Hi... Can anyone help me with this weird problem please ?
Basically (quite often) when i open the lid of my Macbook Air when it has been asleep for a number of hours without the charger plugged in the batter shows up as 0% (even if it had a good charge before) and goes straight to sleep.
If i plug in the charger and take it out of sleep battery shows as a VERY low mAh (250 - 750) using a battery app and the battery meter says REPLACE NOW. The battery apps report it as a low health (3 - 7 %)
It also remains 0% and says charging.
Anyway, close the lid again and remove the power lead. Open the lid again and the battery is a normal charge again (in this case 89%) and says i have over 4200mAh and battery condition reported as normal.
The battery has just over 400 cycles and is reported to be 83% healthy using 2 different battery apps.
So cut a long story short, Mac asleep few hours open lid and 0% unhealthy (almost dead) battery. Close lid plug in power unplug power and open lid and battery back to normal.
Background... It is a late 2008 Macbook Air 2,1.. 2GB Ram, 128GB SSS, 1.6Ghz Core2Duo running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
Recent changes: About 2 months ago I replaced the dying 120GB SATA hard drive to the 128GB SSD but everything worked well until 2 days ago with regards to this battery issue.
I have tried restting the SMC but the problem persists.
