MacBook Air 2013 to 2011 battery compatibility?

Hello everyone,

I have a mid-2011 macbook air that requires a battery replacement (it says service battery and its capacity has reduced to about 70%).

Now, its startled me that the new 2013 macbook air, which has a 7150mAh capacity battery is not compatible with the mid-2011 model according to ifixit.com.

I'm just finding it a bit difficult to understand why that may be the case, the capacity of my battery when it was new was 6700mAh and I thought that I would be able to replace it with the 2013 battery which is exactly the same physical size and shape..

What do you guys think? Am I missing something here? Could it be something to do with the CPU current?

You can contact someone at iFixit (link on the bottom of the page)..this is the volunteer DIY help forum. The parts catalogue here says they don't work... a seller on ebay claims theirs do.

Even if it does fit it will not provide any significant (i.e. noticeable) change in use time on an older machine... much of the efficiency is due to the HASWELL low energy infrastructure CPU architecture by INTEL CPU and GPU/display changes.

It's sort of like saying... a new Chevy (or pic your automotive brand) gets more horsepower, or, better milage on brand XXX high test gasoline. I'll put the same gas in my two year old same brand and expect the same horsepower/milage... it ain't gonna happen. The new vehicle can have more plastic, different tires, improved fuel management computer... you need all the same pieces in place to get a near equal end result.
