Solution for Service Battery

Most of us are having this problem because, either we keep our macs charged for a long period of time, much longer even after the battery is fully charged; or because our battery's health has gone below 80%. This happened to me when I had OSX 10.4 and my battery's health was 20% and then I saw X on the battery sign. After doing some research, I watched a video on YouTube! on how to revive dead laptop battery and it shows that you put the dead battery in a zip lock bag and freeze it for 14-15 hours then take it out, let it get to room temperature and put the battery back in the laptop and charge discharge 3-4 cycles. Well that worked perfectly for my mac's battery and since then I have been getting almost 5 hours of battery and health back to 100%. Now 2 years later, without the SL I wouldn't have realized that my battery needed to be serviced again. Last night I got the "Service Battery" message.. I downloaded istat and it said battery health is 48%. I repeated the process, now the battery's health is at 93% not sure why not 100% but whatever, this battery was dead; now battery life has gone back to 4:xx hours and no "Service Battery" anymore. Hope this helps.

Could be the aftermarket AC charger you bought damaged the battery. Or the simple fact might be your battery needs to be changed, it has reached its End Of Life.
Why not have the battery changed by an Apple store.

  • Is there a solution for my battery?

    hi，guys and girls, i just bought a 8510p laptop a couple days ago, sadly to sya that the battery doesn't charge past 45% and then shuts down without any warning,. I am frustrated and wonder if i have got a dead battery? Any symptoms will indicator that your battery have suffer from failure? This happened spontaneously, quite literally. I received the notification from the computer when i am in the middle of working(I can't remember what exactly it said, but the computer shuts down later).
    why my laptop is acting this way? Anyone know the solution to solve this problem? any help will be greatly appreciated.
    In addition, if i got a bad battery and need a new one, where should i go to buy? Ebay is out of my consideration. my friend recommend me a website http://www.laptopbatteryselling.com/hp-compaq-business-notebook-8510p-battery-6-cell-5200m ah-11-1v.html , but i have no idea if it is trusted by us.....

    Reset network settings.  Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network settings.  You will have to log back into any Wifi network you had saved on your phone. It will also make sure you are connecting to the nearest cell tower.
    Reset phone, hold down both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and continue hold them down until the Apple logo appears on screen. 
    Reset All Settings. Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.  You won't lose any data or content, but you will have to go into settings and turn on or off anything you have previously turned on or off.
    Run the battery all the way down to the point where the phone will not turn back on.  Recharge the phone overnight using a wall charger, not a USB port on your computer.

  • 3PLS Scenario for Service Industry

    Hi All,
    How do we map SAP B1 Solutions for service Industry.
    Scenario 1.
    My client gives warehouses on rent to their customers to store their Inventory. My client provides the Labour required for that particular warehouse and transportation if required.
    Scenario 2. (3PLS) (Third Party Logistics Services)
    My client takes warehouses, Labour and Transportation on rent from Vendor and gives to customer on Rent.  Their customer stores their inventory in that warehouse.
    My doubt is that can we maintain customers inventory  at out client place. if yes, How to map the scenario.
    Regards

    Hi,
    We can have work solution for this service process mapping.
    Any work around solution in B1 there has to be financial implication on that. So we have to be very careful on defining GL Account Determination and its financial implication.
    And that will be accounted in our books of accounts.
    Here we will receive only charges out of from the services, what we have to given the service to them, for this we will do service invoice (AR Service Invoice) to account those charges.
    For Inventory Tracking what we need to do is to pass the goods receipt or goods issue document with out the item cost. Here we have to assign inventory account and inventory off set account and we need define an item for to maintain a stock and also the warehouse and Item Group which we are going to maintain a stock. All are the document involves financial implication.
    Charges should be accounted through service invoices and inventory tracking should go through goods issue and goods receipt document (Inventory Transaction in Inventory Module) .
    Please consult a Finance person before going to do that these configurations. But it is possible in B1.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • Service Battery error message for a battery that looks ok

    Hello,
    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro with model number 5,5 and after upgrading my hard drive to a WD scorpio black 750GB and also adding 8 GB of Kingston memory I get a Service Battery error message. My OS is 10.6.8. The strange is that my battery is in a fairly good condition. I did check with coconut battery and it looks ok. I also add a print screen.
    Does anyone knows how can I remove this error message ? 
    Do I have to replace my battery ?

    Service battery means replace battery as soon as possible.
    Reset SMC and see whether it changes the notification.

  • Is there a solution for the ups 3 battery?

    I'm getting so frustrated with the battery on the iPad 3! Left it into charge all night and day whilst switched off and it was 95%! Is there going to be a solution for this? Should I just send this back and get an iPad 2?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

    Try a #1 SMC Reset and see the Apple links, if that doesn't work make a appointment for a evaluation.

  • Looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database

    As the title of this discussion states, I'm looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database to be used for reporting. Creating the dynamic form is not a problem, it's getting it into a database that's more of a nuisance. A dynamic form is needed in order to provide skip logic, hide/reveal, and other similar dynamic features.
    The database hasn't been created, so just looking for the easiest, more effective and dependable solution. The key is being able to run reports off the data later.

    So i set up 2 residential grade routers to test this out. Seems to be working okayish. I believe with directional antenae routers I should achieve what I need.
    As for security I configured each device separately. I set them so only allow the MAC address of the other through wireless. This seems to be the best system for me. Once they are connected even if a MAC is spoofed of the other router it drops automatically because they are always connected. My wired devices get plugged in and recieve an IP from my main network.
    There more testing to be done, but it seems to be working.
    Thanks for your input and suggestions guys. I will be marking this topic as answered.

  • XI-Content for Solution Manager Service Desk

    Hi Experts,
    From an SAP course (SMO150) I am reading that XI-Content should be available for SAP web services.  In particular I am interested in Solution Manager Service Desk content.  (This course is on Solution Manager Service Desk).
    However when I go to look at the SAP official location for XI content I cant find anything on Solution Manager.
    For an overview of the XI content currently provided by SAP, see the SAP Developer Network (SDN) under https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn.  In the navigation area, choose SOA Middleware ® Repository-Based Modeling and Design. On the Repository-Based Modeling and Design page, choose SOA Business Content.
    Could anyone indicate where I can find Solution Manager Service Desk XI-Content? (if it exists).
    Many thanks,

  • HADR Solution for SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2014 on Azure Iaas

    Hi All
    I am required to build a HA/DR solution for SQL Server and SSAS 2014 on Azure. So far I could build AlwaysOn high availability solution for SQL Server on Azure but haven't found any solution for SSAS.
    Failover Clustering is not an option on azure because of the restriction of not been able to use shared storage. We also determined that the cost savings of using SQL + the cost of the 3rd Party replication tool was a wash (ie no real cost savings).
    Any lead on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Viral Shah
    Thanks - Viral

    Hi Viral,
    A clustered implementation of SSAS can be configured in Microsoft Azure. Such a configuration would need to meet all the requirements stated in the following document including Active Directory and storage.

  • Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage

    Battery Solutions for iPhone 5 - From 4 to 12 hours Usage
    First:
    iCloud sync is a great battery consumer
    1** iCloud: turn off mail, safari and reminders. Only keep contacts, notes, photo stream and documents data
    2** Use cellular data for iCloud documents and reading list only.
    3** Notes to save on iPhone, not on iCloud.
    4* Avoid downloading new Apps or updates if not on power. It's better to download all updates on a computer and synchronise to update them.
    5* Avoid looking at videos on line if not on power.
    6* Games consume a lot
    Second: if not enough
    7* Brightness to bring on top of the letter "t" of Brightness. Sometimes the brightness goes automatically to 75%, too high. Put it back.
    8* In mail, fetch new data, advanced, check that all accounts are fetch manual
    Third: Additional Optional tips
    9* Wifi ask to join networks off
    10* Bluetooth off when no need, turn off WiFi if in an area with no WiFi, avoid Personal Hotspot: great battery consumer.
    11* Turn off iPhone manually. Don't wait for iPhone to turn it off.
    12* Let the battery exhaust totally until it turns off before to recharge it.
    13 Kill The Apps unused from time to time, in case one application uses too much in back ground
    14 The Reset All Settings solves nothing. It just creates problems to rekey in everything.

    Just a followup:
    To summarize:  I upgraded to an iPhone 5 a few days ago and the first thing I did was restore from my iPhone 4 iCloud backup. After that I was experiencing the things some people here complain of: running hot and battery draining quickly.
    But I then reset as a new iPhone and synced in all my apps, music, photos, etc. from iTunes and now it is running cool - even after using it continually for 90 minutes or 2 hours and the battery drain is acceptably within specs.
    This screen shows
    Usage: 4 Hours, 0 Minutes
    Standby: 19 Hours, 28 Minutes
    Battery at 44%.
    That would "multiply out" to
    Usage: 7 Hours, 14 Minutes
    Standby: over 34 hours
    when the battery is fully used up.
    I believe that is pretty reasonable and within specs.
    I will try an experiment after my next full charge of turning off cellular data though (except when absolutely needed) for comparison.
    I'm not saying some people aren't having some power-draining issue due to their carrier. But even without 5 bars standing the issue for me seemed to have been the attempt to restore from my iPhone 4's iCloud backup instead of installing as a new iPhone and syncing.
