MacBook Pro :: Why Is Battery Dying So Quickly - It Has Only 94 Cycles

May 23, 2012

My MacBook Pro is 1 year old, almost to the day and my battery seems to be loosing all it's juice quite quickly these days. The battery cycle count is only 94. This morning I turned my computer on and I've only done emails. It's now about 4 hours since it's been on and I have 20% battery left. Bluetooth is turned off. Not doing anything any different than I used to. Seems to me the battery used to last 4 days for what I do with the computer. Now I charge it 2 or 3 times a day. I notice the underside of the laptop seems to get quite hot.

MacBook Pro :: Battery Dying Even While Plugged In During Gaming

Jul 2, 2014

I play a game called League of Legends which is fairly computer intensive. While playing, my battery continues to discharge continuously even though I have it plugged into the wall. I can usually get 3-4 games in before I have to stop and let the battery recharge. I have already decreased the screen brightness to half, turned off the keyboard back-light, and made sure that bluetooth was off yet the issue persists. I have noticed that the light on the charger seems to change colors often. It will cycle from green to orange to off then back to green again etc.

I have an early 2012 15" Macbook Pro with the latest version of Mavericks OS.

MacBook Pro :: PRAM Battery Dying On 38th Week 2009?

Apr 4, 2012

Now normally I wouldn't expect it in an under 4 year old machine, but the normal battery is working as expected.  However, when I'm not plugged into power, my WiFi doesn't always reconnect, and when it does, the internet doesn't seem to connect either 90% of the time.  When I'm plugged into power, no problem.  3 other machines on the same wireless network have no issues with it, though my cable company says they are detecting intermittent signal loss, which I can't reproduce on any other machine.  The other reason I believe it is the PRAM battery and not the main battery, is during one reboot, the date reset itself to year 2000.  Once I managed to reconnect the internet, I was able to set the date & time to the time server.

MacBook :: Battery Cycles?

Dec 2, 2010

My Macbook's battery has done 902 cycles and is on 92% health.

I was just wondering - even though I know it's impossible to predict the life-span of a computer battery - a) how accurate that reading is (I use the iStat Pro widget) and b) ignoring the health reading, is it time to buy a new battery when it hits 1000 cycles?

The health has gone down from 100% to 92% in the space of about 3 months? Maybe more. Is that a sign that I should change it?

MacBook Pro :: Cycles On And Off When Using Battery

Aug 23, 2014

The MacBook Pro is a 13' unit. it was replaced with a SSD drive.  The battery has 327 charging cycles on it.  Sometimes when using battery only the machine will start to boot up, will get the logo then immediately shut down, screen goes black then the process continues, once I connect the AC power the Macbook boots correctly.  Should also mention that the circuit board that controls the charging of the battery was also replaced (outside of warranty period) several months ago as well.

MacBook Pro :: Battery Capacity 87% After 51 Cycles

Sep 3, 2010

My AppleCare expires on Monday September 6th, and I am wondering if my 87% capacity at 51 battery cycles suggests I should visit an Apple Store this weekend? The closest store is around 25 miles away, so if I would be wasting my time, I would rather not take the trip. My concern is mostly based on my warranty ending. This is a 2009 13" MBP.

MacBook :: Battery Load Cycles?

Jan 27, 2009

Just wondering, but how rare is it to have a battery that lasts 3 times longer than the "rated cycle amount"? Apparently this battery should have been dead 600 cycles ago... I am finally now noticing a slight loss in overall battery life.

I have used this MacBook 100% of the time since the day I have gotten it over two years ago. Is this why it has lived so long?

MacBook :: Brand New Battery - 15 Cycles Already?

Feb 26, 2009

My macbook battery broke 500 cycles, and the battery life was at about half what it used to be so I ordered what was described as a brand new battery from Westronics, through Amazon. I put the new battery in the machine and checked System Profiler, and it is telling me that the battery has 15 cycles on it already. iStat Nano says the same thing. Is this normal for a new battery to have cycles on it already? Or did I not get a new battery? I just want to make sure I got what I paid for.

MacBook Pro :: 87% Battery Capacity After 56 Cycles?

Mar 1, 2010

I get ready for the next disappointment tomorrow (maybe no MBP update) and looking out for a MBP at eBay. I've found a good one (August 2009) 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500GB HDD etc. for round about 900� (1.200$) (in Germany we pay 1533� for this model so round about 2088$). The guy sent me a screenshot of the battery capacity which is 87% (4762mAh) after 56 loadcycles. Is that acceptable? IMO it's a bit too low - what do you think? Maybe I'm going to buy a AppleCare Protection Plan afterwards ... would the battery be covered?

MacBook :: Battery With 828 Charge Cycles - Unsafe?

Nov 30, 2010

I received a Black 2.4GHz MacBook that I bought on eBay a few days ago to add to my collection. The battery reports 828 charge cycles, and has about 82% of it's original charge capacity, and still lasts a good 2.5 hours. What I want to know is, is it unsafe to use it like this? Apple Battery FAQ doesn't not really say when to replace the battery, besides when it doesn't hold that good of a charge anymore.
Should I be worried?

MacBook Air :: Battery Health Drop After 100 Cycles?

Aug 5, 2009

I noticed this in my previous Rev. A. After 100 cycles, my health dropped from 98% -> 92-94%. Now on my Rev. C, I'm at 136 cycles and my health dropped from 99% -> 92%.

I calibrated my battery already, but is the MBA's battery just purposely dropping health after a certain cycle count or what?

MacBook :: 91% Battery Life After 30 Charge Cycles?

Mar 18, 2010

I noticed that my MacBook doesn't run as long as it used to before I have to charge it again. I downloaded CoconutBattery, and it tells me that my battery is down to 91% of its original capacity after only 30 charge cycles. It's 5 months old according to CB, and I bought it new on Dec. 24th. (It's a Unibody White...) Is this normal, or should I take it into the Apple Store for a replacement?
