iBook battery dying...

1. Andy Hewitt - 3 September 2008

   Just over two years old as well :-(

   I'm pretty sure it's dead anyway, I'm just trying a calibration, but it's flattening at the rate of about 1% charge every minute or so. I'll see how it does after the calibration, but I'm not too hopeful.

   If it does, any ideas where the best (i.e. cheapest) place to get one?

   Ooh, thanks, £34 ain't too shabby - it's less than some s/h ones on eBay.

   TWO years. Lucky you, my MBP battery started dying after 6 months (75% capacity).

   Local Apple store replaced without hesitation. But even the replacement is showing the first signs of dropping capacity :-(

   We don't die, we just stop paying taxes.

   The macbook one barely made 14 months, but the MBP one is still good after 15. The power supply has been replaced though (umm.. and the motherboard now I think of it).

   Bum, I didn't get Applecare with this one either (although the only machines I did get AC with, failed outside the warranty anyway).

   I've found a little utility that shows it's on the way out - original storage 4400mAh, current storage is about 1100mAh :-(

   I did it by post.

   But even the replacement
   is showing the first signs of dropping capacity :-(

   Hmm. Get coconutBattery onto it or something. Apple *do* listen to the test values it produces.
