For the past couple months I’ve been having some real problems with my Macbook Pro just shutting down when it goes to reserve power rather then gracefully shutting down and going into an automatic suspend where it restarts loading the cached memory like it never shut down at all. A huge feature I’ve been missing and had been too lazy to figure out. Then in the last few weeks it’s been just shutting down anywhere from 45 minutes to a full hour before the battery was supposed to run out. Extremely annoying when you are writing something and your work is completely lost. I was prepared to send the entire macbook pro back to Apple but instead I checked out if I was eligible for the battery recall that I remembered was such a edia blitz a while back and I then noticed the battery had swelled up. So I filled out the online form for a replacement.
The great news is, I finally have a fully working macbook pro thanks to Apple shipping the replacement overnight for free. I’m clocking about 3 hours of battery life compared to the 1.5-2 spontaneous hours I had just a few days ago. I also ordered another battery which I’ve heard good things about.
This is a prime example of participating in battery recalls instead of just ignoring them. It could have been a lot worse and my lap could have been destroyed or our house burnt down.
