Jan 7, 2015 7:48 AM in response to athornt1by Eustace Mendis,An X on the battery icon means the computer does not recognize that there is a battery installed. This is a signal that the battery is completely dead and you need a new battery. If your MBP is a model where the battery can be removed easily, you should take it out immediately. A dead battery can cause other damage if it swells up or leaks.
