MacBook "Service battery" WARNING

Hi all.

I was checking to see what apps use a lot of battery, so I clicked on the battery indicator and at the top it said, 'battery of Service '. He also had a triangle with an exclamation mark next to it.

I'm really interested in this topic, because it's never happened to me and I checked the health of the battery on an application called "Battery health" from the Mac App Store.

Is there really something wrong with my battery, or just must be configured/calibrated?

If it needs to be replaced, I will do more than probably watch replace then.

Thank you.

How old is the battery? How many cycles and what is health? What macbook? You really do not have we given much to work with.

    The popup of the Service battery indicates that your battery needs replacement. You can always use the battery being, however it will not last as long as expected by Apple. You will need to make an appointment-genius bar and take the MacBook Air to your store local Apple to get the battery replaced if you do not want to do, but unless the MacBook is still under warranty, it will cost $129 + tax, as shown below.

    Batteries are no longer available on the Apple online store but can be at your nearest Apple Retail Store, you must check with your store.

    Research on Amazon , there are a variety of spare batteries. The only brand name, I knew is Anker. Their battery cost about $53 (US) eBay can be another place to look.

    There is the world of calculation of other slightly more expensive batteries (~ $90 {U.S.}) but they have the choice of the color if it is important to match your computer's battery. OWC has a good reputation.

    I found on sale at Apple spare batteries, but I only looked quickly.

  • 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.

    Ciao.

  • 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.

    Hello

    1. What is the brand of mouse and the model?

    2 have you ever done any recent software or changes to the hardware to the computer?

    If you use the Microsoft mouse, I suggest you follow these methods:

    Troubleshoot a wireless mouse that does not correctly:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321122

    Troubleshoot the incidents of the response to the mouse or wireless keyboard:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/838398

    Use the following tips to get more life on the batteries in the keyboard and mouse:

    a. use the mouse on a surface of clear color. With the help of the mouse above a black surface can deplete the battery at a faster pace.

    b. do not use the mouse on a glass surface.

    c. when replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries. Other types, may not last as long.

    d. when wireless devices are not in use, store them near the computer.

    I hope this helps!

  • receive battery WARNING on start up. the battery meter indicates "94% plugged in, does not support".

    When I turn on my laptop a battery warning message.  I checked the battery meter that says the following "94% plugged in, does not support".   The laptop is fine, so why should I get this message and what I would do to this topic?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    It is always recommended to run regularly only on battery power. It will actually make the battery last longer to let it discharge once a month. Realistically, if your laptop is on a desktop and plugged all the time, it is better to just remove the battery and only use it when you need portability.

  • Service Dell UPS 2700W battery warning

    Yesterday, one of our Dell UPS 2700W pulled an alarm and the error log reports as 149 alarm.  According to the manual, here's the description:

    "Has a string of bad battery."
    detected and consequently, summer
    the charger is off.

    The recommended action is to "Communicate with your service representative."  I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this error message.  What exactly does that mean and can I do short of Dell in fact call for help.

    I appreciate any help or suggestions.  For now, the backlight on the display front is orange instead of blue and the there is a battery icon will blink with a line through it.

    In addition, the Dell UPS management software shows that everything is working normally, so I'm confused.

    Hello Delled

    The error is a mistake General battery. Make sure the firmware is version 1.12 or later and reinstall the battery. Next, you need to clear the error from the console of the inverter. If the error returns then the battery will probably be replaced.

    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.
