Why is my battery dying when it is fully charged

Can anyone tell me why my battery keeps dying on me when it's fully charged!!!!

You didn't state how old your device is. Mine is 3 years old and the battery is approaching its lifetime amount of charge cycles, about 1000 I believe. It will discharge in about 30 minutes if I continuously download data, such as an FM internet stream. Until I purchase a new 4S, I connect my iPhone 3G to a Richard Solo battery while listening to my favorite FM station during my daily walk.

I just got my iPhone 4s yesterday and I let the battery die and then I fully charged it . It has been off charging for 2 minutes and has already dropped to 98% all that I have done is reply to 2 texts

So I bought my iPhone 4s last night and first thing I did was update to iOS 5.0.1 then inlet the battery die. It charged all night and was at 100% in just 2 minutes it drained down to 98% have I done something wrong? All I did was reply to two text messages. All my other phones wouldn't lose battery for a good 30 mins

Give it a chance. It takes a while for the battery condition to find its feet. And - just a personal hint - don't panic over a couple of percent on the battery readout.

Why does my Ipod touch 4g battery die when i'm not using it?

I've had it since December(Christmas) and it as already seen the screen of death.I dont know whats wrong with it the battery died when i wasn't even using it. How can i fix this, and is this covered in my 1 year warranty from apple.

If the iPod is only sleeping and not powered off, the battery can significantly drain overnight.
Yes, the battery is covered by the 1-year warranty.

Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7?

Why does my battery die so quickly with iOS 7? Charged to 100%. Unplugged and opened up an hour later. Down to 88%. Why? No apps open.

I think it might also be a bug, my 4S went down to 1% I could actually see it go down from 18% just like a watch. The phone started at about 60% and went down to 1% in about an hour but the useage still stated I had over 6 hours of stand by time, when I plugged in the phone to charge it jumped from 1% to 27%.

Depends on usage, your cellular reception overall, and various settings during that time.

Q hello good morning would help me with something last night started to charge my iPhone and when it was fully charged the night off and the battery was consumed alone and without any battery dawned

Hi, had the same problem with my ipad.
First of all I would suggest to close all apps which might be opened (maybe one is working without that you know).
To close the apps press twice in a row the home button and keep a finger on the first app which appesars on the lower band until the entire row starts moving. then press the red MINUS on all oyur apps in order to close them all.
Then switch on and off your phone and see whether the battery is still draining.
if this continues try to keep you phone on a flight modus to see if this is due to internet connection.
maybe you should review some of your settings, as notifications, bluetooth, push services etc. (see specific topics on how to save battery).
If you still have not solved your problem try to restart you phone as a new one (after that you can re-download all your apps). 8do this by using itunes)
remind to save your data (e.g. pictures) prior to this operation.

Will my iPad still get charged when I use my iPad with the plug in when it is fully charged?

I'm wondering if my iPad will still get charged when I use it with the plug in when it is fully charged, because some computer battery's lifespan get decreased when you use them with the plug in when it is fully charged, but is it the same thing with the iPad or does it stop charging when it is fully charged?
Thank-you! :D

No it is not better to use it all the time when it is plugged in. Use the battery. That's what it is for anyway. See Michael Black's post above. That will wear the battery down and the performance of the battery over time.
Use it on the battery and when it needs to be charged - recharge it. If you leave it plugged in after a full charge - it will not hurt. The battery will stop charging even if it is left plugged in.
It is OK to use the device while it is plugged in - even for a matter of hours - but not constantly or as a rule of them.

Should i leave charge plug when it is fully charged?

Should i leave charge plug when it is fully charged? I read that my macbook pro with retina display (Early-2012) has 1000 charge-cycle. If i do not unplug it when it is fully charged, it won't count plus for charge-cycle. However, is it beneficial?
Thanks a lot.

You can leave it plugged in whether using it or not. It will not harm the battery:

I'm having trouble turning on my ipad and how can I tell when it's fully charged?

I'm having trouble turning on my ipad and how can I tell when it's fully charged?

Try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
Have you read the User Guide?
Unless the charge indicator has bee turned off you see the percentage charged in the top right of the screen.

Why does the battery die before the power monitor puts the computer to sleep?

Used to be that the power monitor would sleep the computer safely, but lately that doesn't work. I imagine this is something to do with ageing of the battery - is there a way I can recalibrate this?
Thanks!

Battery Dying when not in use!!

*hey there forum*
i have a summer '07 macbook, i have snow leopard installed on it and the battery tells me that i need to service it. recently i got a new mac so the macbook is off most of the time. when i use it i charge the battery and charge it to 100%. the next time i use it it is not fully charged (around 70%). *BTW i completely turn if off!!*
is this because the battery needs to be changed?
i still have the 3 yr warranty, does apple cover a new battery or do i have to buy it??
thanks forum!!

Hi AppleRocks101,
An important piece of information... how long between your "next time" usage? Are we talking a few hours, a few days, a few weeks? Over time your battery will lose charge, naturally. But to lose 30% capacity while being stored should usually occur over several weeks (even a few months). Unless of course there's already something wrong with the battery. Considering the battery is telling you that it requires service, then it's also fairly safe to say that there's potentially a problem with the battery and thus the reason for the 30% loss of charge during storage.
When was the last time you calibrated the battery? Did you try an SMC reset? What's the Full Charge Capacity on the battery? How many cycles on the battery? (all important bits of information)
AppleCare does not cover battery replacements unless the battery is determined to be defective by Apple, in order to reach that determination, Apple will need to diagnose the battery via an Authorized Service Provider, Apple Retail Store or you can call into AppleCare for more assistance.

Why is my battery dying so fast

The battery is fully charged and once i take it off the charger it goes down to about 50% in about an hour. i make sure there are no apps open in the background and it just keeps going down.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
It's odd that it drops so fast so I question first is it really charging to full. I would question if the battery, cable, wall plug or wall outlet is bad. You can try to isolate these and narrow down the suspects. First use a different wall outlet. Sometimes one will go bad and you don't know it. Then try to borrow a cord and wall plug. Change only one to see if it makes a difference and if not try the other.
If none of these have worked then I would take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Service Center o be checked out. Maybe someone else on the forum has something else that might help. Good luck!

HT4623 Hi!My iPAD lost its charge fast !!I've got an iPAD capacity 57,1GB and it has available 55,1GB ,version 7.0.4 .I'd like to know how long does the battery last when it is 100 % charged.

Hi!I've just installed the iOS 7.0.4 operating system and the battery lost its charge at an incredibly speed.I'd like to know how long does the battery last if everything is right when it has 100% charge.Thanks!

I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
Any other ideas?
Come on, people.
Thanks,
Doug

Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
Thank you to anyone who can help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
also
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Battery life: Does MacBook pro's battery stop charging automatically when it's fully charged?

I know that it is not good to leave batteries on charge after it's being fully charged becasue it reduces it's life span (the chemical reaction stuffs up...)
Anyway, I heard that some people were saying that it is ok to leave the Mac plugged in even after it's being fully charged, because the battery stops consuming power from the adapter automatically. Is this true?
Another question. How ofter you do guys charge your MBP? I have to charge mine once every day pretty much. It's a reletively new computer (i bought it on april). But now it looks like it's not even lasting 5 hours sometimes. I think I asked this before as well. But I'm still stressing about this.

ALL Li-ion batteries stop charging when they are full. They have an internal micro-controller to enforce this.
I run my MBP down to about 20% charge left and then recharge on a daily basis. The run time depends on what you are doing. Heavy usage will reduce the run time. Flash web sites, playing movies, maximum screen intensity, bluetooth on are all examples of things that will reduce run time.
Think of a battery like a bucket of water. If you let the water trickle out it will take a long time to empty the bucket. If you turn the bucket upside down it will be empty in a few seconds.
In other words a battery holds a fixed amount of energy. The rate at which you discharge it will determine the run time. As the battery ages the amount of energy that it can hold will go down. The battery will age whether or not you use it. Regular usage will give the longest overall life for the battery.
