Yes...that 10+ years!!! I have been using MacSales for that long to give extra life to my MacBooks - yup, that is more than one. They continue to keep my machines running their best and extending their use for so many years beyond what the mere mortal might think is possible. Purchasing is simple and the instructions that are included after receiving my speedy shipment make adding components or replacing batteries a breeze. If there were more than 5 stars, I would choose that, even with something as simple as the battery purchase I made. The new battery allows me to keep a machine running that many would have written off a few years ago.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Let me tell you, it might seem crazy to install a new battery in a 13 year old MacBook Pro, but it’s a solid computer. The installation instructions looked intimidating but it was actually quite easy. For my particular 15 inch MacBook Pro I do have to admit I cheated a bit. Once I realized that most of the 90+ steps that had you taking out all of the MacBook guts were simply a measure to keep you from getting the important part wet from adhesive remover I decided to skip most all of that. The battery came out very easily for me. I just took care to use very little adhesive remover, and I tilted the laptop up just a nudge so any excess fluid would flow away from the motherboard. Easy! And so far after charging I’m very impressed by the battery performance!

For $85 and about 3 hours of work, I feel like I have a new computer! I followed the video and performed the battery replacement myself. It looks intimidating, but the step by step instructions really help. It helps to go slowly and not be in a rush - pausing the video to complete each step. I reinstalled screws as I went knowing that I would have to remove them again during reassembly - but this was the easiest way to keep them matched up (Apple uses many different sizes and lengths of T5 Torx screws throughout the inside) The only additional tool I needed was a window scraper which helped remove the old adhesive, all the other needed tools were provided and worked very well for the Job. I will keep the tools in my computer tool bag!
