The battery life is going down fast

I bought a Macbook Pro about four days ago and I used it for about two cycles (In the 'system information' panel it is saying two cycles) and the battery life is at 96% in iStat Pro so I though that the percentage is going down rapidly...
And I saw on the apple website that the batteries are made to get some great performance up to 1000 cycles without going under 80% of battery life...
Does the battery life will stop decreasing or is it will keep the same decreasing speed ? Othewise if it keeps the same stats it will be at 80% after 10 cycles...
Thanks

Have you tried calibrating the battery (as in the readings accuracy)? It appears that the battery life %age fluctuates up and down from what I am seeing on mine. At times it would go down to 96% on Health, both on istats and coconut, as of now my battery health reading says 99%, earlier today it said 96%. I come to think that this is normal and I would not worry about it. Keep using your MBP for a while and see what happens. My cycle says 13 btw.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s, recently its been a lot hotter than usual, also the battery life is going down a lot faster than usual, and it takes absolutely ages to charge up. There must be a serious problem with the battery, any ideas? thanks

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

Since the new software up date my battery life is going down very fast. How can i fix this?

There are numerous posts in this forum on how to maximize battery life. Either look in the "More Like This" box to your right or do a forum search.

My battery shows it is charging but the percent of battery life is going down

When I plug my iphone up to the computer it shows it is charging but the percent of battery life goes down. It won't charge on any of my other chargers either. This is a pretty new phone, not a year old. Have already reset by holding both buttons for 15 seconds and that didn't help.

I think it needs a repair.
Same as you cherge it setted on air (whith all connections disconnected ?)

HT1476 i heard that if you let the battery drain to zero that it could hurt the battery life (like if it goes to zero the battery life would go down from like maybe 10 hours, to 8 hours. just an example.) is this true because ive been worried about my bat

i really want all my devices working at full capacity especially the battery and i want more info on the care of it. like should i charge a device for a specific time the first time i get it, and if its ok to let a battery go to zero and if overcharging is bad. by the way i have an ipod nano 5g, ipod shuffle 4g an ipod touch 4g, an iphone 5s, a ps vita, a surface rt, and im planning to get a macbook pro. ive had some of these devices for a while and some are fairly new. i really want to make these devices last and i dont want to have to replace them for any reason.
please help and thanks.

It is not good for Lithium chemistry batteries to become fully discharged, however, iPads, iPhones and iPods will shut off before the battery is fully drained. That is, when the phone goes from 1% to 0% and shuts off there is still plenty of charge on the battery. However, you should not let it sit for a long time after it shuts off, as the phone still uses some power even in this state. So if the phone shuts off due to low power you should charge it within a day or two.
You also cannot overcharge an iDevice. The charger is actually in the device; it is not the adapter that you plug into the wall. That is just a 5 volt power source. And the charger in the device will stop charging when the device reaches full charge.
One advantage of Lithium batteries is that they have no "memory effect". That is, you don't have to fully drain them before charging, and you can connect them to a charger at whatever the current state of charge, and remove them from the charger if necessary before they reach full charge. None of these activities will shorten the life of the battery.
It is a good idea to run the battery all the way down, then charge to 100% every month or so. But this is to recalibrate the battery gauge, it is not to "condition" the battery.

I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with 3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,
Adrian

Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

Hi,
I asssume it's a laptop!
1st I would run it right down & then do a full recharge, then run it down again + a full recharge..
Check that you do not have any apps running in the background, reset PRAM..
When all's done I usually run a movie & time how long the battery lasts..if after that & no joy call Apple Help..

I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
This will ensure you have no apps running...
I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

My MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before

MacBook Pro just shut down without notice. It had about 40% of the battery life. It will not turn back on and I noticed when plugged in the little light on the power cord is blinking orange, not a solid green like normal. Anyone have this issue before? I've only had this for about 3mos. I called apple support. They tried one thing then said I have to take to the apple store. Unfortunately I don't have one nearby. So before I travel an hour+ away I thought is give it a shot on here. Thank.

Hi S,
Did they have you try an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?

Take a look at this to make sure your settings are optimized to the best it can be.
If all else fails, try and restore through iTunes, set up as a new iPhone and manually sync your apps and media back to your iPhone.
If still persists after this, you might call Applecare and see if they can run a battery diagnogstics..

Also, apple says there is nothing they can/wil do even though i got the apple care....i mean really? $50.00 for 2002 computer with windows XP and 512mb of ram and a single core processor......faster and more usable than $1400.00 computer with 4gb of ram and dual core processor.....***???
