Awesome MacBook Pro late model 2013 battery kit
Kit arrived as advertised including all the tools. So far battery life is better than original when I first bought the MacBook.w Kit was easy to use, includes everything you need to do it yourself.

Easy install
Gave my MacBook Air an extra life. After the install (nice to have the screwdrivers included) and following the calibration of the power management, the MacBook has powered up like new.

Absolutely brilliant!
I love my 2017 MacBook Air, and I'm impressed that there is resources like OWC and NuPower who recognize and value keeping this hardware functional well beyond the warranty. I have bought items in the past (1990's-2010's) from both OWC and NuPower that have NEVER let me down. All are STILL serving me well. Long-term customer appreciates the commitment!! Thanks again!

Another Outstanding Battery
I have 2 Macbook Air's that I rely on for my home and mobile computing. Over the years I have replaced the Batteries a couple of time for each one. I found the Nupower Aftermarket batteries many year ago and have be happy with them every time. The last two have proved to have maximum charges above 8000 (Nupower) design max. As a not the Apple design is 7150 so the Nupower is an advantage spec wise but performs even above the design max. I don't think you can go wrong with these replacements.

Perfect
My battery arrived in one day. The printed color instructions were great that were included along with tools and accessories needed for the repair.

More capacity than original battery!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does a Mac battery last?

How long a Mac battery lasts largely depends on the usage of your Mac and how often you keep it plugged into power. If you regularly keep your Mac unplugged and let the battery run down each day, it should last you somewhere between 3-5 years before you need to replace the battery. However, if you use your Mac as a desktop and keep it plugged in at all times, you will reduce the number of cycles your battery goes through and thus prolong the life of your battery for several more years.

Does my Mac have a healthy battery?

Your Mac battery health is primarily determined by the number of charge cycles it has completed since its purchase. For most MacBooks released after 2010, that number is 1,000; but for older models released before 2010, the cycle count can be as low as 300.

How do I check the battery health on my Mac?

To check your battery cycle count – from the Apple menu, select “About this Mac,” then “System Report.” Under “Hardware,” click “Power.” Under “Health Information” you will see how many charge cycles your battery has experienced up to this point. If the cycle count is nearing the limit for your Mac model, or the condition is anything other than “Normal,” you should consider replacing your battery.

What is a good battery cycle count for a Mac battery?

A good battery cycle count for a Mac laptop battery largely depends on the number of years you plan to use the Mac before replacing the battery. It also depends on how the laptop has been used. A battery that is older, but with fewer cycles can actually have less run time capacity than a fresher battery that has more run time cycles due to the impact of"exercise and use" on battery health. If your current Mac – or a used Mac you are buying – has a battery with less than 300 charge cycles, the battery should be capable of delivering reasonable run-time performance. If the laptop is still using the original battery, the age of the laptop (and thus, the age of the battery) will also be a factor in the battery life you can expect. Otherwise, a battery reporting near 1000 charge cycles, or more, is likely approaching it's maximum lifespan – it may be time to replace the battery.

If you are buying a used Mac released later than 2010 and plan on using the Mac for three years or more, we recommend purchasing a Mac with a battery cycle count of 300 or less. Otherwise, you should plan to replace the battery as the charge cycle count nears 1000.

Battery Replacements for Mac Laptops

If your MacBook battery is draining quickly, or if you recently purchased a used Mac laptop and want to switch out the battery, it’s probably time to replace it with a NewerTech battery. NewerTech battery replacements are a great way to ensure your Mac runs reliably for years to come. Each battery is engineered to perfectly fit your Mac model and offers full compatibility with applicable OEM sleep and power reduction modes. NewerTech batteries also can offer up to 23% more capacity than the original Apple factory batteries.
