Received Battery Replacement for New Hi-Res Powerbook

But it's the OLD 2-3 hour type with the old serial number format.
By the way, the guy who set up the return on the phone told me that all the new batteries are bad and they are going to have to replace them. So , this attempt to use new 5-hour batteries has failed. What the ****, Apple. This the second revision of the 15' with battery recalls.
I'm selling this and getting a 17"

Which serial numbers are new and which are old?
The apple store gave me a replacement battery off the retail shelf. It's serial# is 3K5301CFT7AA. Model A1078.
It has lasted about 2 hours from a full charge when new... which is very bad. Now that it's 2 days old, its holding a 1h 20 min charge.
If this is a 5 hour battery, then clearly they are all bad. If this is an old battery, then the powerbook itself is having problems.

  • Where do i get an original battery replacement for iPhone4 in India?

    just wanted to know where can i get a genuine apple oem battery replacement for iPhone4 in India???

    Take the device to an authorized repair facitility or Apple store (if there are any in India) and pay them to replace the battery.  The device is not designed to be user servicable in any way.  Apple does not sell parts.

    Yeah, first my thought was also that... that's why I've gone to Apple and they already switched the phone twice!!!
    Last time was yesterday... I posted this here because I came from Apple and with a new iPhone 5, although I didn't restore anything from iCloud, I hadn't even logged in to iCloud / AppStore, and without any event on the lockscreen my iPhone 5 was already "locked" on the unlock screen... after a mere 45m after I used it without a single App!! Just a couple of SMS / 1 or 2 calls... I'm going to Apple again on monday, but tried to post here to see if this has happened before to anyone with 3 new iPhones!!!

  • Why is apple repairs so expensive when i can get the ipodtouch battery replaced for $9.99 at digiexpress????

    I paid $150 for a replacement ipod which died in a month. Apple wanted
    Another $150 but i went to digiexpress and they replaced the battery for $9.99!
    Whats up with apple??

    You should have had a 90-day warranty on the replacement iPod, so if it indeed failed in a month, Apple should have replaced it. Did they refuse, and if so what reason did they give? Or did you wait until after 90 days to contact them?
    As to the replacement price, Apple charges only US $79 for battery replacement on an iPod touch, not $150. Who quoted you $150?

  • My battery condition is replace soon? I still have applecare. Can I get my battery replaced for free?

    This is what my system profiler says.
      Charge Information:
      Charge remaining (mAh):          4029
      Fully charged:          No
      Charging:          Yes
      Full charge capacity (mAh):          4145
      Health Information:
      Cycle count:          1051
      Condition:          Replace Soon
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          558
      Voltage (mV):          12567
    The charge doesn't last nearly as long as it used to. Can I get a battery replacement?

    As a rule Apple will not replace the battery after the first year as the battery is considered a consumable item.
    Also you have over the rated cycle count so the battery is Used Up, Consumed.
    Now it all depends on what G bar you take it to and what G person you talk to but don't get your hopes up that you will have it changed for free. More then likely it Will Not be changed for free.

  • Macbook Pro 1,1 Battery Replacement for cheap

    Hi, does anyone know where they could find a replacement battery for the Macbook Pro 1,1 15 in for me. Its the late 2006 model. Thanks!
    Jjizzle

    No, batteries are consumables, and are not covered for three years even if you have AppleCare. If a battery is defective, the defect will nearly always show up during the first year and need to be addressed then. Defective batteries are dealt with by Apple on a case-by-case basis, considering their ages, cycle counts, charge capacities and any physical deformations. As I wrote above, it's extremely unlikely that a three-year-old battery will be replaced for free, AppleCare or no.

  • Battery replacement for Satellite NB10T-A-103

    Hello to all,
    Is there any battery replacement (compatible maybe?) with higher capacity (>2100mAh) for the satellite nb10t-a-103 laptop? the original battery works only for 2 hours.
    Thanks.

    I also have a Satellite NB10-A-103 and the battery has gone through a lot of charge/discharge cycles so the autonomy is starting to suffer.
    I've been trawling the web looking for a replacement battery and they simply don't seem to exist :S I've tried everything from the Toshiba site to Ebay and Amazon - plenty of replacement batteries for any model of Toshiba laptop you care to name except the NB10...
    Anyone got a lead on where to get one? Or any clue as to why they appear to be unobtainable?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hard Drive Replacement for 400MHZ G4 Titanium PowerBook

    Hi All I am waiting for my Powerbook G4 400mhz to be shipped and would like to upgrade the hard drive but I am not too sure what type to get. Can anyone help me with this please? Should I be looking for a IDE/ATA/PATA 2.5" Drive and what's the maximum size?
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOSHIBA-SEAGATE-WD-60GB-IDE-PATA-2-5-LAPTOP-HARD-DRIVEW0QQitemZ320500044277QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_HardDrives_RL?hash=item4a9f 4a91f5#ht_2804wt940
    Will any of the two listed below be compatible:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/80GB-2-5-IDE-ATA-PATA-2-5-LAPTOP-HARD-DRIVE-HDDW0QQitemZ220569881484QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_HardDrives_RL?hash=item335a fd4b8c#ht_3744wt940

    Personally, I wouldn't buy a refurbished hard drive, as it means it has had issues already. A new drive isn't that expensive, and you're going to trust your data to it. But that's me ....
    You want a 2.5" parallel ATA hard drive. They are sometimes known as IDE, PATA, ATA, ATA-5 and are all the same. What you DON'T want is a serial ATA or SATA drive, which has a different connector and won't fit. For speed, get 5400 rpm, which is the industry standard now, which will be quicker than the original hard drive in your Powerbook. Max size is 320GB in a Western Digital drive.
