• Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire or explode if punctured or damaged
• These MacBook Pros can power on by themselves when the lid opens or a charger is connected. On macOS Sequoia or later, run sudo nvram BootPreference=%00 in Terminal before you start. Power down, and on older macOS keep the lid closed until the battery is disconnected
• The P5 pentalobe, T3 and T5 Torx screwdrivers you need are included in the box. The 2023 models use Torx Plus screws, which standard Torx drivers turn with firm downward pressure
• Always track your screws to avoid putting back in the wrong place and damaging your device. You can draw a picture of your laptop and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• The bottom case is held by eight P5 pentalobe screws (four long ones along the hinge edge, four short ones at the front), hidden side clips and sliding clips along the back. Lift the front with a suction cup, release the side clips with a pick, then slide the case towards the front. Mind the sharp edges
• Unplug the battery before any component removal: peel the tape, flip up the ZIF flap and slide the data cable out, then remove the T5 screw on the battery power connector and lift it no more than 45 degrees, with a card under it so it can't touch its socket
• The trackpad has to come out (two T3 bracket screws, then ten T5 screws). Its cable is lightly stuck down, so peel it off gently. Keep the six small washers from the screw posts
• Remove the T5 screw holding the battery control board
• Pull the 14 stretch-release strips slowly and low (eight at the outer cells, six through the trackpad opening). If a strip breaks, add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol, wait a minute or two and lift with a plastic card. Keep alcohol away from the speakers
• Never pry against a cell with metal tools, and never bend, squeeze or puncture the cells when removing the old battery or fitting the new one
• Clean off the old adhesive and test-fit the new battery before peeling the liners. Press connectors back on at each side, not in the middle, to avoid bending pins
• After the repair, undo the boot setting with sudo nvram -d BootPreference. If it won't power on, connect the charger first
• If your newly installed battery is draining fast or shutting off randomly, first try the battery calibration steps found here. Apple silicon Macs have no SMC reset - shut down, wait 30 seconds and restart
