Replace battery soon

I have a MBP 15" and have got the Replace Battery soon warning. The battery doesn't last very long, I came across the Battery Firmware 1.3 which I have never done but it doesn't work under 10.6.3.
Battery Information:

Do I need the the battery firmware 1.3 update?
If I replace the battery do I go for Li-on or Li-Pl replacement battery?

Hi Hitch,
Your battery is down to about 73% of its original total capacity. The "standard" recommendation with Lithium batteries is to replace them when they fall below about 80% of of original capacity, after which their behaviour can become unpredictable , with increased possibility of sudden shutdowns without warning in high demand situations, etc., because of increase internal resistance.
Some batteries hold up well below this sort of figure, though (albeit with reduced charge life) and , as long as you don't mind having to recharge more frequently , can continue to be used without too much threat of data loss from sudden shutdowns for quite a while. Others become temperamental pretty much immediately.
If the computer isn't suddenly shutting down without warning when faced with any high power demand when running on battery, and you don't mind the reduced run time on any given charge, then will probably be able to keep on using it for a while. If not, or if it starts shutting down suddenly when running on battery, then you obviously need to get a new one.
There is a fair amount of confusion out there about the "Lithium Ion" / "Lithium Polymer" battery issue. The reality is that ALL batteries made for the MBPs and MBs are actually Lithium Polymer versions of Lithium Ion batteries, though some actually simply say "Lithium Ion" on the casing. see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3668. (the same actually also applies to the alu powerbooks)
Cheers

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon. How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge? Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
Check your power status
From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
Copy and Paste in your reply.
The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
Long term storage (6 months):
Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

My macbook air(2009) model is saying replace battery soon

do i need to send it to apple to get it fixed with a new battery or can i do it all my self (if so how can i do it and how much will it cost to replace and buy the battery)
thanks a lot

You can do it yourself fairly easily or send it to Apple.
There are several sites to buy the battery, here's one for $109 us

Also there are instructional videos to show you how:

I have a MBP 15" from late 2007, right before the unibody. The battery has just entered "Replace Battery Now" state after several months in "Replace Battery Soon". Where can I purchase a replacement battery?

Everything on Amazon gets terrible reviews, and I'll bet they are in the same state already. The machine still runs great, so I don't need to replace it for what I need. Appreciate any direction on this.

Where do I buy a replacement battery for a MacBookPro6,2

After 1504 cycles, the "Replace Soon" warning has shown up on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I am 100% capable of replacing the battery myself, however I can't find anywhere on Apple's website to buy the replacement battery. All it says is to bring it in for them to replace which is not an option for me at this time.
Does anyone have a SPECIFIC recommendation on where to buy a GENUINE replacement battery for my model? And please don't say "ebay" or "amazon".
Here are the specs on my model: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP582

Apple insists on installing the batteries in unibody MBP's them selves and will NOT sell you the battery otherwise. Your alternative is to make an appointment or ship the MBP to them.
Yes, it is easy to install the battery. I have taken mine out a couple of times.
Ciao.
I'm looking for a non-Apple, non-ebay, non-amazon source for the battery. My Macbook Pro is in use 12+ hours per day for school and work so sending it in for a replacement is also not an option. So strange how it's impossible to find this battery for sale from an online retailer. Macmall, OWC, MacConnection, PowerMax, SmallDog... nobody sells them. :-(

U300s replacement battery

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out where I can buy a new battery for my u300s. Normal wear has brought the life down a bit and I want to replace it soon. I was able to find a hardware maintenance guide, so I know it's possible for me to open up the computer and replace it myself. I don't know the battery part number, or where to buy ideapad batteries.
thanks.

Need a replacement battery

Hello,
I have a macbook unibody aluminum from late 2008. My battery is in a poor state, lasts about an hour and a half tops and is in a "replace soon" condition. I was wondering where I could purchase a replacement battery and how much that would cost me. I seem to have trouble to find these spare parts.
I would be thankful to anyone who is willing to guide me. I am not sure yet if I am willing to replace the battery, it will strongly depend on the prices.
Thank you,
Esujko

If you want to replace your battery you can get one fairly cheap on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1280&_sacat=0&_od kw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1278&_sop=12&_osacat=0
Or for $129 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB771LL/A/rechargeable-battery-13-inch-macbook -aluminum
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
Removing the battery:
Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
Turn the computer over.
Locate the access door latch.
Push down to release the latch, this sets it in the open position, and remove the access door that covers the battery.
With the latch still in its open position, gently pull up on the battery tab to remove the battery.
Note: The latch must be in its released, open position to remove or replace the battery and access door.
Installing the battery:
To replace the battery, make sure the latch is in its open position.
Hold the battery at an angle and slide the lipped edge of the battery below the brackets on the outside edge of the battery bay. Gently press the battery down.
To replace the access door:
Line the access door up with the bottom case and the tabs in the battery bay.
Lower the access door into place.
Make sure it is level with the bottom case of your MacBook.
Press the latch into place, so it is in the closed position.

Need instructions for replacing battery

Hey, all.
The "Replace Battery" light is lit on my ONT, and it is (of course) doing that annoying beeping noise.
Since the only way to permanently stop the beeping is to disconnect the battery, I'd like to do that. Unfortunately, none of the instructions I've seen online, or gotten from Verizon customer service, have applied to my specific ONT model.
I have a Motorola ONT1000GJ2 (Yes, GJ, not GT, I've checked repeatedly). I *think* the battery is in the upper section of the housing, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get to it.
If anyone has achieved this blessed state of affairs of actually getting to this battery, could you be so kind as to fill me in on how?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am providing my own answer to this question, as the community didn't come up with an answer, and Verizon customer "service" (and I use the term extremely loosely in this regard) was the exact opposite of helpful.
Looking at the picture above, on the far right-hand side, there are two recessed hex-screws, one above the other. To access the battery compartment on this particular model, leave the lower screw tightened, and loosen the upper screw. Don't worry about it falling out: I'm pretty sure it's a "captive" screw, and so cannot be fully removed.
Once you have the screw loosened, pull outward on the upper right corner of the box. You may have to lift up at the same time, if it hangs up on you. (In order to lift up on it, put a finger or thumb in the screw's recess, and push upward). Continue to jiggle and pull, and eventually the stupid thing will come open. Once you've got it open, removing the battery and then the battery clips is the same as in the videos they've provided: Pull back the tabs to slip the battery out, and then wiggle the connectors off the battery posts.
WARNING: The battery is several pounds in weight, and the wires are not all that long. If you have to stretch to get to your unit like I do (mine is mounted above my washer/dryer), you will benefit from a helper, so they can hold the battery while you remove the battery connectors. I know I struggled a bit trying to do it alone.
Thanks to those who attempted to help me. I hope this is able to help someone else in the future.
Oh, and one more piece of info: Verizon "customer service" will repeatedly tell you the only official way to make the unit stop beeping is to replace the defective battery with a new one. They have to utter the word "official", because otherwise, you can accuse them (accurately) of lying. The unit will stop beeping as soon as you disconnect the old battery. They, of course, want you to spend $30+ buying a new battery from them, so they will not tell you this. If, like me, you have no desire to replace the battery, rest assured, the unit will stop annoying you once you've got the old battery out of it. The "Replace Battery" light will remain on, but the audible warnings will end.

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

The replacement battery for Ipod nano true or false

I was tryin to figure out if it was true that you can't replace your battery in an Ipod nano unless you have good sodering skills or unless you send it in and replace it. Because I bought a third party replacement battery for my Ipod Nano, and it gave me the instructions to the normal Ipod. Then I saw a lot of discussion posts saying that you can replace the battery for an Ipod Nano, so I need to know if you can or can't.

It is possible...
If you Google search for it, you can probably find instructions (with pictures) on how to do it. Basically, you need to use something (such as a tiny flathead screwdriver or a putty knife) to separate the plastic front case from the aluminum back case. Then, you can disconnect the battery that's inside of it and connect your new battery. Most third party iPod batteries recommend charging it completely before first use.
It is, however, easier to send your iPod in for service for a battery issue, and just have them replace your iPod for you.
http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
To my knowledge, you don't need any exceptional soldering skills. I've replaced batteries in some older iPods, and needed nothing but a tiny flathead screwdriver that I use to do general maintenance on my saxophone.

Replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)

replacement battery for dv6113us? part #432306-001*(6cell) or 446506-001(6cell) or 432307-001(12cell)
I am trying to order the correct battery replacement - and that information is not on the bottom of the computer or on the lithium ion battery. I have determined the original replacement part, but when I order that part number*, it doesn't give me a place to enter quantity and does list the alternative part number. I am also wondering if I can substitute a 12 cell battery (from the model to battery listings match list).
[(VE06) EV088AA 432306-001/446506-001(6cell)] vs [(VE12) EV089AA 432307-001(12cell)]

I got a replacement battery, reset the SMC, and my computer will still turn off unexpectedly.

Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, 2ghz iz, C0*****F8V.
My original battery wore down to the point where it would not be recognized as available and the computer couldn't power on without shutting down in a few minutes. I ordered a replacement battery, certified Apple genuine, but after 3 days it reached about half charge and the computer died, not turning back on without the adapter. When it did reboot the battery was at 0% and not charging, and the computer was incredibly slow and laggy.
I refunded and returned this battery and got a new one. I've had it installed about 2 days and the computer will still turn off if not plugged in at about 80-85%. I have reset my SMC multiple times and my PRAM as well. coconutBattery says nothing is wrong with the battery.
What can I do? I'm a freelance video editor and this is basically calling me out sick from work for a week now.
Thanks!

Do these codes refer strictly to the battery, or to possibly other components that interact with it?
I can not give you a definitive answer to that. The 'x's' which I have marked should be letters. If so, could you provide them and that may give us a clue:
If that is actually what was generated by the AHT, then I am a bit surprised.
At any rate, the bottom line is that the MBP does not like your battery even though the output information that you provided does not indicate anything adverse. An Apple battery should correct your problem, I would think, but there is an alternative that I came across yesterday that you might consider. OWC. a Mac oriented vendor, is now selling replacement batteries for MBPs.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/BAP15MBU78W/
Based on the reputation of the company, I personally would be willing to try their non-Apple branded replacement. I have dealt with them a fair amount, so my statement is from experience. Note that is has a 1 year guarantee as do the Apple batteries. ( I will need a replacement for my 2010 MBP and I will probably purchase it from them)
Ciao.
