Battery Service Warning. This one’s easy. When your MacBook tells you that it needs a new battery, you should listen to it. Click on the battery level in your top menu bar to bring down a drop-down. At the top of the menu, you’ll find the TL;DR version of your battery’s current condition. I've seen the Service Battery warning on and off for the past six months - late 2009 white Macbook (unibody, built-in battery) with 566 charge cycles. I have observed no noticeable change in battery life. So I consider myself warned, but since I'm out of warranty I see no reason to replace the battery until I experience actual symptoms.
My MacBook Air now shows a “Service Battery” warning under the battery-gauge menu. Can I ignore it, or is the battery about to die on me?A.
