Wondering questions for Battery Calibrating

Hi, im a new Mac user and i've heard and read about how important it is to calibrate your battery.
However, there are a few things that im not sure if that'll affect the process of calibration or if it will not considered as calibrating.
I understand that, the process is leaving for an extra 2 hrs charge after full charge and using it till the battery runs totally flat after. Then leaving it for at least 5 hrs sleep or overnight before charging battery to full again.
Im not sure if theres a break in between will break the process or?
Example, after leaving the battery for extra charges of 2 hours after full, i will have to drain it till flat by using, what if i use it half way and then shut down and come back couple of hours and continue using it? what about after leaving it to sleep overnight and im back to charge it back to full but the same situation whereby i charged the battery half way and continue charging later on?
hmm anyone did this before or thought of this?
Need help... thank you. =s

1) Even when the battery isn't being used, its charge level slowly drops. When it gets below 95%, charging will begin again and it will be charged back up to 100%. Then charging will stop, and the process will be repeated. Charging heats the battery and all the other components of the charging system. Giving the charging system those rests between 100% and 95% keeps the battery from being hot all the time whenever the adapter is connected. This prolongs the battery's lifespan, which can be greatly shortened by excessive and prolonged heat.
2) No. It's better not to discharge the battery completely before recharging it, except once in a while to recalibrate it.
3) Partial cycles are added together to make whole ones. Letting the battery discharge to 67% and then recharging it fully would count as 1/3 of a cycle, for example.

  • Power Manager - Battery Maintenance: "Optimize for battery lifespan" question

    Having just had a battery failure after only 14 months and 77 cycles (seems some of the cells have failed as it now only lasts about 30 mins despite saying condition good and 3 hours to go - 30 mins later at 4% and takes only 30 mins to fully charge) I just bought a new battery and will be paying much closer attention to managing it using the Power Manager tool Battery Maintenance options.
    Have read a lot here and elsewhere about batt issues and thresholds for maximising life. Can live with the conflicting advice too, but what I really want to know is this:
    If I select the "Optimize for battery lifespan (automatically change for me)" option and check the box that says "Notify me when thresholds change" - is there any way this little app can be persuaded to tell me what the thresholds actually ARE at any time / at the outset?
    It is all very well letting it decide what thresholds for charging/discharging to implement but I would like to know what they are and nowhere can I see how to get this info. And I have not yet had a " they've changed" message and have no idea when I might.   I know I'm just the poor sap who pays for the batteries but surely I can be allowed to know what, in its wisdom, the Power Manager has deemed appropriate to implement if I give its own way?
    Anyone got any experience/clues as to how to track/monitor the automatic levels when these settings selected?
    Thanks.

    Hello George,
    it seems that the feature to manually adjust the thresholds has dissapeared in newer powermanager versions.
    The powermanager is now set to a full automatic and takes care of your battery health.
    Simply set it to automatic and relax.
    Also I recommend to leave your battery in your TP, it will not harm the battery.

  • KB article 1490 on battery calibration needs work

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490 says:
    "Disconnect the power adapter while the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time."
    Does “running” mean something different than “use”? Does this instruction mean the computer should not be allowed to sleep?
    [And fix the typo: "still on" should be "still is on".]

    Assuming that, then -- do both terms mean the computer 1) can or 2) cannot be put to sleep?
    The context here is the instructions are for "Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance". The instruction in question is #3 for
    PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD), MacBook (all models), MacBook Pro (all models), MacBook Pro (17-inch) (all models) and MacBook Air
    The battery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) and any model of MacBook or MacBook Pro has been updated because of a new battery released with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps to calibrate your battery:
    1. Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    2. Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    3. Disconnect the power adapter while the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
    4. At this point, save your work.  Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep.
    5. Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
    6. Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
    Does the calibration process require, in step 3, that the computer be kept awake? It seems likely, given step 4, that step 3 allows the computer to be in either the wake state or sleep state.
    My interest is in clarifying whether the calibration process requires that battery draw-down be relatively quick (as when the computer is awake) or does speed not matter (i.e., the computer can be either awake or asleep).

  • Question about battery life

    Hi everyone,
    I got my refurbished MBP 13" mid 2010 model two Friday's ago (July 16) from the Apple online store and I have some questions about the battery life....
    Immediately after I got it, I followed all the battery calibration instructions from apple.com/batteries (and did it again after it because I was unsure if I did it properly). While it was charging, I was installing some recommended applications, one being coconutBattery. In the additional information section, it said that my MBP was 7 weeks old, has gone threw 10 battery load cycles, and had a original battery capacity of 97%. I am now at 17 loadcycles, with 94% original battery capacity.
    Now to how much time I get with the battery... I have done some testing of my own, such as watching some movies (Tron and Star Trek First Contact, I'm a geek :D), basic web browsing (5 tabs open, reading blogs, watching a couple of 3 minute youtube videos) and listening to an audio book (iWoz) with a tab or two open. The best battery life I have gotten (basic web browsing) was 5 1/2 hours, with 60% LCD brightness, keyboard backlight off, and bluetooth off, with just Chrome and coconutBattery open.
    Is this the average battery life for everyone else? I bought this because of its supposedly good battery life, and though I am very happy with my purchase, I just want to make sure that I have a fully working MBP.
    Some other notes:
    The battery meter next to the clock sometimes says that 98% is fully charged (I think it is just a glitch)
    The estimated battery life is between 9-11 hours when brightness is at 30%-40%, airport and bluetooth is off, and keyboard backlight is off when I am doing text editing.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: Forgot to say I have the 2.4ghz 250gb model.

  • GS70 - Battery Calibration utility does not work (any longer)

    Hi folks
    Just got myself a brand new GS70 Stealth notebook. I got the pre-installed battery calibration utility to run OK once, but a few days laters it just quickly flashes 2 windows one after the other and is gone / crashed.
    Of course it might be something I did (upgraded BIOS, drivers, installed some apps), but I still need to find out what, otherwise it might happen again even after I reset to factory settings.
    I scanned all 33 threads of this forum found with the search "battery calibration", and found only one which describes something similar:
      https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165389.0;nowap
    However the symptoms are not the same (I have Windows 8 and my other utilities KLM & SCM are working fine), and that thread is too old anyway. So a couple of questions to the community:
    1) does anybody experience the same failed start issue, with GS70 or other?
    2) can anybody advise on how to debug the battery calibration utility to try and find out where it crashed? (found no logfile)
    (note: I also tried to upgrade .NET to 4.5.1 as it seems to be used, no change)
    I will eventually contact MSI about this, but I thought that I would ask around first. Thanks for any help...

    Okay, just found the answer by myself: The battery calibration utility depends on a service "Micro Star SCM" (MSIService.exe), which I had disabled.
    Setting the service start mode to "manual" was enough to solve the problem, the utility starts again.
    Hope this can help someone else.

  • Battery Calibration and Charge Capacity?

    I am currently using a PB G4 15" (high res DL SD) and I've had it for about a month. I just read about calibrating the battery and went ahead and did it. Have I done any damage to the battery or shortened it's effectiveness by waiting a month to calibrate rather than when it was first out of the box?
    Also, i also just read about checking the battery charge capacity using the system profiler. My charge capacity prior to calibration was 2731 and after calibration it's 2930. However, it sounds like it should be in the 4400's based on the posts I've read. What do these numbers mean and do I have a faulty battery since it's so low?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Kevin --
    Yeah, I'm not loving those numbers you posted either. I'd try performing the calibration procedure once or twice more to make sure that that battery capacity number doesn't change.
    The other thing I would do if I were you is download Coconutbattery: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27425
    It's a free app available at versiontracker and it will tell you your battery's original capacity as well as it's current capacity.
    I agree with you that a capacity of 2930 mAh after only a month of use and 16 cycles suggests that your battery is defective and should be replaced at no cost to you under the terms of the warranty.
    For a frame of reference, after 10 months of use and 166 load cycles, my battery's original capacity of 4400 mAh is now 4228 mAh. No way yours should be in the 2930 mAh range.
    When you call AppleCare to arrange for a replacement, if in fact that's what you end up needing to do, the agent you speak with, in addition to making sure that you've properly calibrated your battery a few times (as mentioned earlier) may also ask that you reset your PB's Power Management Unit (PMU). While I'm skeptical that a PMU reset will alter the outcome, you can find instructions on how to reset the PMU here (just in case you need to): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    Good luck and please post back how everything turns out.
    -- JDee
    PS. You probably know this, but the calibration procedure has been changed slightly for your DL hi-res version of the PB. Here it is below, just to make sure:
    PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)
    The battery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) has been updated because of a new battery released with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps to calibrate your battery:
    Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    Disconnect the power adapter with the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, you will see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
    Continue to keep your computer on until it goes to sleep. Save all your work and close all applications when the battery gets very low, before the computer goes to sleep.
    Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
    Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
    Tip: When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleep mode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", to maintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is truly exhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safe sleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive. When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep state using the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

  • 'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

    Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
    Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'.  The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below. 
    I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same.  So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
    Appreciate...
    Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
    To the points raised in this thread.
    1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
    2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
    3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
    4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
    5. Repaired permissions - same result.
    Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
    Question for anyone with a music library
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
    Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
    In addition what I posted above -
    1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
    2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
    3) Repaired disk permissions
    4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
    5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
    6) Restarted computer
    7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
    9) Increased internet access speed
    10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
    10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
    Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
    Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
    Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
    I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

    Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
    Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion.  Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure.  Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

  • "No batteries available" on my Macbook and not eligible for battery replace

    I turned on my Macbook with AC power after returning holidays. I realized it couldn't charge itself, and the battery indicator showed "X" with "No batterries available."
    I went to apple store and had genius bar, but my Macbook is not eligible for battery replacement program even though I bought it between February 2006 and April 2007.
    Is there any suggestion that I can get battery replacement with free of charge ?

  • TOP questions for Eseries devices - not so new!

    Just noticed that the thread titled:
    TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here [new]
    Really isn't so new dated 30-Cot-2007 11:48 AM - last edited on 30-Oct-2007 11:48 AM
    The post suggests that the first thing to do is update to the latest version of software.
    Alas the last update for E72 was 27 October 2010 which is flawed!  I know as my phone has misbehaved since installing it and I see other users reporting similar if not the same issues here.
    *#0000# reports version 052.005.217.11
    Question - How does one down grade to previous version?
    The post then suggests "If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it."
    Well actually on the E72 this does nothing!  I Type in *#7370# and its displayed to me and nothing else happens.  If I enter *#0000# I get the version number so it seems the software/firmware does not understand the code above!
    I did try 'factory settings' option from one of the control panel menu's instead at some point of my misery but was surprised by just how little effect that had - many things were not reset.
    If your still reading, I thought I would share some steps I have found to sometimes help on E72 when it appears to hang / stall:
    1. Try holding down the home button and if the running applications bar is shown try closing the applications by pressing the delete (backspace) key.
    2.- If that fails try pressing the off button and selecting 'offline' mode - This sometimes works - if it does then try previous point before going back to an online mode such as 'general'.
    3. If that fails - try holding down the power button to turn device off - that sometimes works! But sometimes the keyboard lights simply stay on until the battery goes dead...
    4. Remove the battery wait a moment and then re-insert battery.  You may then have to enter the time and date. Do check your alarms - during GMT I noticed all my alarms would have incremented by an hour!  Not seen this since BST started.

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
    FYI from another fine post I found:
    FOR SOFT-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR HARD-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
    1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
    2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
    3) switch ON the phone.
    4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

  • Questions for Melodyne users

    What a wonderful tool. I have some Logic-specific questions for those of you that are using it.
    1. How can I get the Transfer files that Melodyne creates to be stored with the project?
    2. If I've tuned up a section of a vocal, and then want to copy that region to
    another place in the song, will my edits get copied as well? I am thinking about how Logic allows you to move automation in and out of regions.
    3. Has anyone had the Transfer process spontaneously stop? It does so to me about one time in four. Usually I start again and it's OK. OS X 10.6, LP 8.02.
    Thanks.

    I gues you are refering to Melodyne Editor? There is a setting in Melodyne preferences which allows you to set the transfered files location.
    2. If I've tuned up a section of a vocal, and then want to copy that region to
    another place in the song, will my edits get copied as well? I am thinking about how Logic allows you to move automation in and out of regions.
    What you hear is in fact melodyne, not Logic in this track so you can hear edits made in Melodyne. What you do in the track is ignored so you can't copy a fragment to another position directly in the track. But if you copy the fragment in Melodyne's window then you will hear it. I hope you got what I mean
    3. Has anyone had the Transfer process spontaneously stop? It does so to me about one time in four. Usually I start again and it's OK. OS X 10.6, LP 8.02.
    No I hadn't. There are 2 options to start the transfer - first is: (1) click start in Logic (2) hit 'transfer' in melodyne. The second way is (1) hit 'transfer' (2) click start in Logic. I use UAD plugins and once I found somewher in the Melodyne forum that the second way is better if you use some specific plugins. Because I use the second way for that reason it is possible that I don't have the issue you describe.

  • Messed up battery calibration

    Hi,
    I just received my MB Pro today and I messed up doing the initial battery calibration. I assumed the process as the same as my PowerBook G4 (charge battery to full, use computer until it sleeps, recharge again). I later looked up how to do it for the MB Pro and you have to leave it on full power for 2 hours, and then when it sleeps allow it to do so for 5 hours. Is it a big deal that I did the initial calibration wrong? Can I just do it over the correct way without worrying about it? Or is it even necessary at this point?
    Thanks

    No worries. You can (and should) just repeat it following the proper steps. It's best to calibrate every 2 months or so.
    Hope this helps...

  • M5400: Automatically Optimize for battery lifespan?

    Hello mithunr,
    I know you can help me with a clear answer !!!
    I am using since 3 days ago a Lenovo Essential M5400 laptop.
    It looks very nice , all software i found on lenovo website , so its great.
    Because is my first laptop , i do have some questions regarding the battery lifespan, because i am using my laptop like a desktop, all the time the AC adapter connected.
    I am using Power Manger 6 and i set the battery on : automatically optimize for baterry lifespan.
    Did i made the best choice if i am using my laptop as a desktop ??? (for sure i will not use it very often on battery mode)
    I want to say that the battery is fully charged 100% , status : no activity,
    I used only 1 time the battery until 85% and then i plugged in again the AC, and was charged again to 100% and remained like this.
    design capacity 47,52whrs , remaining capacity 47.07whrs - this means 99,05%
    cycle count 2, temperature 27-30.
    I know that is not ok to work with battery 100% charged , but in this way this option : automatically maximize for battery lifespan is ok or not?
    Please help me with this issue , i really dont know what is the better option if i use my laptop as a desktop (ac connected).
    Thank you very much .

    Lenovo Essential M5400: i3 4000m 2.4 ghz , 4gb ddr3, 500gb+8gb ssh, nvidia geforce gt 740m

    Thanks CBHedricks.
    Normally i am using all the time AC power connected , thats why i did not know which option to select in order to not kill the battery very fast .
    I selected the option "Automatically optimize for battery lifespan" from Lenovo Power Manager 6 -> Battery -> Battery maintenance (advanced options) .
    So, your opinion is that this options is the best for my type of laptop use (ac power connected) ???
    Thanks again .
