Thx man for the vid, but what was the main issue with the battery? I got a brand new battery (Not genuine Apple one) and dead after 3 cycles only, after disconnecting the charger for once since i installed it, and when the Mac was unplugged last time the charging was dropping instantly!
Question: I think most people here do not have a proff power supply. Would it work with a standard AC-DC power supply, that gives 11volt and 1 ampere??
This video was extremely helpful! Thankfully Apple didn't designed it's battery pack to be so complicated where it would prevent us charging the battery manually. This means we would never need to charge the battery using apple products, instead we can use a $1-$3 small BMS chip, do some little hard wiring with the battery, and charge the internal battery manually with zero effort after modifications using the BMS chip. Drill a tiny hole in the macbook side for the new charging cable.
Are there still no bms that have a battery rescue mode? I would bring it up a bit slower than that. 0.4A. Is there no BMS inside the battery? Why would you take the connector to pieces when you can just stick 2 pieces of wire down the holes. kegs from resistors work well! I'm trying this now on a 2009 13" macbook pro. I'm using 0.3A initially. For some reason this battery was fine but after pulling it out from the draw after 2 months it was 100% dead. No voltages across any pins. I found this strange. The laptop must have been sleeping or something without me realising. Yes. Confirmed. I charged to 10.4 and it is now charging with orange lamp.
Hello. I have a MacBook air 2015 with the same problem. Battery healthy, 86 cycles, but no charging. But the connection to the motherboard is not really the same. The plastic is melted with the pins. This method works with my model if I just find the way to touch the 2 extreme pins? Im not sure which is the + but maybe an electrician will figure it out?
Hi, I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 . The battery wont' charge after a shutdown period of approximatively 6 months. When running coconut battery, it saids that the battery is at 86% of it's initial health, with only 250 cycle counts. However, the macbook thinks it's dead, and it advises me to replace it. (Well done planned obsolescence !). I've tried SMC and PRAM reset as adviced by many, but without no success. Just to be sure : does your method works with my model ? I do not own such power suply, but I'll seek for one. Thanks a lot !
@@jrepair5543 hi, can you help, please? is there anything that can be done with the battery condition "replace now"? it shows 49 cycles. i dont want to pay a lot of money for a battery for a 12 year old macbook. can i disassemble it somehow and make it work? anything at all that can be done to resuscitate the battery? or maybe..could downgrading OS help? once i had a battery on my windows 8 laptop which was not charging well. once i formatted the drive and installed win 7, the battery started working 100%.. but i don't know macs and how they work. thanks a lot

Ok is that valid for new oem batteries from china? Because they are depleted on the way from china and then it cant be used so can we jumpstart that kind of battery?
hello can you wake up the battery from macbook air 2010-2017? after flooding the battery, I get blocked and I do not want to charge even though she did not get a drop of water
Hi, i got a mac like this. Issue like you, green light and not charge, badly my mac won't start, fan not spin. I try everything like wash my ram and board, reset smc, use control comman... But my mac never start :( I just ask you 1 thing, the mac will start whithout battery? This is firts time i am using mac.
Hi just wondering how one can tell if it is the battery thats faulty vs the battery charging slot on motherboard? I need to know this before i purchase a new battery. Thanks
Did not work for me. Used a 10.9V 6A power supply with A1322 battery, and the process did charge the battery to 2% but it did NOT change the battery condition , it remained unchargeable. I tried it with two different 3rd party batteries that were new (1-2 cycles) but were never been able to charge with my macbook.
That has to be because you have a faulty SMC chip in your motherboard or most likely the IC chip is faulty in your MagSafe charger's Tip. The charger's Tip has 5 pins, the middle pin talks to the macbook and tells it to charge the battery. That middle pin could have no contact with the macbook or inside the charger's Tip, the IC chip could be damaged. But as long you can manually charge the battery is a good thing since you can buy a $1 BMS chip to charge your macbook battery. A little effort in hard wiring is needed. The BMS chip needs to know when it should stop charging the macbook battery.
@@sto2779 you sound like you know a thing or 2. My macbook pro mid2015 battery is flat and wont charge, sometimes it would not charge but restarting the laptop cured it, this time the battery is too flat to even turn on. I am unsure if its the charger or the battery itself. If my charger was good, would i have been able to charge the battery? Or is there a thing in the battery telling my charger to not work? Battery glued in, is it possible to disconnect it which may possibly reset the battery to allow me to charge? Is it simple? Do i need a new battery? I am so lost on what to do. I dont know anyone with a charger i could try...

I didnt try yet, but looks promising. the condition look exaclty like mine!!!, Thanks for an awsome video!!!
Thank you for sharing this, it works for me
You must have fancy expensive equipment there huh

The music playing sounds like it belongs in the film "Napoleon Dynamite".
Is that prince song purple rain playing in the background
I think :)
hey man! tried with my psi but didn't work, can't regulate amps, just volts, would that have to do with that? which model is your psu? thanks!!!
Awesome 👍😁

2010 battery? Positive and ground wires in the same place??
Thanks for awesome hack! Is it safe to do it with dc 12v 1a?
Not over 11volt .
It's simple, the computer went on strike for that crappy music it was forced to play for this video!!!
Mine won't pull any current at all.
Does it work for 1496?

Hi i had the same problem, change or make sure you have the correct watt charger
@@lucasbalviin1999 tks for ask. I am just unplug battery, hold powerbutton first and press power cable, keep holding 10s and it boot 👍
Also my psu doesn't seen to be pulling any amps...
What machine is that called?
hi can i just use the power from the magesafe to do this. Thanks
Need power supply .
May I use a ATX power instead of a professional power supply?
I haven't try this .
I tried in A1278, but without ANY SIGNAL of drain the current, NOT WORDKED. What is wrong???
The condition of the battery?
if is replace now ic is locked not drain any current.
Hi just wondering how one can tell if it is the battery thats faulty vs the battery charging slot on motherboard? I need to know this before i purchase a new battery. Thanks
If charging slot is faulty MBP can't see the battery in OS you see an X at battery icon.
@@jrepair5543 thanks
Do you think I could use 7 u 8 AAA batteries for this? I think they can reach 10.5 v and ~1 amp
No you can't.
wow
how much for the repair?
For this issue is 15 euro include vat.
