New Battery Replacement Refuses to Charge

I just installed a new battery in my MacBook Pro 15". It's around 2-3 years old. It's been working great, holds a charge, recharges fully, etc. I tried to charge it today after using it in classes, but it won't charge. The first indicator light is flashing, the adapter light is orange, the percentage says 92%.

"I just installed a new battery in my MacBook Pro 15"."
Did you calibrate the battery afterwards? It's recommended that you do so.

    Bring it in for service.  Anytime hardware test detects an error, that's an indication the service department needs to fix it.

  • How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

  • HT3215 new battery is not holding charge

    I just got a new battery and click wheel in ipod nano 5th gen and its going dead in lees than 2 hours? Please help with this problem as I can't afford another new battery replacement!

    Did you replace the battery yourself? If not, I would return it to whomever did the replacement and explain to them what is going on. Make sure these used the correct battery replacement.

  • New battery replacement?

    Is it true that apple will replace the battery on your mac as long as you bring it in before the 300th charge? My mac is relatively new, but I'm just thinking ahead about how to take care of it. Also, how much does a new battery typically run? This is my first mac.
    Thank you!

    Assuming you posted in the correct spot, your computer has the non-removable battery which is quite new. In the old days (just about 2 years ago) we'd have said a battery would typically last 18-24 months depending on how you used it. 300 charge cycles would be a good rule of thumb. These new batteries are supposed to late quite a bit longer and since they've only been in use for about 2 years there's not enough data to know.
    In general you should not keep it plugged in all the time nor should you let the battery totally discharge. My rule of thumb is to shut the computer down if I know I won't be using it in the next 48 hours. If I haven't taken it off the charger for 3 days running I use it on battery until I've taken it just under a 50% charge. And once every 2 months I perform a calibration. My MBP is 18 months old with just under 100 cycles on the battery and I'm still able to go 5+ hours on battery.

  • New Battery does NOT hold Charge

    I just received my new battery from the Battery Exchange Program - the battery is actually worse than my original, it is still HOT, and holds a charge for about 20 minutes - maybe 30 at the most - ?
    What do I do? Does anyone else have this problem??
    thanks, Mark

    My replacement battery did not even last one calibration cycle, as it never held a charge again at all.
    Here is a link to another thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=678318&tstart=0
    Both of ours were replaced for a very similar issue, so it may be worth a try to give AppleCare a call.
    If you already sent the recalled battery back, get a case I.D. from AppleCare for the defective replacement battery. If possible, ask someone at your local Apple store if they have any in stock instead of waiting for Apple to expidite one to you. Apple retail staff are able to expidite the exchage at the store level, but you must have a case I.D., since it is not the recalled battery they are replacing. I only suggest this route, because there is an estimated four to six week wait for replacement replacement batteries; however, it only took a little over three weeks for mine to ship.
    I hope this reply helps provide some direction!

  • New Mag Adapter, New Battery, Still Won't Charge

    Last weekend I purchased a new 85w power supply and a new battery at the Apple Store for my 17-month old MacBook Pro. The battery will not charge (though it is recognized), and the green light on the charger will not illuminate. I'm pretty confident that the power supply is not the issue, as the one I replaced was only 4 months old (because the green light did not illuminate, oh well..).
    I've tried:
    - Reseating the battery
    - Resetting the SMC
    - Installing MacBook Pro Battery Update 1.2
    - Resetting the PRAM
    Desperately seeking any other tips and tricks!
    Much thanks -

  • [SOLVED] Almost-new battery occasionally fails to charge

    Sometimes my three-month-old Vizio CT14-A4 fails to charge and misreports charge level.  Specifically, my adapter LED blinks, acpi gives
    Battery 0: Unknown, 98%
    and then the battery proceeds to last for, say, one hour when I expect four.  I know the battery isn't dying because usually it does hold and dispense a full charge (and it's quite new).  I haven't figured out how to reproduce the problem yet, but it's happened a few times this month.  Removing and putting back in the charger plug doesn't help.  My naive gut guess is the battery is somehow overcharging when the laptop spends too long plugged in.  I'm looking for a solution that does not involve removing the battery (which I haven't tried yet but will at next opportunity, for troubleshooting's sake).
    Here's my current acpi -V, now that I've plugged in following a complete discharge and all is normal:
    Battery 0: Charging, 58%, 00:53:40 until charged
    Battery 0: design capacity 6970 mAh, last full capacity 6949 mAh = 99%
    Adapter 0: on-line
    Thermal 0: ok, 56.0 degrees C
    Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 100.0 degrees C
    Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 110.0 degrees C
    Thermal 0: trip point 2 switches to mode active at temperature 60.0 degrees C
    Cooling 0: x86_pkg_temp no state information available
    Cooling 1: LCD 4 of 10
    Cooling 2: Fan 1 of 1
    Cooling 3: intel_powerclamp no state information available
    Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 3
    Cooling 5: Processor 0 of 3
    Cooling 6: Processor 0 of 3
    Cooling 7: Processor 0 of 3
    For reference, this issue resembles old threads.  Any suggestions?
    Edit: Looks like it was a battery problem, not a Linux problem.  When I called the manufacturer they immediately told me to hard-reset the battery with a paper clip, which worked (though I have to do it again every month or so).  Marking solved.

    It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
    If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
    My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.

  • Brand new battery replaced in Genius Bar much worst than old one ?

    Hi. Few days ago my iphone 5 turned off and I was not able to turn it on. So yesterday I went to Genius Bar and they said it was battery and change my battery for new one. As my iphone was 2 months out of warranty I paid 79$ + tax. And it looks for me new battery is much worse.. It takes so long to charge it and it drains so fast.. I charged it to 100 % at 10 pm last night, used it maybe for 5 mins just to check email  and that type of things. I Turned off all the apps. And I had it on wifi. By 3 am it was on 18 %.. I wonder did they give me worse battery ? Im so annoyed..

    Not much we can do here. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Please can anyone tell me how to stop my 4s iPhone running down on the battery (despite fitting a brand new battery) and not holding charge for more than half a day - will the new update cure this problem?

    My iPhone 4s will not hold a battery charge longer than half a day even if charged all night. I am now updating to 8.1.3 - does anyone know if this will make any difference?

    Thank you for your help - I had the battery replaced in a phone shop in Bournemouth and think I need to take my phone in and ask them to check the battery but I have to have an operation on Thursday this week and may be a couple of weeks before I get chance to take the phone in - thank you for your helpful advice which I very much appreciate.

  • New battery won't hold charge after short usage

     Hello everyone
        I recently purchased a used HP nc6230 computer without a hard drive or battery. After putting a new battery and a hard drive into it I charged the battery installed the OS, windows XP pro, and used the system a few days and it worked fine. I followed the guidelines of the battery manufacturer to burn in or sync the battery pack without incident. Now a week later I turned the system on and it loaded windows, stayed on for about 2 minutes and then shut off. I hooked the charger to the system to charge the battery and the indicator light did not come on to show the battery was charging. I left it connected for about 20 minutes and tried to turn it on again with no success. Could this just be a defective battery or is there a problem withe this particular model computer? Any ideas? Thanks. 

    You just have an older battery that has limited runtime. Losing 32% in 30 minutes indicates you might get maybe 1:20 runtime which is about normal for a 2 or 3 year old battery. I suspect what happened before is that the battery completely discharged which is not really good for it and sometimes causes the whole system to lock up. If it ever happens again, remove the battery and do the hard reset before plugging in the AC adapter. I suspect you just need a new battery. Where did you get this battery? It may be "new" in the sense that it was never previously installed in a laptop but batteries for that laptop might be as much as 4-5 years old and they do lose power and capability just sitting on a shelf.

  • My new aspire v5 refuses to charge the battery. was working fine this afternoon, now down to 1/3 :(

    the little green light is lit on the charging transformer.  but the battery won't charge.  thoughts?thanks,--Pete

    Pete_M,
    Does the battery light come on when the system is powered off? If so, it might be a bad charging adapter. Send me a PM with the following information and I'll see what I can do for you:
    SNID or serial number
    contact name
    contact number
    contact email
    shipping address

  • Suggestions for new battery replacement for 1st gen Ipod?

    Hello all,
    I recently acquired my brother's 1st gen Ipod mini. I love the thing. As with others, I think I'm having troubles with battery life. I have played songs on it for around 2 hours today. At 1.5 hours of playtime, the battery life indicator was nearly empty (NOTE: I have read this article: http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm and I understand the "lying" battery life indicator). A half hour after this, the unit shut itself off: the battery's charge had been depleted.
    I have been looking at ebay and there is one company selling a battery for under 10 dollars with shipping. They seem to be fairly reputable, claiming to be a top supplier of Ipod products and that the batteries it sells are superior to the ones that originally came with the 1st gen mini Ipods. They claim the batteries they are selling are " Internal Li-Polymer Apple Mini iPod Battery
    - 600 mAh (High Capacity)
    - 3.7 V "
    I have ALSO seen a replacement battery for the Ipod mini claiming the following:
    " Voltage: 3.7V 550mAh "
    Yet another claims:
    ...our battery which is made and tested to the highest international standard gives you a capacity of 650 mAh which is 50% more than the original Apple battery. The original Apple iPod part number is EC003. This is a brand new high-quality generic (non-OEM) battery."
    My question is has anyone replaced the battery on their 1st gen mini Ipod? What voltage and mAh readings should I get for the battery I buy?
    -Phillip

    Anyone correct me if i'm wrong here but AFAIK:
    Ok, the main thing to look for is the 3.7v rating. the mAh refers to milli-Amp hours, i.e. the amount of charge the battery can hold, not the current it outputs.
    As long as it's 3.7v, it's cool. And the bigger the mAh, the better.
    Good luck in your replacement.

  • Z3 Battery died, refusing to charge, no LED light???

    Hey guys, i'm simply wondering if anyone else has had this issue (or to make others aware of this.) 
    Tonight was very stressful, so i'll try and make it easy to read through.
    - using my phone in the car, charging via my Sony Bluetooth Radio (built in to my car)
    - battery was decreasing faster than charging and the phone ran out of battery and turned off
    - tried to plug it into mains but no red light to verify charging
    - used another charger and still no red light to verify charging
    - tried to turn on. nothing. tried to reset. nothing.
    - checked chargers with friends phone and chargers were working fine
    - tried to charge the phone with a PC USB. PC verified something had been plugged in but said they couldn't verify and there was a problem.
    - left the phone for about an hour.
    - when returned to the phone the red out-of-battery light was blinking when I tried to press the power button.
    - went to my car and tried to charge it via the sony bluetooth radio
    - lights turned off and phone returned to unresponsive state
    - got home about 40 minutes later and red lights are on
    - charged it via AC adapter at home, left it for a bit, now charging normally.
    For a while i thought my phone was completely busted and I was so angry as I've just had a replacement. can anyone else verify that this is a thing? before lollipop if the phone ran out of battery it would just start to charge.. I wouldn't have to wait an hour for it to become responsive again?! just making sure this isnt a fault.
    thanks!

  • HT6154 New Battery replaced for iphone4, got a diagnostic and its NOT the battery it drains horrible by itself, i barely use my phone. HELP im about to erase everything to figure out the prob!

    Drains really bad, i've tried everything like deleting apps, turning off stuff, turning off notifications, downloaded the app battery monitor etc nothing is working.

    Unless Apple replaced your battery, and it appears they didn't, you're pretty much on your own now. Have you tried going back to whoever replaced your battery? That's gonna be your only choice now, because if a third-party replaced your battery, Apple won't touch your phone now.
