Hi all,
Looking for some assistance identifying the name of a component in my 2016 13" Touchbar MacBook Pro.

I was attempting to change the battery and accidentally removed the two components circled in the photo. I need to replace them, but I'm not sure what they're called or what they do. I assume they're battery isolators, but can't find that with a Google search. Could anyone help?

No problem. Hope you get everything working again! :)

And they are technically the woofers in the speaker system, so you might still get audio from the machine, just not a very balanced output.
