Sorry I do not have an answer to that question. I bought this battery for my Mac book and it works fine in my unit. Sorry I can't help on this one.

It means it is a used or refurbished battery. Service Battery comes up when your battery has lost at least 1000mah. I suggest downloading a battery check (like Coconut Battery) to check how many times the battery has been charged previously. I had the same issue from multiple sellers on Amazon!

It turns out that the batteries suffer capacity fade simply from being old. I guess getting a new laptop (with a newly made battery) is a better option than trying to keep my lil mac going.

If the battery was fully charge then I think it not a battery problem. May need contact apple store for this problem.

It's because it's a third-party battery, so your Macbook doesn't like that. That's most likely all.

Please open your Macbook and remove the battery, to ensure you order correct battery, Please check battery model number on the battery. Don't order battery base on Year, and the model of laptop. This is completely wrong method to order battery.If you see battery model number listed on the batter stated "A1382" and this is the correct battery. If you see "A1321" Please do not buy this product, it will be other listing.Please search battery base on battery model number ONLY.

This battery charges just like your original Macbook battery... while installed in your Macbook, utilizing the Power Adapter that originally came with your laptop. It is a direct replacement for the battery.

This particular battery is giving me about 4-5 hours. I've had one that I got 8 hours out of. Don't know about the "service battery" alert.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

Did you purchase the correct battery? I bought this one because it was exactly the same one the was in my laptop. I have had no problem with it at all. I kind of agree with the other person that you might have the wrong battery.

Hello, no I just put this new battery in and it works great!!! I have had really good luck with it and happy I purchased it. Hope you have the same success as I have with this battery.

It might be defective and has to be exchanged. I purchased the same battery more than 6 months ago and I had no problems with it so far. I traveled a lot with my netbook and it would provide me at least 4-5 h of work from one charge every time.

Sounds faulty to me. It has been a while since I bought my replacement battery and cannot recall if I had to charge it prior to use. All I know is that mine works great. Never have had a problem.

Hello,Yes the Macbook will recognize this battery at start up. The battery will function just like the original Apple battery give or take an hour of battery usage.

Shut your computer down then try taking the battery out of the computer for a minute or so. Then put it back in. If you still get that error notice, take it to the Apple Store and ask their help. I did use my computer for 6 months after it started showing the "replace battery" message. MIT worked fine.

Not certain, but I believe they mean it's not a refurb. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any issues. Battery holds a charge as expected.

Like everyone else, my battery doesn't work and they don't do refund. It really fits on that macbook but it doesn't work.

It may be defective, or needs to be recharged; assuming it's the correct model number, and if it's installed properly. I would double check the model number of the battery, make sure the battery connections are clean, and make sure the battery is installed in the laptop properly. Once installed, make sure the battery gets a good maybe 12 hour charge. Then check to see if the battery works. Good luck.
