    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. A better option is probably buy one yourself and replace it. Buy a quality like this http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple_laptop/batteries/MacBook_13_Unibody battery

  • 2012 MacBook Air 13 "Service battery

    I bought a 2012 refurbished MacBook Air in 2013 and through the last 2 years I have gone through approximately 484 cycles of battery. (I am a student and use the computer every day for school work). Last week, he started the "Service battery" alert. I never get more than 4 hours if I don't have Chrome open. I use Premiere Pro a lot on battery, would that be a problem?

    Thank you, Jakob.

    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. I hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b63er door Service & battery

    I have a problem with them in opening and closing.

    At first I was able to pull free battery, but could not open the service door. Slider was just stuck in left (battery) the half and did not move to the right.

    Then, after an unknown event, I opened door service. Now cursor stuck in the right corner and I can not yet completely close the service door, left only extract battery.

    What can I do?

    Sorry for the bad English.

    Well, after some shamanism with screwdriver I manually remove battery (I hope I don't break anything) and peacefully close service door.

    Problem solved, I think. Two of them open/close freely now.

    But still do not know why I could not open the service door at the beginning...

  • "Repair of battery" after 200 cicles (macbook Pro 2011)

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro from mid-2011 and after around 200 cicles, he says "service battery", but the battery works perfectly well, of course it takes only 2 hours or less because it is already 5 years (and we all know that it is a complete lie that the batteries takes 8 hours - I don't guess if you turn away and look at him without touching a single key).

    In any case... I formatted the computer and reinstalled the OSX and the sign disappeared. But after a few days, it reappeared. I tried to restart the MSC, but nothing has changed.

    I read on some pages, that after a few OSX update, many macbook Pro from this year had the same problem, so that you would to buy a new battery, even when there is nothing wrong with it.

    Any suggestions?

    There is probably something wrong with it, otherwise the system would not report it. Two hours is remarkably short for a good work of this model battery. And besides: battery fault may start to swell and cause serious damage to your Macbook. I don't think not twice before replacing a battery of 5 years.

  • Satellite L10-146: battery life decreased to 30 minutes

    my laptop is supposed to have a battery about 3 hours time. I bought it a year ago, but now he can run for 30 minutes. should I go and complain where I bought it or conntact toshiba? dose - does anyone know where I can by a new? If someone had the same problem and knows what is best to do?
    I have a satellite L10-146.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    It is normal for the batteries decrease their performance after a while of use. But this is definitely not normal watering duration decreases of 3 hours 30 minutes in one year. So I think that if you still have warranty, you will get a new Toshiba service battery.

    Anyway to get a new battery (free or not) you should contact Toshiba service partner.

    Good bye

  • Difficulties of reloading

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 "early 2011.

    Battery does not charge properly and I can't work on the computer only the AC adapter, because it stops when the battery is at 0%.

    I have run the system report and got this info for power, while it is plugged into the power adapter:

    Charge information: support Information:

    Charge remaining (mAh): 878

    Fully charged: No.

    Loading: No.

    Full Charge capacity (mAh): 4188

    Health information:

    Cycle Count: 581

    Condition: Battery Service

    Battery: Yes

    Amperage (mA):-216

    Voltage (mV): 11094

    As I understand it, the amperage is too low.

    So what can I do to solve this problem?

    New adapter (I tried others without change)?

    New battery (not sure what it means battery Service)?

    Thank you.

    "Service battery" means the battery needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

  • Reset the SMC on Macbook 13 inch 2013 retina

    I just reset the SGC of my retina 2013 macbook, I bought there a little more than two years. Lately, it's been slow and fans have worked very hard, even though I have only run programs like Microsoft Word and Spotify. Suddenly, he showed "service battery" in the battery icon, made me do a google search, discover, reset the SMC should solve the problem, what he did. Now, it doesn't show "service battery" but my concern is, or not, it was a real problem? Communities and the videos I have looked at do not explain as "what happens next".

    It should be fine now that you have reset your SMC and things seem to work normally. If the problem persists contact the Apple Support. These things can happen over time. Make sure not to overload your battery as you can. Also it setting auto-dormir once a certain amount of time will help preserve the life of your screen and the battery.

  • My iPhone 4 is dead. I loaded an hour then tried the power reset but not joy.

    My iPhone 4 is dead. I loaded an hour then tried the power reset but not joy.

    I'm going to assume that your iPhone 4 no is not in warranty, otherwise you'd be on the Apple Store, right?  I also assume that you are not interested to pay the service battery $ 79 or $ 199 iPhone 4 warranty exchange for a device that is worth less than $100 (U.S. prices)

    So so let's solve the problems.
    When was the last time it works well?

    An iPhone 4 is old enough, and if it has been inactive for a while, then it is possible to lose load under the level at which it is able to charge the battery.  The battery has a logic board little teeny buried in the packaging of the battery that dictates the charging process.  There is really no energy, the battery doesn't have enough juice to be able to tell itself to charge when the charger is connected.

    If the phone has relatively recently been works well, then start troubleshooting in the charging port.  Is your refill clean?  Try to clean with alcohol to 99% and a q tip.  If that doesn't resolve, then you need more information - there are some ammeters really convenient usb little inexpensive that you can plug into a charger, then the unit and he will tell you exactly how much, if any, current load appliance pulls.  An iPhone 4 with normal charging system should draw on 1 ampere.   If yours is pulling 1 amp and shows still do not display, try to connect to iTunes to see if your device is recognized.  If this is the case, then you need solve a display problem, not a problem of load.

    If your closer 0 amp, then you need to open your phone and troubleshoot the battery and dock connector.    A lot of DIY resources out there for you help with this, just a google search away.

    A trip to an independent repair facility will also help you to go down on the problem.  Pick one that stands out for its work with the great review, great warranty and someone who is willing to look at this iPhone 4 with a no solution = no fee policy.

  • Plug-and - icon representing a lightning, black screen, mac stops

    This has happened twice now, at random.  Once was on the charger.  Stop, and then after that I disconnected and returned shortly after, he started.   Had a charge of 60%. Second time was on the battery.  Had a charge of 23%. After that I waited a few minutes and plugged, it worked again, and my programs returned to the screen.

    The first time it happened I just change in first.  The second time, I saw a project from creation to a TV via HDMI. However, I don't think that this is the first, because I edit regularly and it never closes, even with multiple programs running.

    I get a warning on battery, but the computer is less than 1000 cycles of power.

    The world is - that sound familiar at all?

    The fact that the battery has not reached 1000 cycles is irrelevant.  The notification of "Service battery" should prompt you the MBP rated at an Apple store genius bar.  The exam will be FREE.
