Does this battery automatically hibernate the Macbook Pro when it gets too low ? or does it just die?

To be honest I haven't let it go to that point. It seems to run alittle warm. But to be fair this is my first MAC. So I don't know what to expect. I am learning as I go. A friend help me find the battery so I went with his opinion

It hibernates... You need to connect to an external power source if it is almost or completely drained but it will restart where you left off. BTW... This Anker battery is great and Anker customer support is outstanding.

I also have an ASUS gamers republic and purchased this battery to charge my monster laptop but..... it did and it didn't... (let me explain) if laptop was open and you were using it wouldn't charge at all!but once you close it and it goes into hibernate it charges fine. I was a bit disappointed by the fact this was the only reason I got this battery, however this monster will charge your cell what seems to be infinite times before you have to recharge..... only way I drain this bad boy quickly is by charging my cell and Bose sound link mini all and all I am very happy with it :)

The battery that came with it lasted about a year. I bought a replacement from my local Mac dealer and it holds it's charge longer, it cost a bit more but worth the extra money.

The cooler does not continue to run if you 'hibernate' or 'shut down' your laptop. I only turn it off if put it on 'sleep'.

I used it on the current MacbookPro model without an issue. I just trust the quality of it. I've had two replaced so far because they didn't work right out of the box. I'm waiting for the third one to stop working.

Not very long. When first installed, a charge would last approximately 90 minutes; which is about the same as the original six year old battery from Apple. Less than one year later, this replacement battery is literally unable to hold any charge. Unplug the power adapter and the laptop immediately goes dark.

sorry not to answer your question directly but be I wanted to warn you that this drive only lasted 10 months before dying when installed on a macbook pro 2010 model. if you comb through other reviews you'll see the same report by others.

I installed the 500 G into my 2008 MacBook Pro on 3/28/12. It's quiet, fast, and has been excellent. Zero problems. I use the MBP every day running the battery (replaced once) down to 6-15% watching a movie in the evening. AC during the day for full recharge. Does the HD run all the time? I really don't know. I can't hear it. I have four 500 G externals that are used for backups (but not often enough :-( ). They are WD devices and I've have no problems with them either. I like the 500 size over any T sizes for reasons of redundancy. I double info onto the 500s, i.e. two 500s for the same back-up, thus if one goes down, I have a dupe. More than you wanted to know.

I works fine with my 2012 MBP 13". I wonder when someone says it damaged their battery what they mean. It's a standard voltage and even so the battery inside has a voltage regulator so I have no clue how that could happen...

Well unfortunately I can not answer that question, as my storEdge was defective right out of the box. The case was the computer would not see it after I would close the MBP down but I am not sure if that is because the card was defective or that's just how it is. So hopefully someone with a functional storEdge card can answer that for you.

Does the same thing happen when you close the lid? I'm thinking that you might have your computer set up to turn off or sleep when the lid is closed. Otherwise, I would suspect that your battery connectors lose contact when jarred and shut the machine down. That is definately not normal, and should be fixed ASAP. The abrupt shutdowns can cause problems.

I would love to know as well because when I bought it it had the best reviews but I know for a fact the charge only lasts over an hr. As a matter of fact my MacBook is constantly plugged in.

Fits perfectly for me. I have the same model. Over a year old and no problems. Currently 68 loadcycles and current capacity is 6867 mAh (Design capacity is 6900 mAh) On a sidenote, I do use it more as a desktop and have it plugged in most of the time. I work primarily on graphics/digital illustrations and have many devices/hubs connected to the mbp so it eats up a lot of juice.

I bought this battery for my macbook pro and haven't had any problems =/ Many other reviews seem to indicate that folks were relatively pleased, so my guess would be that you got a bad battery =/ Sorry - good luck!

yes, you need to change the power settings for the laptop not to hybernate when you close the lid and it works fine.

I've had this MacBook Pro since January, 2011 and it still has the original battery. Currently it can run approximately 4.5 hours on the battery with light usage such as email and web browsing. Watching videos will shorten the time considerably. This is an old model, newer ones are better.

I actually was helping a friend with this battery and it was my only exposure to Apple products. The battery installed easily, was immediately recognized by the laptop and the vendor provided clear instructions for what might be called "conditioning". We followed their instructions discharging the battery in several cycles and did nothing else. At this point it's performance has been flawless but it has only been about 1.5 months and he has not even used the laptop on battery power . Sorry I can't be more helpful.
