    Just a word of warning about cheap aftermarket batteries...

    We got this 2012 13" MBP that had a tired battery (unsurprisingly) so we replaced it exactly a year ago with a battery from amazon. Been working fine. The laptop was closed with charger plugged in for a couple of weeks. My business partner wanted to use it and when he opens it, he saw the touch...

    UK: Best place to buy replacement battery

    I'm in the UK. That's important because I can't order from the US because of laws around shipping batteries. I need a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15in mid-2015 2.8GHz. I've tried several brands and they've been appalling – ranging from dropping to 80% of design capacity within days, or not...

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?

    Hello everyone, I bought a battery for my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and made the change yesterday (I have already done the steps of the SMC and PRAM). At first, the battery was in "normal" condition and everything was fine. After a cycle, the battery had the status "Service...
