Macbook Pro Battery

[niranchan]

Hi,

I have had my Mac Pro since 2014. However, last week, I got a message saying that battery service is recommended. I enquired at the authorized apple service center and they told it'll cost me approximately INR 59K (US $770) to fix it. Are battery replacements this expensive? Any plan B? Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

It’s just a recommendation, you can use your MBP as per usual, if you are happy with it otherwise.

$770 is way too much for a battery replacement. Apple itself charges $199 for out of warranty repairs. Your 2014 might not be supported anymore but you should be able to get a better price at a local repair shop.

As suggested, if it's still working fine I wouldn't worry until you actually start to notice unacceptable performance.

You can try iTweak (www.itweak.in) if you are in Bangalore. I replaced my iPhone SE (2016)'s battery 2 years back. It is still having 103.8% after 357 cycles, which is amazing.
