Tecra A9, Power connected - battery is not charged

I use a Tecra A9. It is about 3 years old now. But I seem to have a problem with battery recharging.
Connected to external power it is functioning oke. But the battery is not been recharged anymore. When removing the powercord, the laptop is running on battery power.
I removed the battery from the laptop and reinserted it. Then it is recharging for several seconds and than stops charging again. Remaining charge is at this moment at about 90%.
I also removed it and cleaned the contacts in the laptp and on the battery. But the same happened. Some seconds recharging, than it stops charging.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance for your reaction(s).
Kind regards,
Ren

>Connected to external power it is functioning oke. But the battery is not been recharged anymore. When removing the powercord, the laptop is running on battery power.
I think the problem is the battery.
Its old and cannot hold the charge anymore. So you have to replace this battery.
Check the part number of this batter.. it should be placed at the back side of the battery.
Then you can google for this part in the net to get the right battery.

MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

Battery is not charging Power source: power adapter

I am very confused by my MagSafe power adaptor.
Often I get : "Battery is not charging Power source: power adapter" with an orange LED on the adapter, Last time this happened the battery was 65% charged
Right now I have NO led on "1:33 until full. Power Source: Power adapter"
Sometimes, I get a dim green LED
Each of these becomes normal on removing and reseating the adapter.
The spring loaded pins are perfectly sprung and are clean. The receiving bit of the laptop is clean. The adapter clicks in perfectly. The battery is new enough (and this happened when the battery was replaced anyway, and beforehand).
This happened since I got a new style adapter, the one where the cable is parallel to the Macbook, not the one where it sticks out at 90 degrees. I have two of these, and it happens with both.

I let the battery drop to 71% and connected the cable. Orange LED.
Now we are at 87%, just clicked up to 88% with No LED showing.
0:52 until full (was 0:58 when it said 87%)
Power source: Power Adapter
I have done all the checks in the link you gave me, done them to the letter. Pins look good, receptor looks good. My lead is the L shaped one. The adapter is the 60W one
89% now, 0:49 until full
Obviously it is 'working', but weirdly

I am in China. When I plug in my powerblock i get a green light for 10-15 seconds then it turns orange. It seems to feed power but not charge the battery. i have a message that says the battery is not charging.

Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Satellite C855-1GQ: Battery does not charge - adapter is connected

Hello,
This is my first post here, I am hoping somebody can help me!
I have a Toshiba Satellite C855 1GQ laptop.
So, basically I managed to break the end of the original charger (the part which plugs into the laptop) and stupidly tried a similar fitting charger from another device which had a lower output than the Toshiba one,
however when I plugged it in it killed the laptop battery as well as the adapter (it was an old one anyway). I have a new battery and a new charger adapter but the battery will not charge.
When I first put the battery in it worked fine so the laptop itself is not broken, the laptop tells me that it is plugged in and charging but it just loses power until the battery goes flat.
The new charger adapter does not seem to work despite the fact that it tells me it is with a working battery. The specifications for the new adapter are the same as the original (I got a cheapish one from ebay).
Is there a fuse inside the laptop which may have blown when I stupidly used the adapter I shouldn't have? I have read a lot of possible solutions on this but none seem to be specific for my problem. Maybe the new adapter is not good enough?
Like I said, the new battery worked fine until it ran out of power so it must be the charger or something on the laptop stopping it from charging.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris D.

> Is there a fuse inside the laptop which may have blown when I stupidly used the adapter I shouldn't have?
The usage of wrong and not compatible AC adapter will damage the notebooks hardware (motherboard could be affected)
Very important is the fact that the original AC adapter supports the 19V (volt) output voltage and
3.42A (ampere) output current.
Usage of Ac adaptor with different output voltage (not 19V) would affect the hardware.
The usage of AC adaptor with 19V output voltage but different ampere value should not affect the hardware.
Furthermore low ampere value (< 3A) might not be good enough for battery charging
But in case the AC adaptor is compatible, i would test definitely another, new, fully compatible battery.

Hi sanjoyapple,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be concerning when your battery is not functioning as you would expect. There are several steps that I would recommend in this situation to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting the MagSafe adaptor and possibly resetting the SMC would be two of these steps. Please read over the attached article for instructions and more information on troubleshooting batteries.

Macbook Pro battery is not charging but the battery meter is full

Hi guys!
I have a 19 months macbook pro. I've tried using 2 different AC adapter but my mac's battery is still at 0% and the status says "Battery is not charging". I think my battery is dead but the LED battery indicator on my battery shows 5 lights, means its at full power.
I've tried to disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery, then press the power button for 10 sec but nothing change when i start my mac again...i also tried to reset my PRAM ( i think ) by holding a cmdopt+PR while rebooting but it didn't help to solve the problem too. I also have the battery update 1.2 installed on my mac and the results is still the same.
This is my battery info from system profiler. I hope someone can tell me what to do before I visit the Apple store.

Hello,
I am having some strange battery behavior. I bought a FastMac TruePower Battery that is supposed to have extended capacity. Now when the battery dies, i plug in my MagSafe to charge it and it immediately says 'not charging', but then begins to charge. It either continues to charge and gets stuck at 80% or so and reads "calculating" in the menu bar, or just jumps between 'charging' and 'not charging'. The symptoms are very strange, and FastMac already sent this battery back saying it passes all of their tests. I do not want to send it back again because they charged me to send it back to myself even though it still does not work as advertised. I have my original Macbook Pro Apple battery which still charges fine, so i assume it is a problem with the battery based on a simple process of elimination.

Hi all,
I tried a different charger myself (the power source is reliable). But it does not work too. I think I need to bring it down to apple shop.
But is quite disappointing with the new apple product I have. Cos not only my battery is not charging, my built in speaker, the sound is like broken too. So I can hear some noisy sound when I play music.
I have a power book G4, and the power book, everything is still in good condition. Imagine how many yrs I have with the power book G4. This power book I never bring to do any services before. I sometimes really suspect is it Apple drop quality
(cos the office new bought mac from my boss, the USB port is not working too..)
But thanks all for the reply I think I need to bring it down to apple shop. Thanks!

Camileo X150 - Battery will not charge

Hello all - I this week bought a Camileo X150 camcorder brand new. The camcorder only has power when connected to the AC adapter or USB cable. I tried to charge it on Friday, was away for 8 hours, came back and yet the battery had no power. Then last night I charge it overnight, still no power this morning.
I have tried everything possible yet it still does not power up only when connected to AC or USB - perhaps the battery is faulty or I am doing something wrong?
I would appreciate any help with this issue.

You haven't done anything wrong… to charge the battery, you need to connect the AC Adaptor only… then the battery should start charging…
But it could be possible that the battery is deeply discharged (empty) and in such case the AC adaptor should be connected at least 24 hours…
So check it again and if the battery would not charge even if the AC adaptor would be connected for a longer period of time, get in contact with your camcorder dealer…
Maybe the battery / camcorder is faulty.

Iphone 4 will not power on and is not charging

iphone 4 was charged and suddenly stopped work went dark, Will not power back on, will not charge. Any suggestions on cause or fix???

Hi daj1202,
That definitely doesn't sound good. Lets see if we can isolate this issue further:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Battery does not charge when my Satelite Pro L500 is off

Hi.
I have a Satelite Pro L500. Normally when it is plugged in the DC in and Battery led lights are lit up. Now both are off when it is plugged in and the computer is off. I have found that in this state the battery is not charged. The computer will not switch on while the power is plugged in. If I remove the power source and wait a few mins the computer will now switch on and opperate normally.
If I now plug in the power the leds are lit and the battery is charged

Hm. You mean the notebook does not boot up when AC adaptor is connected but it powers up if the AC adaptor is not connected?
Looks like an hardware issue maybe power supply electronic problem
Of course the AC adaptor should be checked too
L500 is not a very old notebook series and I think the warranty should still be valid
In such case everything should be covered by warranty so dont loose the time and get in contact with an ASP technician

Battery does not charge while plugged in

My computer is plugged into the charger and does not lose power while plugged in, however, it does not charge either. It currently sits at 63% power and says "Battery is not charging" when I mouse over the battery icon and verifies that it is plugged into the power adapter. Basically the problem is that it doesn't lose power when its charged in, but the battery isn't recharging either. The light on the charger isn't lighting up either, however, I've verified that its the computer's problem by plugging my charger into my roommates identical laptop. Any idea what the issue is? Thanks everyone.

I also have this problem with my Mid-2007 MBP.
I have reset the SMC to no avail.
I've noticed that if my battery appears to be charging (albeit slowly) and then I try to play World of Warcraft, it switches to "Not Charging" once the fans startup.
I just had it serviced and they replaced the logic board 1 wk ago and then I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could any of this have an effect?
Battery health is fine as far as I can tell (below is the info from system profiler).
