What can I do: Macbook Battery need replace at 103 cycle

I have my Macbook late-2006 and suddenly the battery do not charge at cycle 103.
I tried to talk to guys at Apple Store but the only thing they can do is to sell me a new battery.
In fact, the battery was in recall before 2009 but I was not be able to send it back at that time.
If the battery die only at cycle 103, is this normal? feel so upset...

If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

  • RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad

    I've installed a new C350 recently. After a few days, I receive a warning message from IronPort (RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad). What does it mean? Is it a hardware failure?

    This indicates that the RAID battery is fully discharged and cannot be charged. Essentially, a bad RAID battery. I would recommend getting in touch with Ironport support to get the appropriate RMA initiated.

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Is there any way to save data(pictures and videos) on a iPhone 3GS with no backup and the battery needs replaced?

    I have an iPhone 3GS, the battery is dead and needs replaced. Is there any way to have the battery replaced and save all the photos and videos that are very important of family and friends that are irreplaceable on it? There has been no back up done on the phone that I know of. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I have to think you have tried operating the iPhone with the charging cable plugged into a charger and outlet or USB.  It is likely you have tried this and it failed to operate.  Have you tried a Reset on the iPhone to see if that will cause the battery to function ling enough to do an iCloud backup or iTunes backup?

  • Does my battery need replaced?

    Hi all,
    My HP dv7 notebook is almost 2 yrs old. Lately, my battery hasn't been able to maintain a charge past 85%, and the maximum charge / battery time limit has been decreasing over a couple of months. I've finally found out about the HP Support Assistant, then ran a battery check.
    Here are my results:
    How do they look? "Charge capacity 68%??"
    Before I even found out about this nifty HP battery check program, I had bought a new battery for my laptop. I just opened it today, popped it into my laptop, and ran a battery check on it too:
    How does *that* look??? That's an old battery they gave me, haha.... but higher charge capacity. o.O
    Should I keep the online-ordered battery, and save it for later? Or shall I send it back for a refund, for now?
    What can I do? I just recently thought it might be my power cord too. Shall I order one, and that'll do the trick?
    Please let me know your thoughts and any advice. Thanks in advance,
    katsumii
    Edit: Edited for additional information

    Hello Katsumii,
    You state that you are having issues with your battery, is that corret? I will be happy to help you.
    You can calibrate the battery (the original battery), and then completely charge it up. Also you can update the BIOS if an update is available.
    Me personally I would keep the 2nd battery as a backup.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro 10,1 battery needs replaced

    I have a Macbook Pro 10,1 15inch with Retina Display that is just over 12 months old.  It's been working great and now it's not holding a charge.  It says that it's at 77%, but when I click on the %, it states that the battery condition is "Replace Battery Now"  My cycle count for the battery is 178 which is well below the 1000 per the support page.  I haven't been able to get in touch with Apple Care, but it doesn't seem like the battery is accessible. 
    I haven't had any problems, the battery hasn't run dead; recharge when I'm hoovering around 10%.  The most recent update was the Mavericks 10.9.3 but I'm thinking that is coincidence.  Any thoughts?  I've never had any problems where I've had to deal with Apple Care, any thoughts??

    toby8myshoe,
    you can call AppleCare directly.
    Retina MacBook Pros have glued-in batteries; you’ll need to go to an Apple store or Apple-authorized service center, or send your MacBook Pro to Apple, to have your battery replaced. Your battery’s life will be maximized by starting to recharge it when it gets down to 20%; running it on battery below 20% will shorten the battery’s life.

  • White macbook (I think 2006?) battery needs replacing - advice?

    I see apple sells replacement batteries for $129 and amazon sells them for $49-ish. Will the amazon one really work???
    thanks!

    Hello zebulonnyc,
    I see apple sells replacement batteries for $129 and amazon sells them for $49-ish. Will the amazon one really work???
    Yes as long as the part numbers match up with what Apple's website has for your Macbook model and it's brand new. I would be a bit more skeptical of used ones, so I would recommend staying away from those.

  • My ZTE OPEN Firefox OS 'phone battery needs replacing; where can I get a new one?

    I have been searching the web all morning without success. The old battery model is Li3712T42P3h654246h. It has been short-lived from the beginning but now loses charge within 48 hours even when unused with everything switched off. Has it been superceded perhaps by a different model? Websites don't give dimensions or connector positions so i cannot try alternatives.

  • Macbook battery, and replacement, won't charge

    I have an early 2008 white macbook. The battery recently stopped charging. The icon on the menubar  reads, "Condition: Replace Now." I installed a new battery and also bought a new mag adapter powercord. Still no luck. The computer runs if the powercord is plugged in - but not on the batter. Thoughts?

    Thanks. Took it in to the local Apple reseller. The problem was a bad "new" battery that didn't fit. Watch out for "Newertechnology" NuPower batteries. Got mine from OWC. Put out the extra cash for an Apple battery and, what do you know, it worked. That's what I get for cheaping out. Guess there's some wisdom in the cliche, you get what you pay for.
