tried
1. Bought a new motherboard (MSI $260) to see if the issue would go away. - Failed.
2. Was able to reproduce the issue VERY quickly when using the OC Genie2 on the MSI board, with teh button pressed, I could boot up OCCT and have it reproduce the issue with the power-off in around 2 minutes of the test. - Failed
3. Attempted PSU and GPU stress test with stock BIOS, tests ran 1 hr+ each with no issues. Shut down my machine and restarted it this morning and the issue came back within 5 minutes of use just sitting at the Windows Desktop. - Failed.
4. Turned the 32 GB of ram to 1600 and enabled XMP, crashed after 3-5 days.
5. Attempting to test each DIMM individually.
6. Issue happened again after about two weeks of not happening.
I've run OCCT for an hour with the "stock" bios and it didn't crash for an entire hour. I've also attempted to use the "OC genie2" overclock function and that triggered a crash within 2 minutes of the run.
Can anyone give me some more things to try? I'm thinking its possible it could be the PSU, but after running OCCT PSU test for 30+ minutes it had no issues.

My mac book randomly shut off

I bought my mac book pro last december and everything goes well until last Tuesday. My mbp suddenly shut off by itslef when I was playing legaue of legend. This never happened before, and that was my first time. After that, my mbp keep shutting down randomly everytime when I played league of legend. Sometimes, it randomly shut off or restart by itself when I was watching a drama on an app called "pps", or even when I was maunally turned off the computer.. This problem really frustrated me becasue I spent like 3000+ dollars on this crap... I brought my mac to Apple Retail store and they told me that they have to replace a logic board in order to solve the problem. They also told me that the logic board will arrive in next 3 to 5 business days. I was like "okay". GUESS WHAT, I JUST CALLED THE APPLE STORE TODAY, AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT LOGIC BOARD WILL ARRIVE IN NEXT 6 TO 10 DAYS. WTH.. SERIOUSLY... so they just randomly delayed the date? Our coustomers spent so much money on support and buying iproducts...and... .. and .. sigh..
          So i am wondering if there is any solution/ way to fix my computer, other than waiting so long to replace my logic board. Also, I am wondering if I can replace my mbp for a new one.. since my mac has such a bad technical flaw.
So this is the most recent Console report:

So i am wondering if there is any solution/ way to fix my computer, other than waiting so long to replace my logic board.
No, there isn't.

MB Pro shuts off at around 85% battery power.

I've been using the power adapter pretty much all the time with my MBP but now that I've been using it on battery power it has automatically shut off at around 85% battery power. I haven't always had the battery in while using the charger but for the last year I have. I'm not sure if that has any relevance.

Actually, it IS within the specification +for battery health+, which is what I stated above. Apple states, +"A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles."+ This is based on the reading for Full Charge Capacity in System Profiler. BGTD's full charge capacity is 5081 mAh, and the nominal new full charge capacity of a 15" MBP battery is 5500 mAh (rounded down, the calculated value is actually 5556 mAh). Even of the OP has a 17" MBP, the battery is still within health (though barely so - the denominator for a 17" MBP battery is 6300 mAh.
So, despite having an acceptable capacity (i.e., 'health'), the OP's MBP is shutting down with only 15% of the capacity used. As I stated, that's a symptom of a faulty battery.
Furthermore, you are also incorrect when you state, +"if your MBP is over 1 year old, Apple will NOT replace your battery."+ You can certainly state that Apple did not replace your battery free of charge, and I'm sorry for that! On the other hand, my health dropped suddenly to ~60% when my MBP was 16 months old. I +do not+ have AppleCare, and despite that, the Genius Bar replaced my battery for free. The page that I linked to (the top link) states, +"This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers."+ I also pointed out that I am aware of Apple having replaced (for free) batteries of users with Core 2 Duo MBPs under the same program.
As I stated, the best bet is for the BGTD is to visit an Apple Store or call AppleCare and request a replacement battery, based on the information above. The answer may be "no," but I'd argue that it's worth a little effort to try and save US$130, given that there are known and Apple-acknowledged issues with some notebook batteries.

Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes

Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Why does my Macbook Pro keep randomly shutting off with or without the adapter?

I had this problem before that my 13-inch Macbook Pro would stop working without the plug, and then it started resetting its clock to 2000 every time i rebooted it until it eventually died altogether. I found out that my data cable was bad and got it replaced.
Now, it works completely fine except that it will randomly shut off without warning, even if it's plugged in.
I don't know if it means anything, but I'm currently using a Macbook Air adapter.
It's actually shut off while I was typing this post. Incredibly frustrating.

I think (let others bust my chops if I'm wrong) that the MBA uses a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter, whereas the MBP uses an 85W MagSafe Power Adapter. That could be causing problems.

When unplugged my MBP randomly shuts down and won't start up again

When my MBP is unplugged it randomly shuts off and won't restart. To get it to boot up again I have to plug it in.
Today I was using my computer for about 15 minutes unplugged and it just shut down by itself. I was right in the middle of typing something and it just cut out. The other weird thing is I don't get a low battery warning, nothing, it just shuts down.
Then I press the power button to restart and I get nothing. Even when I pull the battery out and put it back in nothing. I pressed the battery level button and it blinked rapidly on the lowest 2 lights. Keep in mind I was using my computer unplugged for only 15 minutes immediately after unplugging it from the wall after it had been charing for 15+ hours.
This makes no sense. Please help me.

Sounds like a bad battery and/or problem with the PMU (power management unit) and/or memory.
"Half the start up sound" is a bad sign as it means it's failing the normal start up tests (I'd guess a Memory problem)
Reset the PMU and run the Hardware tests from Install DVD1 (hold down d at startup) and see what it reports.

MBP randomly shuts down every few hours (while plugged in)

MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009
3.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Battery has been shoddy for a few years now. Only lasts about 15-30 minutes, but I just use the power cord.
Recently, the MBP (with cord plugged in) has been randomly shutting down every few hours. Immediately prior to shutting down, the status bar says the battery is fully charged, and I can unplug the cord, and there are no issues. When restart the computer, the battery will now say it's anywhere from 0-60% full.
The fact that the MBP shuts down even with the cord leads me to believe it's a logic board issue. If that's the case, what's the best option?
I figure I can either:
1. Replace just the battery and assume the healthy battery will weather any logic board lapses
2. Replace both the battery and the logic board
My local Apple Store said they could replace the logic board and battery for $300 total.
Is this necessary, and if so, is it worth buying the parts and trying to replace myself?

Yes, it's the flat-rate depot repair.
Ok, you've (mostly) answered my primary concern... I was wondering what would happen if it turns out this isn't a logic board issue, and if my $310 would go to waste. The thing is that, right now, my MBP appears to be working perfectly fine until it randomly shuts off, which can take a few hours. So, if the depot replaces the logic board + battery, the MBP appears to be working there (I can't imagine they'll test it for more than 5 minutes), the depot sends it back, and after hours of use, I still have the same issue, I'll be able to get a refund, yes?
If so, I'll probably just opt for this deal since replacement parts on eBay appear to be about the same price.
Thanks for the help!

My MBP randomly shuts off at around 40-45% Battery Life
