New battery loses charge after calibrate it
Hi everybody,
I bought a Macbook Pro last saturday and accordingt to istat, in the beginning the battery health was 98%. I have calibrated it and the result has changed from 98% to 97%. What can I do? I am very worried...
Apart from this I am very excited with my first mac
thanks!
the batteries will lose a few of the small cells in side (some batteries are better than spec some are below but still end up being with in the tolerances)
check in system profiler and see what the max charge is, or you can get coconut battery (free ware) to check and record your max battery charge. the "spec" from factory should be max charge of 5500 mha(or what ever the measurement is), IIRC the bottom end of spec is 4400 (which should be 80%). as long as it doesnt drop below 4400 or 80% before you hit 300 cycles it is fine. but supposedly the battery warranty is only one year even with apple care (i thought that was not the case but thats what i was told the other day from a product specialist).
if before the year is up your battery is giving you issues call apple but a few % are not a huge issue (my battery with 12 cycles is at 95%

Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while
My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
Update: fixed typoI've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
What does this code (REOOW) mean? -
i got my iphone 5c from like 4 month ago and the last two days the battery lose charge from 100% to 80% while 30 minut without even using it
First you need to back up you iPhone.

My new battery wont charge at all...???
I just replaced my battery in my Macbook Pro because my old battery wouldnt hold a charge. My new battery wont charge at all...??? Could it be the adapter? The green light is on.
Have you reset the SMC?

I have an iphone that has stopped charging. I have purchased a new battery and charger for it but it is still not charging. Does anyone know how i can fix this?
That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service. -

Like the topic says, have an macbook pro 15 late 2008 works like a charm.
Have had a bad battery for over a year so today i bought a new one, plugged it in
and started my mac, said charging and stood on 0% for about 10 mins then the adapter
turned green and the battery didnt show up on my mac anymore, tried and SMC or whats
it called, same thing happened again
downloaded cocnut battery and there it just said when i was charging that the
battery was -1 amh?
isnt new battery supposed to be delieverd with 50% on them?
What can be the problem here? is it the AC adapter?
helpful for anytips, a very poor student so cant have it on a serviceHi iphone_warrior,
thanks for the reply and for your support. However, I did not understand why I as customer should go to the next Apple store nor why I should pay 29,- Euros for the replacement.
I give you an example. I have an HP printer. Was not working any more after 2 month. HP send me a new printer and took back the old without any charge.
Apple knows that it is a problem with the phone battery. Why the customer should pay for that. The customer has warranty, the customer paid the product. Apple has to care about the customer. It seems that Apple cares more about to increase its profit and leave the support its customers. Anyhow, if this the only way I have to invest the time and will go for the Apple store. I hope the buggy phone will be replaced by one which is working properly. Otherwise I will go for the offer from Samsung which won't be a good advertisement for Apple at all.
Best regards, Harun99
I wonder why this threat has been taken from the discussion forum. Is that the way Apple is working with the feedback from its customers. Very dissapointing. -
Macbook Pro battery not charging after getting new charger
Dog ate through my Macbook pro's charger, so I went to the apple store and bought a new charger. The big one, that states it is for Macbook Pros. 85w, I think?
Anyway. The Pro runs on the charger, but its battery is not charging.
I suppose it is possible the battery just up and died, but that would be a heck of a coincidence that it happened the moment I got a new adapter.
Do all adapters labelled for macbook pros charge all macbook pro batteries?I had recently the same issue : my battery didn't want to charge anymore. I bought a new charger. Same problem. The battery didn't want to charge (a message near the battery icon at top right of the screen : "battery is not charging").
I tried the SMC thing. Ever the same problem.
I checked I got the latest firmware for my MacBook Pro Unibody mid-2009 (with the non-removable battery). I got it.
My battery was less than 2 years old and got only 138 cycles.
And the green light on the charger was not so shining as usual.
Before going to an Apple Store, I just tried to clean my MacBook Pro power connecter.
And... It works !
The Power connector was just dirty.
Now my battery is charging again. -
I have just installed a new Battery after the old one showed (Not Charging) and when you clicked on this icon the dropdown"condition replace now". Problem now is the computer still shows the same message in the top bar (Not Charging) and the dropdown also shows "condition relace now". the magsafe show the greem LED i.e not charging, but providing power. If you disconnect the magsafe the computer powers off instantly confirming we have power. I have carried out resetting the SMC controller and still no change. Tested the standby voltage on the magsafe pins etc, all in spec. What should I do now, as I don't want to keep spending more and more. Bellow is the info from the system profiler.

DV4170US - new battery not charging
My first battery had progressively shorter battery life, so I replaced it with an after-market battery. That worked for over a year. Then, it wouldn't charge. I was able to use the laptop with the charger attached, but the battery would not charge. I bought another after-market battery. This worked for a few weeks only, then would not charge.
I've tried removing the battery, booting the laptop with charger attached, shutting down, reinstalling the battery - the "charging" (lightning bolt) indicator lights up for a second ro two then goes off. I also tried booting the laptop then installing the battery with it on - same result.
I also tried the HP battery assessment utility - it indicated that the battery could not be analyzed or something to that effect.
FWIW, the battery and fan exhaust have always been very hot on this machine.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. This is still a really good laptop with plenty of life left in it.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Bostonc,
Thanks so much for your post! I am definitely sorry that you are having these continued issues with the battery on your notebook.
After updating bios and running the battery check, unfortunately there isn't much that can be done in the way of troubleshooting.
I definitely suggest purchasing your next battery from HP, if only so you receive the 1 yr or 300 cycle warranty with the battery. If it happens to a new HP battery during the warranty time, I would definitely check further with the notebook. Without any other symptoms, I wouldn't necessarily assume that the issue is beyond just the battery.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not HP.

Why would new battery not charge?
I have an iPhone 5 with a 1 year history of good behavior. I recently transferred my Sony-manufactured battery (date code=08/2014) to my daughter's iPhone 5 so that she could make an outbound airplane flight with a functioning phone.
There was evidence that daughter's battery had died, not been subjected to a bad or uncertified charger. It would not charge on my known good chargers. Her Lightning port was not full of lint. After I transferred my good battery to her phone, her phone worked fine and she was on her way.
I discarded her suspect battery and installed a new one in my phone. Acquired from a well known supplier of batteries, t was a Sony-manufactured battery with a date code nearly identical to mine. My phone booted up fine and showed 45% cell charge. As the hours passed, the state of charge gauge indicated showed a battery of normal endurance.
However, at the end of the day this new battery will not accept a charge in my phone.
I am using the same known good chargers that I used previously. I am an experienced iPhone disassembler. My Lightning port is not "linted-up". I admit that Apple's fine-pitch PCB connectors are a challenge even for experienced disassemblers but I believe that this battery transplant went OK.
Any ideas?
If I did, in fact, damage the battery connector during transplant, wouldn't the phone have squawked error messages before refusing to charge. There were no error messages or hints that the battery transplant had problems.jimolson wrote:

So, to clarify, you've opened up the iPhone, and replaced the battery yourself?
Are you an Apple Authorized Service Technician?
Apple doe snot supply batteries to third-parties. Any iPhone battery you acquired is either:
A) Counterfeit
B) Stolen
C) Salvaged from another unit.
Additionally, unless you are an AAST and were using an Apple-supplied battery, your device warranty and support is permanently voided. -
Older macbook, new battery, short charge
I have an older macbook (Model: MacBook 4,1... search this to get the full specs). I replaced the battery after a year or two and it held NO charge any longer and the computer had to be plugged in to work. Now, with a new battery, it claims to be fully charged (much too quickly might I add),and then the battery only lasts about 30min. until it dies. I have done all updates recently and the battery was replaced by a certified tech. It is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Im out of Ideas, any suggestions?
Here are two Apple support articles that you may find to be informative and useful regarding your MBP battery:

Satellite A70 new battery wont charge
I finally bought a replacement battery for my very old laptop as the original one that came with it has done its life after 5 yrs of loyal service. Anyway the strange thing is when I first put the new battery in with my laptop turned off the battery indicator on the front turned green in about 2 hours but when I tried to boot my laptop up on the new battery it got a short way past the Toshiba screen and then died.
So with my laptop still turned off I plugged it back in and sure enough the indicator light glowed amber again.
I left it for a good 5 hours to juice up but since nothing changed after this time I turned the laptop back on to see how far I'd gotten.
The Toshiba Power Management Utility told me that the battery was at 98% so I left the laptop on for a while and it eventually went into standby mode. i left it this way for more than 24 hours but after this time I came back and the Toshiba Power Management Utility still indicated 98% charge. So I decided to see if it would work without the AC adaptor as 98% charge is close enough to full but upon removing the AC adaptor my laptop died.
I thought there might be a problem with the AC in port on my laptop as this is a common problem with the A70 and A75 but I ruled that out when I found it still able to charge my old battery. This also rulled out a problem the laptop itself as it still works fine off the old battery, only for 2 hours of word processing though.
Just to be sure I've had the battery in the laptop on charge for days now and no change. It still wont boot up from the new battery and it still says 98% charge. Is it a bad battery, a problem with communications between the microprocessor in the battery and my laptop or is it a problem with Toshiba's power management utility?I figured as much but was wondering if there was some technical issue with the laptop's software preventing it from using the new battery properly. I was kinda hoping this would be the case. There is a slight difference between the 2 batteries, my original is 6450mAh and the new one is 6600mAh. But everywhere I have looked, the replacement battery for part No. PA3383U-1BAS is 6600mAh instead of 6450mAh so I don't suppose this would pose a problem. I guess I'll have to claim my warrenty for my battery but I still have to fork out P&H costs and I haven't got that kinda money at the moment.
Since it almost booted up when it was first in my laptop I guess the issue lies with the batteries abbility to be recharged or the microprocessor in the battery is so far out of calibration it can't be recharged. Either way it's not something I can fix. Thank goodness for warrenties, all ways get extended warrenties I say, seriously, sometimes I think companies design things to break like clockwork. -
I just got a new battery in the mail today and it wont charge!! theres a battery icon with a red X through it . help!
Amy TiceHi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully that "new" and "known good" are not necessarily the same...while rare, a new battery can certainly be defective. Further, only by finding someone else with an identical BB with no issues can you actually trade batteries and narrow down if the problem is the battery or your BB.
Good luck and let us know!

If the battery is new, and does not charge, perhaps you need a SMC and/or PRAM reset, perhaps this helps. If not, the trouble may lie elsewhere.
