    Batteries stinks!!!

    I bought my MacBook Pro 3 months ago and everything was fine until a few weeks when my computer started to shut down without any advertisement. Right now I can not work on my mac if it is not connected to electricity power. I thik that Apple should be aware of the problem and replace all this kind of batteries. More

    Poor quality.

    Written by JS from London

    11-Feb-2007

    I bought a MacBook pro six months ago in July 2006, the battery life decreased to about 1.5 hours life after a full charge after 70 cycles (Apple's support site claims that the batterys are designed to retain 80% of their original charge after 300 cycles). The MacBook also started to shut-off power completely without warning (loosing any unsaved work). After 85 "cycles" the battery started getting extremely hot, warped, and now does not hold any charge at all. More

    Dreadful battery!

    Written by HC from Westcliff-on-sea

    24-Nov-2009

    I'm on my second MacBook Pro but on my fourth or fifth battery :-( The battery life is dreadful! I'm now having to use my MacBook Pro on AC power all the time because otherwise it shuts off without warning within a few minutes. I lost some valuable work when it first did that. £100 for another battery. This is ridiculous, Apple! Your computers are great but my husband has a PC that is quite a few years old and has never had to change the battery. Is this a deliberate ploy by Apple to make more money?? More

    extremely dissapointing

    Written by TN from London

    23-Nov-2009

    I was so thrilled to be the owner of a spanking new macbook pro 15' back at the end of 2007. Im a great believer of "you get what you pay for" - well I have been proved wrong. Having spent 1600 pounds back then I would expect the battery to last longer than under two years. My battery lost all charge and all shape and no longer fits in the hole for the battery. To me that is faulty - to apple an excuse to make yet more money (like applecare - to me that is our product is rubbish you will need to pay for an extended warranty!) and by the looks of things i'm not the only one in this situation - am being left very very dissapointed and feeling perhaps I should have gone for a PC after all!

    Doesn't last the distance

    Written by DO from Dublin 7

    22-Nov-2009

    I bought my Mac Book Pro in Aug 06. Unfortunately it arrived with a faulty battery and CD drive which both failed after 4 months or so.

    I got a replacement battery but this is also failing now, so not sure sure if 3 years is a good time for laptop battery. I dont use it that much. Also the charger lead burns out after 3 years.

    Cost to replace: battery €139 and lead €89. Not great

  • is this the A1175?
    • Asked by TH from Medstead
    • 07-Oct-2009
    Best Answer

    The 1175 fit the 15", so select the 15" size for the newer MA458LL/A and you'll be good. And be sure to download the battery firmware updates for your particular laptop model, if you haven't. You can do that before you install the new battery. I'd add the links to the pages here on apple's support sites that discusses those updates but apple won't let me do that within these answers. Just google "EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs" and you'll find them. More

    As I recently found out, yes indeed it does. I have been leaving my MBP power adapter/charger cord connected for extended periods of time, and just last week when going through the new system pref's of Snow Leopard I say a triangle with an ! inside it in the energy saver/ battery pref's. I asked a friend that works at the local Apple store about it, and his words were "Dude, you killed your battery". I now get at most an hour before the battery low warning pops up.

    And all along I have been doing the battery cycling on a monthly basis.

    Bummer Man!

  • What is the warranty on a replacement battery?
    • Asked by CK from Tampa
    • 09-Oct-2009
    Best Answer

    "Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your replacement coverage for a defective battery to three years from the date of your notebook purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan. However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect. Apple offers a battery replacement service for MacBook Air and all MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries. You can purchase replacement batteries for late models of Apple notebooks directly from the Apple Store." More
