Replaced Battery But NEW Battery still going dead fast

On May 28 2010, I put a NEW battery in my 2007 MacBook Pro3.1 and now this new NEW battery is not holding charge. I charge to 100% and leave off overnight (8 hrs), but still it only runs on battery for about 1.5 hrs before I have to plug in to recharge. Any suggestions? Here is the Power/battery info:

There is nothing in those numbers to suggest a problem. Did you make sure to calibrate your battery properly? When you say you leave it "off" overnight, are you leaving it plugged in or unplugging? There is no reason not to unplug it while it's sleeping or powered off.
Also, what are you doing while running on battery power? Dim the screen, turn off things like Bluetooth and Airport (if you can), avoid graphics-heavy activities like gaming and videos--these drain your battery much more quickly.
24 cycles is a fair amount for just one month, almost one a day. To make your battery last longer, use it less often and stay on AC power when it's available.

Brand new battery in 4s and still goes dead in 1 hour!?

Tried all the suggestions on the support site, took the phone to the Apple store, they put in a new battery. I charged it to 100% and then unplugged it. This morning after it was asleep all night, I find it drained this morning.

sounds like a brand new defect battery
or you are playing crazy highe demanding 3g games while using the gps and 3g connection to their fullests

I calibrated my battery but the battery capacity hasn't increased.

I calibrated my battery but the battery capacity hasn't increased. My computer's battery life is still at 1 hour 30 minutes when others have gotten upwards of two hours. What do I do?

Calibrating the battery does not alter its capacity, it just allows the MacBook system software to be more accurate in telling you how long you have left before the battery is exhausted.
So… Is there a discrepancy between the time-remaining estimate shown in the battery / power menu? When you allowed the battery to drain as part of the calibration process, did you check how many lights lit on the battery itself at the time of exhaustion? In general, how many lights on the battery are lit when the Mac believes the battery is exhausted? How many when it believes it is fully charged? Lastly, use the System Profiler ( → About This Mac → More Info…) and check to see what is the stated battery capactiy, in mAh (milli-amp-hours). The nominal capacity is 5500. (As a reference point, my system has been within 10 or 20 mAh of this value ever since I got it.)
If all those things are consistent, then your battery really has diminished capacity and you should replace it, or get Apple to replace it for you.
On the other hand, if the battery's capacity is normal (close to the nominal 5500 mAh), then probably the way you're using the MacBook just is just very draining of battery power.

HT6154 Hello my iPhone 5 keeps going dead fast after 100 % charged.

Hello my iPhone 5 keeps going dead fast after 100 % charged.

I did that, and the issue persisted. I'm several hours from an Apple store, and I can't be without a phone for that long. Not to mention they want $269 to fix it, and I only paid $399 for it.

My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing when the battery is only 45%.it goes dead then says the phone is dead,but when I plug in the charger it turns on instantly and the battery is 45%.please help someone!

My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing at 45%!when my iPhone nears 45% from a full charge it suddenly says the phone is 20% then 10% then 1% and then it goes dead.when I plug in the charger instead of waitin a few minutes for it to turn on,it instantly turns on and says the battery is 45%!this is OK at home where I can keep the charger plugged in but what about when im on the go?PLEASE HELP!!!

This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

I've bought a new charger and a new battery but my laptop still won't charger?!

This laptop is about three years old. It started not taking the charge less than a year ago so I bought a new charger (Reltrak) charger. That did not seem to solve the problem and eventually it still would not charger. I then assumed the battery must have simply died so I bought a new battery. It took the charge for a day but now it will not charge. I do not know what could be the problem. The laptop is good. It runs great when it's actually charger. Do you think it could be an internal problem? Any ideas?

Battery Exchange Programme- but new Battery is not arriving

Hi,
two weeks ago I typed in my serial and battery number in the support website and found that my battery is eligible for the Battery Exchange Programme. After that I received an email saying that it takes 3-5 days to ship the new battery. Up to now it did not yet arrive.
Does anybody know whom I can contact in this case? Is there any Mail address I can use? I would appreciate your help a lot.
Regards
Stefan

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I think the problem is that Apple does not ship overseas. I'm not sure what to do to get one shipped to India. But you can write Apple at:
Apple Inc.
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
It may be possible to get one through an Apple authorized retailer or repair service if there is one in your area. Hopefully you will be able to find out by writing.
Good luck!

Battery Recall / New Battery is horrible!!!

I signed up for the battery recall for the MacBook Pro 15" and received the replacement battery the next day. The old battery would give me a charge for about 2.5 - 3 hours. On a full charge the new battery only gives me about 1:17 average. What can I do about this?
The only difference is that I upped the RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB.

Interesting to read so many mentions of problems with battery serial numbers.
According to Apple my fairly new MBP is entitled to a new battery as the Bat serial number ends with 75B.
When I fill in the on-line form I am told that my battery serial number is either in error or does not need replacement.
Does this mean that some batteries ending in 75B (and the others mentioned by Apple) do not need replacing.
My MPB has a battery life of only about 2 hours - which is about the same as my Xp laptop I have cursed for so long.
My former ivory iBook had a useful battery life of over 5 hours so what we now gain in speed and hype we lose in lap time.
Anyone else had similar probs?

Videos freezing but the sound still goes on?

Any video except Youtube videos freezes/stops moving the frames as it's paused at some random point but the sound and the timer/slider/scrubbing tool/bar still goes on with the sound.
Please help!
It happens at random times, random sites and browsers. Also it happens in random places in videos too. Usually at the very first seconds though.
1-) I have tried different browsers,
2-) Tried other sites,
3-) Other resolutions and varietys of videos,
4-) Flash Player (Puffin and Photon),
5-) Resetting my internet settings,
6-) Power off and on my ipad,
7-) Googling this problem.
Steps of the problem:
1-) Can watch the first seconds/minutes perfectly.
2-) When I try to slide forward it automatically stops/freezes the visual/frames but the sound and the time still goes on.
3-) It happens when I don't slide forward too.

Hi,
Is it a Plug-n-Play or Plug-n-Pray headphones ? Have you installed its driver ? Can you see it in Device Manager ? If Yes and Yes you have to disable the internal speaker and enable the headphones using the speaker icon at the bottom right (Playback devices).
Regards.

My gmail got hacked - password changed and plea for money went to all in my address book. Mostly fixed, but new e-mail goes to Trash instead of Inbox.

Sounds like your issue is between gmail and charter. Thunderbird would have no part in this operation.

New Battery but, it's still frozen...

I'm at the library so, I can't try any of your suggestions until tomorrow.
The battery on my 2006 Macbook died so, I got a new one and a person at the apple store put it in. My computer has worked fine until last night when it froze. I can turn it on and it boots up but, once I get to the main screen and I try to click on anything it won't start up. I force quit the finder and that worked once but, it doesn't work anymore. I put the computer to sleep that made the computer at least highlight the things that I wanted to use but, it still doesn't work when I try to click on them. I keep having to shut my computer down using the force quit way. This was happening before I got the battery replaced.

I went to the apple store today and found of the it was the trackpad that was the problem. I got it fixed right there and for free.

U330 Battery Issue--New Battery, Still Discharging Fast

Wrote a month or so ago about a faulty U330 battery. I replaced it with a new one and am having the same issue--rapid discharge. For example, the battery power goes from 100% to 95% within 3 mintues, from 95% to 73% within 15 minutes. With the original battery, I noticed that its power could stay at 0% for quite some time before the computer shut down. The battery lasts a decently long time, but the real issue is that I pretty much have spontaneous shutdowns since I can't predict the actual power remaining. Could this be a Win 7 issue and not an issue with the battery's actual capacity? Any other suggestions on how to fix this?

Hey Gurbly,
Curious to know is the replacement battery that you bought is it from Lenovo or is it a generic brand battery ?
If this is a Lenovo battery, might I suggest the following link :
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/Welcome-FAQs-Knowledge-Base/How-can-I-increase-battery-life/ta-p/244800
If the above does not help, could you try the following.
1. Replacement Battery to be drained.
2. Replacement Battery to be fully charge. During this time do not turn on the U330
3. Once fully charge, turn on computer and login to your operating system. Do not launch any application and if possible disable any apps that auto starts.
4. Change the power management to "do not turn off hard drive and monitor" when battery is used
5. Adjust screen brightness to 50%
6. Leave the laptop idle,
7. Check within 3-5 minutes if the battery level drops from 100% to 95%
8. record your finding and reply back.

My laptop battery life is horrible. Ive researched a bit and it seems like everyone with the same laptop as me is having the exact same sort of problem. I got the laptop in the fall of 2010. Im looking on the hpshopping.ca site and im not finding any other replacement parts for this laptop. And i am young and i do not have a job yet so i am unable to buy a brand new laptop. So does anybody else know where i could buy a new replacement battery for my laptop? Thanks!

Hi:
According to the service manual for your notebook at the link below you have the choice of 2 batteries.
Please see chapter 3, page 3-8, item 16. Part # 593554-001 would give you more time between charges.

You can order either one at the link below.
