• MacBook Air battery does not load after resetting SMC

  

  Hi all, hope you can help me with this. My model of Macbook Air early 2014 seems to have some problems with its battery. The battery status says "do not load" and it is stuck at 74%. My charger light is still red and I tried to check the status of the battery, it is said to be normal; also I have reset the SMC and all that stuff that is suggested on the discussion Forum, but still it is of no use. Someone had a similar problem before?

  Try resetting the SMC two times more.

• 11 - inch MacBook Air battery compatibility

  Hi guys!

  I have an old end 2010 11 inch MacBook Air. Is it possible to replace this laptop battery with a battery from a newer model with a higher capacity?

  Obviously, the laptop has is no longer guaranteed, so I'm not afraid to experiment.

  I would be grateful links to manuals, tutorials, guides, etc.. Thank you in advance!

  I wouldn't do it.  Note the spare batteries available on the website of OWC:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/search/battery+MacBook

  They have a specific battery of 2010, then a different battery for 2012 and newer models.  It is fair to say that they are different.

  OWC also has instructions for Setup here:

• Best thing to do when the MacBook Air battery said "replace soon".

  I've had this for awhile now. When I click on my battery, it says "replace soon".

  

  What should I do about it? Replace the battery myself or send it? I don't have a warranty on it more.

  Is it to Apple to get it replaced. My Macbook Air came with the same message several months ago. I took a Genius Bar appointment, left for a few hours while I did some shopping and came back to pick it up. I checked it before I left, and everything was good to go since then.

  It was $ 136 with tax, but the peace of mind and knowing that my Mac is back in perfect condition, it was well worth it for me. My Mac is out of warranty for several years.

  Good luck

• New battery in old Macbook Air 11

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Air 11 mid-2012, which is coming to an end with its battery life. I was wondering if its possible to replace the battery with one of the newer versions that has the greater autonomy? Its A1465 model, some of the new States seems to be too much. So physically it must adjust or am I completely wrong?

  Would be sweet to upgrade the battery in the 2013-2015 as the battery life is up to 8 hours according to their specifications.

  Apple will replace the battery in your MBP with one who is exactly the same as that of the MBA came with.

  If you try the third party stack walk, you run a lot of risk.  If you buy a NuPower or Anker product, you should be fine.  eBay or other sources may be highly questionable and very costly in the long term.

• I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

  I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

  Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

  If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

  Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

  Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

  "The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

• Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)

  Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

  Thank you.

  Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the

  all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements

  Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.

  Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery

  where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining

  and expected full load capacity?

  I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive

  is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space

  for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.

  Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check

  in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.

  A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.

  Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides

  the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

• My 2013 series MacBook Air hot and slow or freezes when I'm on Facebook or Tumblr. In addition, the battery begins to drain. Why?

  Whenever I'm on Facebook or Tumblr, my MacBook freezes and runs hot and slow, eventually freezing. He also began to overheat, with maximum speed cooling fan and battery drainage. This only happens when I'm on these two sites since it rolls when they are not open. There is no problem in loading the computer or using other programs and Web sites.

  These issues have started only very recently, in the last week or so. What is strange is that for a number of programs or open tabs does not seem to cause problems, but once I open Facebook or Tumblr, the computer becomes overloaded (even if there are no other programs running outside of Safari and they are only two tabs open). Even YouTube does not cause the same effect.

  Help is very appreciated!

  Hey there!

  What browser do you use? I had some problems of my own with Tumblr, Google Chrome, and power draining eventually led me to dump Chrome when I realized it was hogging all my resources. I recommend also to configure tumblr to show you your dashboard in the pages of 10 to 15 positions rather than scroll without end - in this way, he does try to keep everything loaded at the same time.

  You can also see your Mac activity monitor while you use these sites to get a better idea of how the power of the computer's processor and RAM are handling activity.
