3 Simple Steps To Do In Singapore When You Receive MacBook Service Battery Warning

A proper working battery is essential for your MacBook. That’s the reason why you feel disturbed or upset when a battery service message appears. You need to have a primary understanding of how apple MacBook’s battery works and this article will help you in understanding that.

A lithium-ion Battery

These are rechargeable and have lithium ions in their electrochemistry. They last longer and have a lighter weight because of the modern technology that apple has used. A fully charged lithium-ion battery works for almost 10 hours. It has different functions in charging it charges to almost 80% auto battery capability and then moves to a slower charge. When you see the warning for battery service, you should understand that the battery needs to be replaced.

An Explanation For The Service Battery Message

There is an average of 1000 cycle charges in a MacBook battery so when it exceeds that count, you should replace it. Every model of MacBook has a slightly different charging cycle, you can find what is yours on the list of apple products. When this message arrives, you should check the system reports. Then you should consult a genuine apple store for a replacement of the battery.

When You Ignore The Service Battery Message

It is strongly recommended that you don’t ignore the service battery message because it damages your computer hardware. It can even prove dangerous as the battery can bloat and damage the aluminum structure of your laptop. Sparks or a small fire can be possible which will not be easily addressed.

Is It Safe For Me To Install My Laptop’s Battery Myself?

Most people see that the MacBook battery is expensive because it can set you back nearly S$100. That’s why they try to save the installation cost by trying it on their own. When you go to an apple store, they charge you the price of the battery plus the labor expenses so you can call it quite an expensive deal.  However, you should read instructions on how to fix it by replacing the battery yourself. We still recommend that if you have some expertise in these procedures, then you should jump in to replace it otherwise you should look for professional help.

Warning! Get Battery Service

There is a function in the Apple MacBook to monitor the health of your battery constantly. This can be done by selecting the icon of the battery from the top to check the remaining charging on the battery and those apps which consume the most battery power.

There are four different messages about the status of the battery:

Normal: This means the battery is normally working.

Replace soon: This means the battery is still working but it is holding less than the usual charge.

Replace now: This means the health of your battery has degraded quite significantly but it is still moving. 

Service battery: This means the battery is not running properly and it needs to be replaced immediately.

The software should be updated
