somethings up with my battery?

[g.t. rags]

i just got the new MBA 1.4 i5 256g

i installed coconut battery, it worked fine when i originally installed it.

restarted my computer and i get "no battery found"

and tips or trouble shooting you folks could give me would be much appreciated.

Does your OS X system tell you "no battery", or just Coconut batt?

Check in your System Information, Power tab.
Does that also tell you no battery?

You should then boot to your Diagnostic test (Restart, holding the D key), check for hardware issues. If that reports battery issues (be sure to remove Coconut battery 😀 ), try an SMC reset… http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

If that does not help, take into your local Apple "genius" for service. Should be a hardware failure, fixable under warranty.
If less than 14 days old, you should ask for a replacement MBAir.

Just remove Coconut and be happy. It does nothing but promote OCPD.
Apple won't replace the battery unless it fails so why pay any attention to cycles or capacity. Absolute useless app.

Do you have the latest version 3.0.1 from here? That version works fine for me on my 2013 MBA that is just like yours except without the CPU speed bump.

i did have the newest version, but not from that source. i deleted it off my computer last night, like i had done before, and reinstalled, but this time i got different results. ap is displaying info now.

im gonna restart to see if the problem persists

----------

no issue this time around.... maybe i just dl from a funky source?

Yeah... could be. Some of these software sites inject adware and crap into the installers, so it could be. I always try to track down the devs site and DL directly from there if I can.

You shouldnt install coconuts into macbooks. They re nogood batterys 😉
