Hey there! I have a 2 and a half years old MBA that is not charging... I've tried to leave it charging for hours without luck :(

The thing is I haven't used it for a few weeks and the the battery was depleted. Since then I'm getting this message, even though the battery has only 94 cycles.

It may be possible that during this time the battery may have discharged below the save minimum voltage and the battery management may prevent the battery from charging. Nothing much that can be done. If the battery indeed is in need of replacement, it could swell and become a fire hazard.
