Computer shutting down fully instead of going to sleep
Hello. I have recently acquired a White Unibody MacBook (Mid 2010, 2.4 GHz, MN A1342) that came with a replacement third party battery in serious need of a proper calibration. The issue I am having is, when the battery gets very low, the computer shuts down completely rather than just going to sleep, which has resulted in data loss in a few cases. I have reset the SMC twice and have followed numerous sets of steps to calibrate the battery. I am supposedly required to allow the MacBook to drain battery while using it until it automatically goes to sleep, and then allow the computer to sleep for a few hours, but being that it shuts down instead, this hinders that process.
Hopefully someone has an idea to why this is happening. I’ve had similar issues with a now defunct MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid-2009) that had a worn battery, if that helps.
Thanks.
Is this a good question?
