Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my MacBook needs a battery?
Apple menu → About This Mac → System Report → Power: check cycle count and condition. Over 1000 cycles or "Service Recommended" means it is time. If in doubt, bring it in and we measure it.
What if the battery is swollen?
Stop using and charging it. A swollen battery can damage the trackpad and cover; we remove it safely and check for other damage.
Do I lose my data?
No. A battery replacement does not touch the drive. We recommend a Time Machine or iCloud backup anyway.
What warranty does it have?
A 3-month written warranty on the battery and its installation.
