MacBook Battery Replacement
macOS tracks your battery's health and cycle count. When it says 'Service Recommended', or the Mac shuts down well before 0%, the battery is usually worn out. A swollen battery can push the trackpad up or warp the bottom case — that needs attention promptly.
MacBook batteries are glued in on most models, so replacement takes care and the right adhesive removal process.

What to expect
- We're an independent repairer. We're not Apple and not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and repairs by an independent repairer may affect any remaining Apple warranty or AppleCare coverage — check your coverage first.
- macOS may show a message about the battery being non-genuine depending on part source; we'll explain the options.
- Swollen batteries can damage the trackpad — we'll check it too.
Frequently asked questions
How many cycles should a MacBook battery last?
Apple rates most modern MacBook batteries for about 1,000 cycles, but heat and usage patterns affect real-world life.
Is a swollen battery dangerous?
It can be. Stop charging it, keep it on a hard surface and get it replaced.
Can it be done at my place?
Often, yes, once the battery has been ordered for your model.
