Hi, I don't know anything about the battery health or cycles and I need help. My computer needs to be always connected to the charger. Now its fully charged but still says: Replace now.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Then replace the battery. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
BTW, I don't see a "replace battery" warning in your screen shot. Perhaps you should use a different battery utility. Furthermore, you should check this while using the battery, if possible, not while using the charger.
Kappy, look at the menu bar - it states "Condition: Replace Now" and "Battery is Not Charging" ⚠.
Note however I'd try disconnecting the charger for about ten minutes and reconnecting it as I've had false "Replace Now" indications before.
Thanks for the help. The computer immediately turns off when I unplug the charger. My charger cable is damaged, someone told me that this could be a problem. BTW the battery indicator, all the LEDs flash 5 times. I want to be 100% sure if I need to replace the battery before buying a new one.
Bring it in to the Genius Bar, the diagnosis is FREE and they will tell you your options.
Also bring your charger as well, if you have a damaged cable you should replace the charger.
A bad charger is a good reason for your problem.
Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
