• 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
• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• The P5 pentalobe and T5 Torx screwdrivers you need are included in the box with this battery.
• 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 ten P5 pentalobe screws (eight 3.0 mm and two shorter 2.3 mm) and two clips near the centre. Lift it off by hand, and press the centre down on reassembly to clip it back in
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal
• Lift the battery connector straight up off the logic board with the flat end of a spudger, lifting the connector rather than the socket. Use the replacement connector cover tape when you put it back together
• Unplug the I/O board cable (two T5 screws on its bracket) and fold it back only at its existing bend
• Both speakers have to come out (three T5 screws each). Take care around the small components next to the left speaker connector
• The trackpad cable is stuck to the battery. Unplug it, warm it gently and peel it off slowly, then flip up the ZIF flap at the trackpad end to slide it out
• Remove the T5 screw holding the battery control board (some Late 2013 units have more than one)
• The six cells are glued to the top case. Cover the display with foil, then work in order (right pair, left pair, then the centre cells): a few drops of adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol, wait two to three minutes, and slide a plastic card under. Keep cards away from the trackpad control board
• 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 all the old adhesive and let the case dry. Test-fit the new battery before peeling the liners, then press each cell down firmly
• If your newly installed battery is draining fast or shutting off randomly, first try the battery calibration steps found here. If that doesn't resolve it, try an SMC reset
