Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.

Can anyone help ?
please?

WHow long have you left it to charge? Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Is it possible to disable the low battery warning?

Hi,
Is it possible to disable the low battery warning that I get at 20% and 10% power remaining on the iPod Touch? I find it annoying that I get the low power messages when I am in the middle of playing a game.
Thanks

I don't think you can disable it. It'd probably be more annoying to have your iPod die while you're making progress in a game though, just a thought.

My 3GS turned off with a low battery, and now will not turn on

I have charged it fully, tried hard restarting, tried plugging it into my computer, tried pressing the home button while plugging it into the computer etc.
My question is really about how to contact apple in regards to getting it fixed. This is a replacement phone and it did not come with a warranty (or more accurately, I was too late to renew the old warranty when I got it). However if it had come with a warranty, it would have been within the warranty period (8 months). To me this gives an implied warranty on workmanship and parts. I live in regional Australia which makes going into my local apple store a little difficult, and I don't want to have to pay for tech support for them to tell me that I should try restarting it.
End rant.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4S turns off close to low battery.

My IPhone 4S will be showing around 10% battery life remaining but will shut down before it's depleated. Is anyone else having this problem? What did you do to fix it?
Thanks

There are 50+ pages in a discussion of this issue in another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310494?start=0&tstart=0
There are a number of useful suggestions among the many rants and conspiracy theories about the battery issue.

My macbook pro running snow leopard updated a while ago, and now the low battery warning just pops up every 10 seconds even after I click ok, unless I plug it in. HELP!

Does anyone else have an issue of their macbook over warning? I like getting a warning when I'm at like 15%, 10% 5% and 1%. But the warning shouldnt be coming back the second after I click ok. It is extremely annoying!

Centro - Any way to change the Low Battery Warning criteria?

My wife always lets her phone die because she doesn't realize it's going down. Per the manual she gets an audible warning at 5%. Is there any way to change that to get the audible warning sooner?
Thanks,
--Mike

Nope, unfortunately there is no way to modify that particular setting. You might want to look into possibly getting an extended battery if she is in the need of having it substain a longer battery life.

Sleep without low battery warning

Hey all,
My MBP 17" - 3weeks old- has twice in the past 48 hours gone to sleep straight without any low battery warning. It has made numerous beeps while just going to sleep but wakes normally.
Suggestions?

If you haven't already, make sure to calibrate the battery, following the exact instructions in the manual or on Apple's article on calibrating the battery. (Make sure to scroll to the bottom for the MacBook Pro instructions.)

IPod Touch: Can I change the percentage of battery remaining for the low battery notification?

See question above...thanks!

Thanks, lllaass. I re-read my question and just want to make sure what I'm asking is clear. I'd like to make the Low Battery warning appear at 10% charge left instead of 20%. Unless someone has other input, I'll assume it can't be done.
Thanks again.

MacBook shuts down after low battery warning

Hi,
up until recently my macbook's battery has been working just fine. but then lately i noticed that a few minutes after it displays the low battery warning it shuts down by itself.
before, when the low battery warning would display i could still continue working on my macbook for several minutes until it goes to sleep -- only then would i connect it to the power cord.
unlike the other posts (concerning batteries) that i've read, i have no problems turning my macbook on/off before or after this event has occured. neither does it shut itself down when the battery is halfway. my problem really only happens after the low battery warning has been displayed.
i wanted to calibrate my battery but then that would require my macbook to go to sleep once it reaches a battery level of less than 5%-10% -- mine just shuts down completely.
is this shutting down thing a substitution mechanism to save the laptop's memory -- instead of going to sleep, it'd just shut down?? how can i fix this?
thanks in advance for the help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) 512MB, 2GHz Intel Core Duo

For what it is worth, I now have the same issue. Only I don't even see the low battery warning, it gets to 15% or 10% and bang, no power. This is not good, by the way and is bound to corrupt something in the system as OSX requires some house keeping when you shut down the computer properly. This instant off is not a proper shut down. I took my MacBook in and they wouldnt simply replace the battery, they want to keep the computer and give it back to me in a few days. I rely on this puter for work 5 days a week, so I was trying to avoid this.
Oh well I guess a trip to the Apple store is unavoidable.

Zen Micro Photo Low Battery Warning With Fully Charged Batt

I have two of these players and both batteries work fine and indicate fully charged in one of the players. Neither battery works in the other player. No power at all with either of them. If I connect the player to a computer all I get is the creative splash screen followed by the Low Battery Warning with the yeild sign, nothing else. If I turn the player off then it reverts to no power at all. What is going on, anybody know?
Thanks

What was the resolution. I am having the exact problem.

Disable low battery warning?

Is there a way to disable the low battery warning that pops up at 20% remaining? I turned off Notifications, but that didn't stop the low battery notifications.
I usually have up to two hours to go when the battery is 20%, and dismissing this warning every 10 minutes gets annoying. Plus, there is a battery level indicator on the screen at all times, and it turns red when 20% is reached. So really, this pop-up warning serves no purpose at all. It reminds me of Windows, tbh.

Hello MikeC2010,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
At this time no.
