How to fix battery issue on MBP 13" (2nd battery of 2019)
Hello!
My 2010 13” MacBook Pro is advising to replace battery. It’s on its second iFixit-supplied battery this year.
According to the System Report, the battery is fully charged (slightly overcharged, according to CoconutBattery screenshot). However, disconnecting MagSafe while system is powered on, it shuts down abruptly. Further, with MagSafe disconnected, system will not power up. I’ve reconnected battery, reset SMC, charged overnight (approx. 12hrs): Nothing’s working. For what it’s worth, the battery does look a bit swollen.
I discovered the issue about three days ago. Battery seemed fine less than a month ago.
Should I give another battery a chance? Could this be the result of improperly calibrated battery? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
My MacBook Pro is closing in on a decade, perhaps it’s time to move on?
