Why MacBook batteries fail
High charge cycles over time
Every battery has a limited number of charge cycles, and MacBooks are no exception. After a few years the cells simply hold less charge. A MacBook battery replacement restores the runtime you had when the machine was new, without the cost of a whole new laptop.
Heat and heavy workloads
Running demanding apps and working in warm conditions speeds up battery wear. If your MacBook feels hot and the battery fades fast, our MacBook battery replacement pairs a fresh battery with a check of the cooling to protect your investment.
Swollen batteries and safety
A battery that swells can lift the trackpad or case and should never be ignored. We remove swollen batteries safely and fit a reliable replacement, so your MacBook is safe to use and charge again.
Try this before you call
- Check battery health in System Settings under Battery.
- Note if it says Normal, Service Recommended or Service Battery.
- Close heavy apps and lower screen brightness to confirm the drain.
- If you see any bulge, stop using it and unplug it right away.
If the health is poor or you see a swelling, it is time for a replacement. You can read Apple’s own advice on battery health on Apple’s official support pages, then let us handle the replacement safely.
