New Battery on MacBook Pro 17 inch

Hi,
I am not sure if I should buy the new MacBook Pro 17" due to the battery. What really happens after 5 (five) years? Do I have to buy a new one Macbook? or Should I buy the one that has a replaceable battery?
Thank U

Bring it into an Apple Store or maybe an authorized service provider. The cost of the battery replacement service will be the same as the replacement batteries for older Apple portables. It's $179 (US) for the 17".

HT3053 How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery. It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
Good luck and enjoy your macbook

How long is the Battery your Macbook Pro 15 Inch (2011)

I might get a Macbook Pro 15 Inch 2011 with the 256GB SSD and the High Resolution Screen!
How much Battery Life would I get?
1) Going on the Internet
2) Running Skype
3) Playing Flight Simulator
4) Running Word
OR just list how long your battery is on your Macbook Pro!
Thanks!!!
(Will the higher resolution display affect my battery life)?

I was saying all of those combined on the newest MBP
if you're just worried about word, depending on the version, it might not even run on the computer.
And surprising as it may be, web browsing, depending on how you browse and what plug-ins you have installed, can be a very intensive task that takes up CPU and memory.
I found a very good discussion specifically about your issue but the site is riddled with ads so just google "MBP battery life 2011" without the quotes for further information. (it's very vast)
Long story short, bring your power brick with you if you take your computer out. There are also extra battery options that are said to help you charge your computer however, the magsafe power adapter is Apple propietary hardware that no one is able to make unless it's an Apple branded product so these batteries usually have a three prong plug (depending on where you're from) to pluginto with your power brick.

Upgrade Ram, HD to SDD and New Battery for Macbook pro 2010 i7 15". (with price).

Hi, i want to upgrade my Ram, Hard Disk and Battery of Macbook pro 2010 Model with i7 processor and 15" display.
My current configuration:

Hard Disk: 500 GB (250 GB full)

New configuration I want:
Ram: 8 Gb best of all (what to do with the previous 2GB + 2GB Ram)
SSD:Minimum 128 Gb ( what to do with previous 500 GB

I ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.
Crucial m4 512GB SSD - from Amazon - $389.99.
Crucial m4 256GB SSD - from Amazon - $203.84.
Crucial m4 128GB SSD - from Amazon - $112.87.

What to do with your old RAM? Just trash it or label it and put it in an anti-static bag and put it in your 'parts' drawer. Or trash it. Or give it away. It's not worth anything.
Good luck,
Clinton

Installed New Battery in MacBook Pro--Computer Freezes Twice

Since my MacBook Pro was way past it's warranty, I decided to replace it's depleted battery myself. It wasn't rocket science and it was much cheaper than taking it into Apple and having them fix it for me as I had done so twice in the past (when I was covered under warranty). After I went through the process of removing the depleted battery and replacing it with the new one I got, I ran simple specs on my computer and the battery. The battery is certified new (arrived to me half charged on its first cycle) and matches my MackBook Pro's requirement model and my all of my computer's hardware is functioning as it should. However, since the installation of the new battery, my Mac has froze twice for no apparent reason. The first time it froze was while I was working online (Chrome) with no other applications open. The second time it froze I was running a video via my Mac's storage (file did not exceed 600MB) and nothing else. When it froze the second time, I turned off my Mac and ran the comprehensive hardware check and came up with nothing. I also checked the battery's physical appearance and there's no swelling, leaking, damages to the casing or to the connective wires that run from the battery. So my question is: Could the freezing be due to an undamaged battery that might be a low quality battery, or some other issue?
***My MacBook Pro hasn't had a freezing episode in over a year and it is always kept cool.

**Update**
I had another freeze episode just now from picking up my computer...perhaps something is loose internally. Will be re-checking everything and posting results.

New battery in Macbook Pro - louder fan.

Hardware Overview:
Model Identifier: MacBookPro 8.1 (2011)
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
I had a dead battery in my MacBook Pro replaced two days ago and since using my Mac with the replacement, whether on charge or not, the fans are a lot louder when watching videos or playing games than with the old battery/when the battery was dead.
Is it due to the new battery, the installation or do I need to reset something that I've missed? Thanks.

Have you tried reset the System Management Controller (SMC)?

New Battery Installation - Macbook Pro Won't Boot Up

Hi All
I have a 2008 MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.4Ghz, 4GB Ram, Running OSX Lion. Bought a new battery at the Apple Store on Regent Street today, came home and inserted it into my Macbook Pro. The laptop won't start up at all. I have a light on the front and the device turns off if I hold down the power button but doesn't restart other than the light when the power button is pressed again.
Went onto the forums, tried taking the battery out and holding down the power key for 5 seconds to rest the SMC, no luck. Tried Command, Control, Power button, no luck. Have meetings tomorrow with all my data and notes on the machine, it is backed up on a time capsule but am desparate to access tonight. If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful,
Regards
Tim

You will have to restore them to another Mac, TM is not my specialty so I will let another poster take you down that road.
Good luck

Buy new battery for MacBook Pro Mid 2010, and in-store installation?

I need to buy a new battery for my MacBook Pro Mid 2010. I was wondering if there was an Apple store where I can buy a new one and have it installed there. i tried Best Buy and they weren't really any help and suggested to go to an Apple store. However, I don't know if I could have them install right there.

its best to make an appointment at your local Apple store. If they are busy and you walk in without an appointment, they will turn you away.

Ask your question.new battery 4 macbook pro 15in....not charging

my new battery is not charging.??... i can only used my "lab top"with help of the power adapter....ANY /HELP ,so i can stop plug in ...mac probook 15in...THANKS

I installed the new one, the MacBook did not recognize it. I thought it needed to charge, but the green light on the power cord came on, so I didn't think that was the problem. In the status bar, the battery shows up with an X in it, and no percentage will display.

Is it possible to use a new battery for a MBP 15" in a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008) ?

i have an old MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008) and my battery is as close to dead as it can be. I was wondering if I could replace it for a new battery that works for the latest models.

No, that's a 60 watt. You need an 85 watt.

I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch. I ran coconut battery test and it says age of the macbook is 22 weeks. And the battery load cycles shows 4 and battery capacity is 96%. Is this all normal? Does anyone have same issues?

I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch 6 days ago. I ran coconut battery test and it says age of the macbook is 22 weeks. It shows 4 battery load cycles and battery capacity is 96%. Is this all normal? Does anyone have same issues?

"Is this all normal?"
Yes.
"Does anyone have same issues?"
What issues?
Coconut indicates an approximate battery capacity, and 96% is excellent. During testing and run-in, the MBP is charged and discharged, and a cycle count of 4 is appropriate.

MacBook Pro ~ 13 inch Intel Core i5 Battery is not charging and it is plugged in

Hi Everyone!
I bought this MacBook Pro 13 inch, Intel Core i5 in June 2011 and it is Early 2011 model and today I am charging my battery and it plugged in and it wont charge. I have had it where the screen goes black and the plug wont show a light and it wont charge. The condition of the battery is Replace Soon. I dont know what it is.
Please Help. Thank you!

'Replace Battery" means you need a new battery.
Take it to the Apple store as soon as possible.
Mac is in limited warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
If the battery is found to be defective, it will be replaced free while Mac is in warranty.
Take the Mac to the Apple store.

Why has the battery prematurely died on my brand new (2013 model) MacBook Pro?

Purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 15 inch only two weeks ago. Only for it to have suddenly shut itself off today. Mavericks now tells me the battery needs replacing and isn't charging. The MacBook will obviously only now work when plugged into a power supply, and the moment you remove the Magsafe adapter it shuts off. I do have an appointment to have it looked at on Monday next week, but has anyone else come across this, and know of any fixes I can do at home that don't involve me destroying my warranty?

This shows you how to reset the system management controller. It's a reset that resolves many power-based issues like the issue you're having. Good Luck!

I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.
