    Replace battery with one from an older model

    I have a 2017 MacBook air (A1466) with a dead battery, and an older model (A1369). When I Google the battery replacement component for each model they seem to be compatible with each other. Can I just use my old battery in the new one instead of buying a whole new component? Thanks, Vinje
