    Help with an external battery.

    Hello community! My girlfriend has just bought an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which seems to be a great phone. However, the phone is not new, and was bought in a local store. It has 87% battery capacity. Because she will travel often during the week, I decided to buy her a power bank. Anker's seems to...

    Battery replacement - or new watch?

    I have a Series 4 which I’ve owned for 3.5 years now. It still does everything I need but, predictably, the battery life is starting to become a problem near the end of the day, with battery health currently at 81%. Apple will replace the battery for £80 (I don’t fancy using a third party...

    Battery drain during sleep on M1 Pro

    Hi all I closed the lid on my MacBook M1 Pro (14inch if that makes a difference) yesterday evening. Safari was the only open programme. I don't have wifi at the moment so it wasn't connected to wifi, so it wasn't getting mail etc. When I opened it in the morning it had drained around 15% (see...

    Can I replace the battery in a Siri Remote 1st gen?

    Is it possible to replace the battery without breaking anything? Or is it glued (?) shut forever? If so, how about recycling the battery? I've had this remote for almost six years, so no wonder the original battery is worse for wear by now. Still, the remote works fine.

    MacBook Pro 2019 i9 lasts less than an hour?!

    Hi guys, After upgrading to Ventura, I was working one evening on my couch when I saw this on my touch bar: 30% left with 16 Minutes remaining... So a short calculation 16min / 30% = 0,53min/% = 53min of battery life?? I know that the battery is not that great and I saw threads with people...

    Hey everyone! Past couple of nights, my iPhone 14 pro max would drain completely overnight. The first night, it was before I ran the update to iOS 16.3, so I thought updating my phone would fix the issue but it happened again this morning. As you can see in the screenshot attached, it’s not a...

    MacBook Air 2015 (13") replacement battery? Anyone done one lately?

    my 2015 Air (13", 8gb, 128Gb) actually sat in a warehouse for three years before I picked it up in Oct 2018 "as new" (the story was they'd been bought by local govt for a project that never happened). I knew it was a risk but actually it's lasted really well into Jan 2023. The battery cycle...

    Does Apple still replace the battery on a 2015 MacBook Pro

    Hey everyone, my apologies if this question has been asked before. I need to service my 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro. The computer is working fine, although I need to service the battery since its nearly 7 years old. Does Apple still service this machine or should I look for a 3rd party repair? :)

    Battery is swelling

    My MacBook's battery seems to be swelling cause it’s lower lid is out of place, it’s no longer firmly closed! Might a possible explosion be something to be worried about?

    iPad Pro iPad losing charge while plugged in?

    I usually only use it while it's plugged in, but I do unplug it for several hours every day to not have it sit in the charger 24/7. But around a month ago, I noticed that I was losing battery charge as I was using my iPad while it was plugged in? I tried unplugging and plugging it back in again...

    2013 MacBook Pro 13" - does this model have a CMOS battery?

    Issue is, if the MBP regular battery drains all the way down, it loses the date/time and defaults to something like Dec 31, 2000 (can't remember the specific date). I know in some models this used to be maintained by a separate small battery called a CMOS battery, but I wasn't sure if that was...
