Problem Macbook Retina (13"): Battery shows 100%

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (10.8.5), I've bought it about a year ago. Yesterday I was using my Macbook (Word, Safari), without a charger, and everything was pretty normal. When I started my Macbook this morning, I noticed something strange.
The battery sign shows 100% all the time (right corner, between Bluetooth sign and Airport sign), because I worked yesterday evening with it, it was supposed to be 67% or so. While the sign shows 100%, my hours are lowing down. Also the battery won't charge: The charger's colour is yellow instead of amber en it says "The battery is fully recharged.".
In "About My Mac" it says my battery isn't fully loaded, if I use the charger it says it's loading the battery. The only problem seems to be that the battery shows 100%, it blocks the computer to charge my battery or to see the correct 'life hours' of my battery.
I updated, restarted,  shut down, ... But nothing helped. I also did a little search on the internet, but I didn't find a decent solution (I tried different things).
I don't know what the problem could be, less than 12 hours ago everything was working fine.
Can anyone help?
Hopefully the problem is clear, I speak Dutch so I had to translate the problem. I don't know if all the words are correct.

  • MacBook Retina drains battery quickly!!!!! And I have no apps open, and the ram is 5GB out 8GB

    My MacBook Retina drains battery drains too quickly!!!!  And I have no apps open after restart, but there's still 5 GB ram the out 8GB Ram.. no idea what's happening. I uninstalled Chrome and other applications that I don't use anymore.
    Help please. Thanks in advance.

    - 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.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

  • Iphone 4 keeps turning off even though its battery shows 100%

    My iphone keeps turning off although the battery is 100%. I cant turn it on because it shows that my iphone does not have any battery left. When i plug it in the computer/charge it, it turns on and shows 100%. It has never happened to me before and it just randomly had this problem today. Please help.

    This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • Battery shows 100% after charge but get the 20% warnning after a few mins

    i got the new white ipod touch 64gb after charging for its 4hrs the battery was full and at 100%
    after taking it off its charge and starting a game/app after about 2 mins it showed the battery is below 20% so i quit the game and opened my battery pro app and it shows the battery is 96% but when i start the game again the battery shows th 20% but when looking at the battery at the top its showing its full white

    Apple recommends the you periodically fully (almost fully) discharge and fullycharge the battery to calibrate the battery meter.  I would try that.

  • Battery showing 100% charge, but not running off battery

    I have an Hp Pavilion 10 Touchsmart that shows a 100% battery charge, but will not run off the battery when I unplug the AC adaptor.   I have tried calibrating the battery which went okay. I have tried uninstalling the microsoft driver for the battery and reinstalling it and it did not fix the problem.I have also checked the "Battery Report" using the cmd prompt. The battery report showed everything was charging good with the battery on the laptop for many days.I checked the "Energy Report" using the cmd prompt. The energy report had some warnings, but it was all relating to energy use.I have owned this little computer for less than a year and it should not be giving me this much trouble. At this point, I think I have done everything I can do on my end especially since I cannot remove the battery without disassembling the laptop.  I do not think it is a bad battery unless it is defective because the computer sees very little use and it is less than a year old so I am thinking a software problem. Any additional suggestions?

    It is my understanding Hp warranty is only 90 days which means it is not under warranty. I have owned the laptop for less than a year with it shipped by Hp on "Thur 9/18/2014 5:15 pm". I orginally thought it was not under warranty, but I just tried a Hp warranty status site and it said "2015-10-23" was the warranty expire date.

  • HT1476 My battery shows 100% than 5 min later it says 30% why does my iPhone 5 not stay charged for a long time

    My iPhone 5 will not stay charged it says it's 100% charged then 5 min later it says I have 30% battery life please help

    Off-brand cables and chargers are often a source of problems with iOS devices...always use genuine Apple cables and chargers as they meet the specs for the device.
    The best solution at this point would be to take the iPone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have all tested to see if there are faults in the components.

  • Macbook Retina bad battery?

    I restarted the computer. I don't have a single app open, and the brightness is jsut over half. Yet, I only get 5:30 of battery life, when I start using the internet, it drops to like 3:30.   /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

    There's nothing wrong with the battery. Your MBP simply seems to use quite a lot of power. Try to find out what's causing that with Activity Monitor: How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If that doesn't solve it, try the four steps in this topic: Guide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage

  • Battery problem MacBook Pro 13" 2012???

    Hello everybody!!
    I just bought the Macbook Pro 13" Intel Core i5 Non-Retina exactly one week ago. I downloaded coconutBattery 2.8. It says my current battery capacity already dropped down from 5770 mAh (the design capacity) to 5308 mAh. That's 462 mAh in one week. That makes that my battery capacity drowned from 100% to 92% in one week. Is that normal or should I go back to the Apple Premium Reseller?

    Not normal - after almost nine months (OK, so I've only had it eight months but my MBP was manufactured in the first week of February) here's what cocoanut Battery shows me:
    99% current capacity. Take it back to your reseller and have them run diagnostics on the battery - you shouldn't be at 92% in a week's time.

  • HT4060 Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%.  All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged informatio

    Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%.  All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

    I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
    I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

    At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

  • Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal?

    Can Apple replace my macbook pro (mid 2012) retina's battery if I think that the battery health has gone bad/in need of and renewal???
    I've had my Macbook for about 11 months now and i use it every day; its gone though about 420 cycles of charging and using the power, and i noticed the battrey preformance has decreased (as expected). The problem isn't sevear yet but it would comfort me knowing that i could replace the battery in the near future
    Please contact me or answer the question if you know anything about this!

    No only if they think under warranty/AppleCare, but your likely able to pay for a new battery if they have them, which they might not yet since it's such a new machine still.
    BTW, I have a Early 2011 17" MBP, 27 months old, charges to 97% and has only 14 cycles.

  • Would Anker pro work as external battery for Macbook retina ?

    Would Anker Pro 20000 mah work as an external battery for Macbook retina ? I saw a few other options like hyper juice and energizer but I'm looking for something under $100 and preferably portable.

  • My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery

    My iPad 3 always shows 100% battery and suddenly it gets off post complete discharge.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Battery shows allways 100%

    Hi,
    After upgrading to Leopard i am having some difficulties with the power management of my MacBook. The Battery Life as displayed in the menu bar always shows 100% until the battery is drained and the MacBook shuts down. When i plug in the AC connector the Battery won't load until i reset the PMU of my MacBook. But after loading the Battery it always says "100%" and "10:00 remaining". What can i do?
    Thanks,
    sven
