My battery on my macbook pro all of a sudden keeps using the battery power really quickly, so I am having to rechareg it constantly. Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it. I have used all the energy saving tips.

Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it. This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening. Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.

MacBook Pro

The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.


Cheers,
