Hi acoop2,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I recommend starting with these steps if your MacBook Pro battery is not charging reliably:

Built-In Diagnostic Tools


A great place to start when troubleshooting battery issues is the built-in diagnostics that are available on your Mac notebook. Review the following articles for more information on using diagnostics.


My battery is not charging


Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer. For assistance identifying the proper adapter, review Intel Based Mac notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord--US. Additional adapter troubleshooting is available in Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. If issues persist please reset the SMC.

All the best,
