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

Rechargeable Battery - 15-inch MacBook Pro
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

Good Book - Bad Battery

15% health after just 40+ cycles. I think that summarizes it quite well. I don't know what is the limit to get these under warranty? Luckily my company pays for new batteries but it's still a disgrace to ruin such a good computer with this kind of battery. I wish things have gotten better with the latest unibody model, which is still strange to me why the battery isn't easily interchangeable? …More

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

Does it harm the battery or reduce battery life, to use the AC adaptor for extended periods while the battery is fully charged?
- Asked by DM from Millville
- 28-Oct-2009
Best Answer
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.

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
