New Battery from iPodjuice

Hello guys,
I just bought and installed a new battery from ipodjuice, i charged it for about 4 hours at work until the battery status bar stops moving, I had to go home so i unplugged the power and went home.
After I got home and plugged the ac adapter back in again, the battery seems to recharge again. Its been almost 3 hours and the battery status bar shows it's still charging, is this normal?
Thanks!

I have the same experience, I managed to solve it by doing couple of Reset, recharged with the ac charger overnight, did a reset and recharging for few attempts

  • Should I buy a new battery from a third party vendor?

    Hello,
    I am totally new to this portion of support and to the world of laptops so please bear with me for a moment. I don't think I need a new battery yet but I did some research on-line and the general consensus seems to be that Apple and batteries don't mix. Should I go with a 3rd party battery? I want to have a spare in case I need it.
    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    If you don't need a spare battery now, there is little reason to get one. LiIon batteries deteriorate a small amount whether you use it or not, so the common wisdom goes. You can buy replacements online overnight if you have no store nearby, so I see little reason to have spares on hand unless absolutely critical. I would have no problem with Apple or Newertech Nupower batteries myself, but even they can go bad at variable times. A 6 month (Apple, I think) or 1 year warranty (Newertech) is about all you can expect. I would question others, especially ones that are too cheap. Counterfeits are very easy to make.

  • New battery from Apple is now dead...

    A little while back I had some trouble with the battery that came with my black MacBook. I attempted to calibrate the battery per the instructions posted by Apple. After my computer shut down due to low power, I let it sit for a few hours (Apple recommends "5 hours or more"). The calibration information can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284
    When I plugged in my battery charger, the light on the cable stayed green and did not turn orange, as it normally does when charging the battery. After booting my computer, I noticed a black "X" where my battery life icon normally resides in my menu bar. I tried resetting the PMU and NVRAM to no avail. I tried "re-seating" the battery and nothing. I called Apple and they sent me a new battery which arrived around 11/25/06.
    This battery worked flawlessly for a while until today when I decided to calibrate it (hadn't calibrated it yet). I again let it drain and go into sleep mode on its own. I let it set for 5.5 hours after which the power cord was plugged in. The light on the cord stayed green and did not turn orange. When I booted up my computer there was 'again' a black "X" where my battery icon is. I again tried resetting the PMU and the NVRAM but again no luck. Is this normal behavior for a battery to die when drained too much or did I just happen to get two bad batteries? Prior to the calibration attempt, the battery worked like a charm. Has this happened to anyone else? Sorry, this is more of a vent than anything else but I'd be curious to hear other's expeirences with these batteries.
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Yes, this just happened to me. My daughter was watching a dvd on my MacBook and it put itself to sleep while she was watching. It then sat overnight. The next day I noticed that the MacBook came out of deep sleep when I restarted, but ever since then I have a large X and "No batteries available" showing in the menu bar. If I remove the powercord while the computer is on, it will shut off.
    I've tried resetting the SMU and the NVRAM with no success.
    This sounds to me more like a corrupted preference than a hardware failure. Reading similar threads about the problem seems to indicate that a new battery will solve the problem for awhile, but that it will soon come back. The charger light is coming on as a steady green and the computer works fine with the adapter, so I'm pretty confident that it's fine. That would leave either the battery, a software problem, or a deeper problem (many are suggesting a logic board.)
    I dread having to call Apple tech support, as I know the rigamarole they'll put me through, treating me as a second class citizen because I haven't purchased Applecare and wanting me to take it to an Apple store, which is more 2-1/2 hours away.
    BTW, this is happening with a battery that was carefully calibrated using Apple's specs, which seemed like a ridiculous PITA to begin with.

  • Got the new battery from the exchange program and.....

    It doesn't seem to be any better than the "defective" battery that it was to replace. I mean, I can sit here and watch the indicator literally inch it's way down. Did I forget to rub the magic pixie dust onto the battery before I installed it?
    What's up with this?
    ~B

    Hi all,
    I got my MBP last week. For the first six days it was running like something off a shovel and as sleek as the next mans. On day six I calibrated the battery according to the correct procedure (off a PDF from Apple).
    Now ever since I did this, it has being doing these similar problems to what other have described here. It could be sitting comfortably, for example, at 53% and then BOOM, the screen is black and its died on me. I can't believe its a week old and I am having such fundamental problems as this. Not even two weeks old. How can this be resolved...in fact, CAN IT BE RESOLVED???

  • 3rd generation ipod, new battery question

    I have a 3rd gen ipod that has been having major trouble holding a charge. I just ordered and installed a new battery from ipodjuice.com. All was well until I took it off the wall charger for the first time. Although the display said it was fully charged, I only had a half-charge on the upper left corner once it was disconnected from the charger. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is something wrong with the ipod itself...is it possible the factory battery wasn't the problem in the first place?

  • Satellite M45-S165 New Battery won't charge past 25%

    Hello,
    This is a Satellite M45-S165 running Windows XP SP2.
    I just put in a new battery from Technuity sold at Circuit City. Followed the instructions and let it charge for 10 hours before using it. The laptop was turned off while charging.
    Turned on the laptop and Toshiba Power Saver said that the battery was only charged to 25%. It just won't let it charge any more than that.
    I shut down TPS from the task manager and opened the Windows power meter on the control panel. After running on just the battery for a while I tried to recharge it. But the windows power meter is showing that the battery is charging, but that is stuck at 3%.
    The battery is new, so any idea about what is keeping it from charging completely?
    Thanks.

    Hello
    At first I must say that you have done everything correctly and this issue is probably not because of the battery (I hope you bought the right one). The question is is there some problem with power supply electronic.
    You must understand that it is not easy to offer simply explanation to such issues and to find out what is wrong there it is necessary to run diagnostics program and check power supply electronic functionality.
    This can be done by authorized service provider only. So you must make decision what to do. Make a call and ask them what can be the reason for this. Inform you what can be done with it. What else you can do?

  • Time for a new battery (or more) for  iBook G4?

    I have a 3 1/2 year old 14" ibook G4 - I have the original battery (possible clue?) and before it became completely unresponsive to powering up, it would suddenly turn off, even with the power adapter plugged in. I've tried all the things Apple recommends - removing and reinserting the battery,resetting the PMU using the SCOP keystrokes, removing the battery while plugging in the adapter, and removing the adapter and trying to start on battery power only, and all permutations of the above. Nada. No chime, start up screen, or whirring fan...Silence.
    When the adapter is plugged into the iBook, the color is orange, even after ~ 15 hours of charging.
    Is it time for a new battery, adapter, DC in board?

    Well, the story is a little different now. At first, when I got a new battery - from OWC, when I used the ac adapter, the computer would start up, but even after 12 hours of charging, the battery indicator was at 0% charged, and after 2 or 3 cycles of turning the machine on and off, it eventually wouldn't turn on at all, even with the ac adapter plugged in. so I bought a new ac adapter, and it will turn on , but the battery indicator still says 0% charged. Just to verify if the battery was indeed not charged, I unplugged the ac adapter and the computer would not turn on at all.
    So for now, I have a laptop with a new battery and a new ac adapter that will only work if the ac adapter is plugged in, and the battery appears to not be able to charge.
    Question:
    Is it time for a new Dc-in board, just leave well enough alone and run off the adapter, get a new computer or????

  • Dead ibook.... new battery...battery on moherboard???

    I have an iBook 500 Mhz... it recently started having issues with the date and time wich i attributed to the dying battery that didn't hold the charge for long... one sad day it didn't turn on anymore.... which i attributed once again to the dead and discharged battery... so i bought a brand new battery from the apple store wich came in with half charge... so i plugged it a few hours ago to completely charge the battery before turning on the computer (as it said on the manual when the compter was brand new). So now i looked at the battery charge status and the same two leds are illuminated... seems like it is not charging.... and i tried to turn the computer on to no avail...
    any comments or suggestions...?
    does the ibook motherboard has a battery like the desktop computers? when that battery (which among other things holds the date and time) dies the computers don't turn on... could that be the case here?
    Thanks for your help...

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Does the adapter charge the battery? Does the adapter power the iBook?
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    In our experience here, if there is a problem with the dc-in board, the iBook will not run on the AC adapter, nor will the adapter charge the battery. The iBook will only run from a charged battery. If the battery charges and/or the iBook runs on the adapter, then it is likely not the dc-in board.
    The same symptoms can happen with a bad adapter (no charging, not running on the adapter).
    This doesn't sound like what is happening with yours, however.
    There is a capacitor on the logic board which maintains the date and time settings. That capacitor could be malfunctioning, or it could be a malfunctioning PMU (also a part of the logic board).

  • Where to buy a new battery

    Hello,
    Im in need of a new batter for my Macbook pro. I have a service battery icon on my battery time. Would you get a new battery from apple or is there another place that I can get it cheaper?
    Just curious where the best place would be to get a new battery? Thanks

    There is no best place to get a battery. They're all going to sell you the same thing for the same price.

  • Need Help Buying New Battery...

    Hello, after three years of consistent portable use, I believe it's time to replace my battery--- which now only gets about 15-20 minutes off a full charge.
    Obviously I'd like to avoid paying $140 for a new battery from Apple. I'd like some advice on what to look for when buying a 'new' battery from a third party (like on ebay).
    I'm using a 15" aluminum powerbook g4.
    A few things I'm concerned about.
    1. How do I know the battery was produced after the recall? One auction says this: "This battery was produced after the Apple Battery Recall The serial number is: 6N638LN4THUC." Is that legitimate? Can you tell from the serial number? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I buy a recallable battery from a third party I'm not eligible for a replacement through Apple.
    2. If the battery is un-used, i.e. "new" but has been sitting on a shelf for a year, will it's charge-life be effected? I've heard that all lith-ion batteries deteriorate whether they're in use or not.
    3. Is there anything else I should be weary of when buying a battery from a third-party?
    thanks!

    1) If the auction says it's AFTER the recall, and you don't trust them, ask the seller if they will send you a photo of the serial number. If they're a reputable/honest seller, they'll be glad to do so. Then, you can look up the serial number to confirm whether or not it falls under the recall at: [https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange>
    **if you get a recalled battery, you are allowed up to three battery replacements for your PowerBook, regardless if it's under warranty or not. You have to provide them with the serial no. of your PowerBook (for tracking purposes), and then with your machine registered, you can send up to three "bad" batteries and get three new ones in return. (So, if you buy your battery on eBay, or wherever you get it, you can do three maximum... Apple doesn't record battery serial numbers--to my knowledge--and tie them to specific PowerBooks, or owner's machines for that matter).
    2) If a battery is unused, the charge life won't necessarily be affected, depending on how long it's been on the shelf. Usually, one year won't affect it. After that, it must be charged again before re-storage. You can find out about that process here: [http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html]
    3) When buying a battery from a third party on eBay (whether it's Apple OEM or not, but compatible), make sure they have a return policy. Also check their feedback. That's usually a good sign. I don't recommend buying third-party, non Apple OEM, batteries in the first place. The only one I'd recommend is the "NuPowr" line. But if you do buy third-party batteries that aren't used and are new Mac compatible ones... kind of like how you can buy third-party batteries for you camcorder or digital camera or cell phone, but they're not made by the OEM but are still brand new ...make sure you buy it from a reputable company or, if on eBay, a reputable "Power Seller."
    And just for some info, you can read my posting here (though for 12-inch PowerBooks, gets across the same idea) for anyone looking for a battery replacement:

  • Not starting up - just got new battery

    As of right now, my computer seems to be on, since I can turn the cap lock key on and off by the light of green. But the screen is blank, and the bottom slowly gets very warm. When it gets hot I just press the power button again and let it die in peace.
    I started noticing problems yesterday when I shut my computer it would have to be turned on again, and some times it forgot my wireless password when it came back to life, or it was December, 1969.
    All these problems started after I got my new battery from apple, turns out, who knows when, my orginal battery was recalled, and la de da, there was an exchange program. I got my battery on friday, and problems started on monday.
    I got it kick started by pressing a series of buttons, alt,apple, shift and power which got it to make noises vs a little fan sound. Now the fan sound stays on for a bit as it gets warm. By recomendations of the boyfriend, it also kicks to life for T and power button, but still no screen.
    at this point, I have accepted that I have had this computer for far too long and its about time for it to die.
    SO, its on. I think, but blank screen and no start up sounds, just some wooshes and the cap lock key shows green. I get back to civilization on friday, currently in rural WI. I would like to keep it in its stupor state where it seems hopefull we can still firewall into it and collect my life.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    When you get a new battery, normally you charge it all the way, then drain it, to condition the battery. You do this once or twice. Then you're all set with the battery.
    When you think the system may be turned on, if you look real closely at the screen, can you see anything very faintly on the screen? Look carefully.
    It sounds like you may several things going on. When you get back to civilization, your best bet may be to go to the local Apple shop, and see what the Genius suggests. If he says you need a new logic board, you'll want it shipped to the Apple depot, which will cost around $350, assuming the case isn't banged up. If they replace the logic board in the store it will cost over double that.

  • Battery from Recall program

    Hi there,
    I just receive my new battery from the recall program. My preliminary usage for the battery, from charged to discharged, is around 3 hours, medium lightning, no CDs, regular usage. I thought the new batteries are suppose to last around 5 hours? Is there anyways i can check if the battery is new? I live in Indonesia currently and i am afraid that the vendor over here might switched the battery...
    Shan

    3 hours sounds about right to me. The 5 hour claim really only applies if the computer is essentially idle, screen backlight turned almost all the way down, energy saving settings at maximum - in other words, it's the maximum time the battery may last.
    I've never seen a Albook (or older TiBook) get more then 3 to 3.5 hours with normal use (example, e-mail, web browsing, word processing).
