10.5.7 Battery stops charging

You could always do an Archive and Install. Then just Update to 10.5.6 and stay there until someone has a solution. If your problem does not go away then you should call apple. You could also be experiencing a problem with the battery or your mag-safe charger. It could have just been bad luck that this happened after updating. How many cycles do you have on the battery?

My 2007 Macbook appears to have developed a similar problem after the 10.5.7 update. Before the update the battery was holding around 90% original charge, which is normal for a 2 year old battery. After the update, the condition of the battery, as reported by System Profiler or Coconut, fluctuates dramatically between 13 and 100 percent.

I feel it's a glitch. My battery has a similar issue. I also had roughly 90% charge going until about the time I upgraded to 10.5.7.

Since I got my Macbook Pro in November 2007, I have only gone through 11 cycles, most of the cycles were this year.

I checked "System Profiler," and this is what I found.

What should I do this get my battery back into good health?
Since I have not cycled the battery regularly, the battery will be in poor "health" ?

"The condition states: "Check Battery""
You need to contact Apple & advise them of this.

Before contacting Apple make sure you have installed the latest MBP Battery Update. That alone may fix the problem. To check go to:
HD/System/Library/SystemConfiguration & look for a file called batteryupdater.bundle. Select Get Info for the file.
If its version number is 1.2 or 1.3 you should be fine If not, or if you cannot locate a batteryupdater.bundle file (by using Spotlight, searching manually or using a 3rd party search feature) then download an update from Apple's website & install it. If installing has no effect, you probably need a new battery.
Your battery may be replaced for free. Take your computer to an Apple Store. The staff will be able to check to determine if your model MBP qualifies for the free battery program.

MacBook and MacBook Pro Battery Update 1.2








Good luck!

I have asked the HOST to remove/edit.

I have almost the same problem after updating with Firmware 1.3.
Can your problem have any connection with this update?

Same here. This (my second, the first stopped working after the Leopard update) battery is only 8 months old, 117 cycles and after the update is not working properly anymore.

I've seen a lot of other people dealing with similar problems since the end of May. Tomorrow I am going to find an Apple centre and ask them for their opinion. I’m certainly not going to buy a third battery, not in 2.5 years!

I have a toothbrush which I recharge everyday for the last 8 years and that one can still make the 2.5 minutes, which it should..

Hi Guys

same Problem to me here
my MBP was bought in november 2007.

some people here in france seem to have the same problem but the solution here seems to change the battery simply.

I wonder if there is really a link between the 10.5.7 update and the fact the battery stops charging.

nethertheless, how can i find the right battery to buy (i mean not on the appstore of course)
thank u
kemet

i just forgot to mention that when i launch coconutbattery , this soft crash down and mac ox asks me to send a report to apple ...
funny isn't t ?

Hey everyone,

Just to say that I have the exact same issue. I now have barely 1h of battery life with everything shutdown (wifi, etc...).
Any clues??
