• 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 bottom case comes off. On Intel models (A1708, A2159, A2289), turn off AutoBoot first in Terminal with sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00 (set it back afterwards with sudo nvram AutoBoot=%03). On M1 and M2 models (A2338) running macOS Sequoia or later, use sudo nvram BootPreference=%00 (undo it afterwards with sudo nvram -d BootPreference). Either way, disconnect the battery connector before anything else
• 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 device and tape the screws to the right places or use a screw mat
• The bottom case is held by six P5 pentalobe screws and four hidden clips. Lift the front edge with a suction cup and release the clips with opening picks
• Make sure you always unplug the battery before attempting any component removal
• The trackpad has to come out to free the battery, and its cable is stuck to the battery. Warm the cable and peel it off slowly rather than pulling it
• The battery cells are glued to the top case. Apply adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol under each cell, give it a few minutes to soften, and lift with plastic cards. Never pry against a cell with metal or bend it
• Keep solvent off the display, keyboard and speakers. A sheet of foil between the keyboard and screen and a towel under the edge will catch drips
• Remove all the old adhesive so the new battery sits flat and the bottom case closes properly
• The control board and flex come already fitted to the battery, so there is no board to transfer from your old battery.
• 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, on Intel models (A1708, A2159, A2289) try a PRAM and SMC reset; M1 and M2 models have no SMC reset - shut down, wait 30 seconds and restart
