Battery on charger doesn't display that it's being charged until changing preferences, why is that and what can I do? battery on other hand is good.

That's going to be a software issue on your Mac, not an issue with the battery itself. As long as it's holding a charge, the issue shouldn't be with the battery. I would suggest contacting AppleCare regarding the icon issue.

The battery is kinda hard to get in the charger. If you get it in correctly you will see what looks like 4 small batteries. If any one of the batteries are flashing it's still charging. When all 4 batteries are on and not flashing the battery is charged.

When you first plug it in, the charging symbol should show up on the screen. If it doesn't, use the AC adaptor. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad battery, or a problem with the unit itself.

You cannot set charging current, it does display battery capacity as in remaining charge, and it will discharge as will as charge.

I never see green on the charger, either. Eventually, the red LED blinks, and I get 3 bars on the battery itself with the self-test button.

My battery charger did the exact same thing, it doesn't seem to affect the charge at all so after awhile I just assumed that was how it was supposed to be.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

First Check , if The Battery Charger is working properly & whether the Battery is Faulty or not. If Both are working as they should, then Put in a Claim with your INSURANCE Company or Contact the Seller or Amazon

When I was having trouble with my old battery, it sometimes took 30 seconds or so for the laptop to recognize and display that it was charging. If yours doesn't respond within that amount of time, I would return it, as already recommended.

Usually it is the battery. Take a battery you know is still chargeable and see if it recharges.

Do you leave your battery on the charger when it's fully charged ? If yes its probably won't keep a charge and needs to be replaced .

When you charge it, it will go by percentage rate of charge and when it hits 100 percent it will show it. It will look like a battery when fully charged with the percentage signs in there. You might have to play with the prongs to get it start charging. When you slide the battery in make sure one is on the plus and minus areas on the battery contact points.

Mine did the same thing. It is charging, but the software doesn't recognize it. I installed an app called "coconut battery" to tell me when it was fully charged.

Make sure the battery is placed correctly. When I found the battery has not been charged is usually due to not placing it correctly into the charger

It may not be the battery, it may be the phone, or the battery charger itself. I would have them both checked.

Sounds like you could have a bad battery if it's only at 10.9v. (One bad cell?) What percentage charged does the unit show when first turned on? The voltage of the charger should initially go to ~14v-15v when first turned on. Can you test the charger on a known good battery?
