  • What's wrong with my Macbook Pro battery?

    So this is sort of related to the question I asked yesterday

    Do not charge the MacBook Pro battery

    But fundamentally there is no light on my charger and the battery bar was at 2% for a whole day saying is "do not load" I have even if it is turned off and disconnected last night and it didn't lose charge. It is under the battery bar

    What could be going on with her? Battery health status shows 'Normal' and 'Remaining Charge (mAh)' keep ranging from 85 to 87 and he is down to 75 last night and now it is back to 85. I get a new charger because the one I have is a no knockoff Apple and I think he could have done something to my Macbook, but there is a problem with the battery itself too?

    When you get a real Apple charger that works, then you can start the battery, if problem if it does not work properly. In the meantime, it would be useless to pursue this avenue.

  • My macbook pro battery will not hold a charge

    My macbook pro battery will not hold a charge. I took in an Apple reseller and claimed him install a new battery. He said that my battery was still good. I asked him to install a new battery just to have a brand new machine. With the new battery installed, the computer still will not hold a charge for very long. I got the Apple dealer and he ran several tests without conclusive results. I always have a laptop that will not hold a charge and must be connected to use for any period of time. Can anyone offer a solution? Thank you.

  • That's why my macbook pro battery drains much more quickly than in the past?

    The life of the battery of my (end 2013) 13 "MacBook Pro (OS 10.10.5) decreased a lot, very quickly, in the past months. There are 390/100 amount remaining fresh and the State of the battery is 'normal '. I do not leave the appliance plugged, "over" charge for long periods of time. I drained the battery fully before recharging for a full charge. Although wifi is usually left on; Bluetooth is usually disabled. I am running the same programs I ran for years.

    Meanwhile, the battery for this machine seems to have declined precipitously.

    I hope that others can offer advice on how to evaluate what is happening and what (if any) can do to improve the life of the battery.

    I drained the battery fully before recharging for a full charge

    This isn't a recommended service action. It can damage the battery if done repeatedly. I charge when mine gets below 20%.

    You can't damage the battery by leaving the charger plugged in for long periods. There is overload protection very intelligent integrated in the battery and power on the computer systems.

    A reduction of RUNTIME† is often a software problem. This Apple article is excellent to determine if this is the case and how to address the issue:

  • Early MacBook Pro - battery (old and new) lasts only 45 min

    Early macbook pro 13 "

    -Autonomy had become terrible, about 30 mins web browsing, the warning came on she was less than 80%, or whatever the threshold is battery.  To obtain the life expectancy of 6 to 8 hours.  I have owned since new, no spills or drops.  Its duty cycle is 8 hours on a charger, then 3-4 hours on battery every day of the week and another 2-3 hours on battery power the weekend followed by a full charge.

    -New battery installed 2 months ago was better than the nominal capacity, coconut reports 6109 mah capacity

    -New battery lasts about 45 min to 0% before web browsing and stops without warning or sleep.

    -Reset each possible controller, SMC, PRAM, etc.  No change.

    -Ran, he died 3 or 4 times and then fully charged hoping that it would be to calibrate itself, no chance.

    -Inspect the process etc. but the CPU usage is very low, only thing of note is because I'm on 10.6.8 the standard memory leak safari is still there, so must be restarted regularly, javascript is disabled.  Firefox takes about the same amount of time browsing and has a blocker javscript.  I have not installed flash.

    -Battery coco brings about 10 watts of power use while the battery is drained.  A quick calculation shows 5000 + mah used in 35 minutes isn't 10 watts so obviously, coconut is not reporting correctly.

    -Refill after low drain lasts about the same as usual, about 2 hours if I use the machine, an hour or so if his asleep.  Lived a few Chargers because of pines stick and blend.

    -The only other issue I noticed is from time to time with an external monitor connected so that the navigation in safari with Javascript, if you press some ads, the two screens in the black for a second and the computer screen will resume blurred with colors and lines, while the external display is fine. An error is recorded on the console (don't remember what it is) and then the screen is scrambled feeding, recorded increases of the coconut and the machine gets hot.  Nothing is noted in the activity monitor.  Safari shut down, sleep and wake the machine clears the display problem.  By disabling javascript, this problem is not triggered.

    -My next step is to replace the charge Jack / ongoing in the Council, but I cannot find examples of this help other people.  Its pretty cheap but.

    D ' other ideas?

  • Retina of MacBook Pro battery SUPER fast, please help?

    I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, beginning 2013) and recently the fan was spinning VERY fast and I did reset smc, cleared up a bit on my laptop and now its good but the battery has fallen like a madman. It was 50% in the evening and I put standby, but I wake up and its 0%. In the sound class always 98-40. Help, please?

    Why not leave it plugged all night and plug during breakfast or during the course, it is not necessary?

    Load circuits will prevent price hard.  My MBP stays connected when you do not move, but used up to 30% of battery once a month if not more often.

    Running to death just shortens life considerably and it looks that it has been executed to death several times for you.  And there must be some periods during the day to get in 30 minutes about charging during the day.

  • For a 15 "old MacBook Pro battery

    I just need a new battery for my old 15-inch MacBook Pro. The battery is model # 10.8V 60Wh A1175.  The Apple store told me to go to their website to buy a. Why is it so difficult to navigate the Apple site?  It took me 30 minutes to be able to find a way to ask this one question.  Somehow, I thought that I could go to their website, find a search box and type in the battery, I need.   HA! HA!  Silly me!

    If I were looking for a battery like that, I would check the well known as Other World Computing hardware vendors.
