Signs Your MacBook Battery Needs Replacing
Mac batteries typically last 3-5 years before needing replacement.
Dies Quickly
Used to last all day, now dies in an hour or two? Battery cells degrade over charge cycles. A new battery restores proper battery life.
Service Battery Warning
macOS showing "Service Battery" or "Replace Now" in the battery menu? The system has detected that the battery is no longer holding charge properly.
Stiff Trackpad
Trackpad not clicking like it used to? Feeling stiff or raised? A swollen battery is pushing up from underneath. Bring it in before it gets worse.
Won't Charge
Plugged in but the percentage won't go up? Or it charges very slowly? Could be the battery, the charger, or the charging port. We'll do a free initial assessment.
