Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my MacBook battery myself?
Yes, you can replace your MacBook battery yourself. iFixit provides free step-by-step repair guides for every MacBook and sells DIY Battery Fix Kits for MacBooks ranging from the 2010 MacBook Air 13", to the 2022 MacBook Pro 13" (M2). These kits include all the necessary tools and parts to replace your battery.
How easy is it to replace my MacBook Pro battery myself?
Battery replacements for most MacBook Pros released after 2011 are not simple. In 2012, Apple introduced its MacBook Pro Retina, a non-upgradable machine with a glued down battery. Battery replacements for these Pros through the 2020 models require a lot of caution and patience—but they're definitely doable with the right tools, instructions, and adhesive removal techniques.
Luckily, starting in 2021, MacBook Pro batteries are now held to the case with stretch-release adhesive pull tabs, something a regular person can remove without special tools or chemicals. The rest of the repair and disassembly process involves handling screws, connectors, clips, components, and cables, and is generally straightforward.
How easy is it to replace my MacBook Air battery myself?
MacBook Air battery replacements are a lot easier compared to their Pro counterparts. Models released before 2018 featured batteries that could be replaced by removing the case, disconnecting the battery, and removing some screws.
Starting with the 2018 MacBook Air, the battery is now held by adhesive pull tabs. Still, repairs for MacBook Airs are straightforward and generally require the fixer to handle screws, connectors, cables, clips, and other internal components.
