Why is my battery not charging?
I ordered a battery several weeks ago and everything had been working fine. But last night, I left my mac charging and this morning woke up to see that the battery had not been charged. It is still at 86%, where it was last night. When I click on the battery icon, it says that, "Battery is not charging". The power source is the power adapter.
The battery has 5 cycles on it and the condition is Normal.
This is the second issue within the month that I've had with this battery. Very frustrating.
How can I resolve this issue? Is this a defect of the battery?
Cette question est-elle utile ?
I think that it more than likely is the battery itself, I am assuming you've tried an SMC reset already. Are you using a genuine charger? A lot of the "replacement" chargers are known to cause these sort of issues..

Download this great little app! CoconutBattery see what it tells you and post a screen snapshot of the main window for us to see. Ajout d'images à une question existante maybe there is something deeper going on here. Post one image with the charger connected and one without.

The strangest thing just happened - when I took out the charger from my mac, it completely shut off immediately. And it didn't turn back on unless it was hooked to a charger. I think the battery is defective. I'm going to return it. Thanks again for all the help.

So I just took the new battery out and put my old battery (with over 1000 cycles) back into my mac air. Voila - the mac no longer shuts off when the charger is taken out. All the issues are resolved - except, of course, the high battery cycle. I'm going to return this battery and then just go to an apple store and have it replaced there. At least I gave it a shot. Thanks again for all the input.
