How to Upgrade/Replace the Battery in a MacBook Pro 13-inch (late 2016 - mid 2017 Touch Bar)

[@0xR0b0tt]

Excellent instructions. Thank you!!! The only change I made: I did not use any adhesive removal. Used a string instead to pry the battery out. So, I did not have to remove the trackpad.

Worked like a charm. Haptic feedback didn't work a first few times after battery replacement so I had to remove touchpad assembly and re-assemble it do resolve bad connection issue. Got it working again. Would also advise against connecting battery (12:35) so early in the process. Do it just before attaching the bottom cover. Just to ensure you don't accidentally short the board when reassembling the computer.

Followed the directions step-by-step and it worked perfectly. Lots of pausing and rewinding and playing and pausing though :)

Successfully replaced my battery on Mac. Thank you! One thing to note: I had to go into setting and force full charge in order to get it to 100%.

[@poweredbyowc]

Great to hear you successfully replaced your battery! Thanks for sharing that tip about forcing a full charge-it can be really helpful for others. 😉💙🤩

Perfect tutorial. It works. thx

🤩 We're glad to hear that your very pleased with our tutorial video and it was able to help you.

I would advise against re-connecting the metal tab (12:35) until everything else is reconnected, as there is a possibility that you'll drop a screw on the Logic Board and it bridges a connection between two different components on the board. If there is power from the battery flowing through the system, this can cause a short and damage the components badly, possibly ruining the board completely.

[@poweredbyowc]

Hi DWN9! That's an interesting point. I'd be worried that leaving the power connection screw till 14:23 when the other screws are inserted could result in the power connection screw being forgotten.

[@DWN9]

@@poweredbyowc That's true, but it's easy to open the back cover and re-install the screw later. Replacing the Logic Board would be more costly both time and money-wise.

[@poweredbyowc]

You have great points there DWN9. 🤔 We love getting inputs/suggestions from our customer and we will for sure forward your feedback to our development team.😊

Thnx, it worked better than the paper tutorial I got with my new battery. One note on part 4 in the video; the energy saver options have disappeared in macOS Ventura.

[@poweredbyowc]

We're pleased to hear that the video proved more helpful during the installation process. Your feedback is valued, and we will certainly pass it along to the appropriate department. Thank you. 💙

Thank you! Replaced it, old battery completely didn’t charge and Mac worked only while charging like a normal PC without battery.

[@poweredbyowc]

Woohoo!!!!!! Always glad to hear when a Mac is back up and running again. :) Thanks for sharing.

I did it like you, but my mac do not see new battery. I opened my mac and see a picture of battery but after ….. my mac tell me ….. need a servis

[@poweredbyowc]

Hello Marie, if the battery is still not being recognized after replacement, the issue may lie within the hardware of the machine itself and may require servicing.

[@Rcaceres]

Hello. What if my laptop is dead and won’t power on at all. Is it safe to still change the battery?

[@poweredbyowc]

There could be a few reasons why your computer isn't powering, while it should still be safe to charge a battery inside it, it might be important to figure out what is specifically wrong before replacing the battery.

[@Rcaceres]

@@poweredbyowc you were deff right! Wasn’t the battery. I replaced it with your kit and instructions and still no power. I sent it out to fix might be the board. Thanks for your help

[@poweredbyowc]

Thank you for your comment! You're very welcome! Happy to help :)

[@adiposerex5150]

Be very careful prying the battery out. It can explode and cause a fire.

Better option: Throw that garbage in the trash and build a good PC desktop
