I watch a few MacBook battery replacement video and this one is the best so far. It pays attention to tricky details that other videos did not show.

Thank you for this video, my local computer store wanted $350 to replace the battery. It took me only 50 minutes and I paid $53 for the battery that included the tools to remove the battery on Amazon. Again thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video.

Thank you very much for making this video! I replaced mine A1708 battery per your instructions. It has been close to 24 hours and the battery is holding on. Macbook pro fixed! THANK YOU!!!

Excellent demo on how to replace the battery on MB Pro 2017..... So far it's the best video I have seeing..

Thank u so much for this video process. Everything was so well explained and I just did the battery replacement on my mac without any problm. THANK YOU BRO!!!

Excellent video, just replaced my battery following you, no problems now charging new battery! Thanks!!!

This instructional video is superb. It walks through all of the details of the battery replacement. Binh, I have one suggestion which will save you quite a bit of work -- instead of using rubbing alcohol to remove the adhesive, use naphtha. You can get it from the hardware store in the paint section (VM&P Naphtha) or use "white gas" or Ronsonol Lighter Fluid, which are also naphtha. Dampen a paper towel with it, hold it on the adhesive residue for a few seconds before any scraping, and within a few minutes the foam tape residue will get super soft and just peel off. If you apply the dampened paper towel a couple times and just wait for the naphtha to do its job, you don't have to do any scraping, and it leaves no sticky residue. And it is quite gentle on other surfaces, unlike acetone and many other solvents. Thanks again, and I hope this tip returns the favor!

thank you so much for your help! because of this video, i was able to successfully put a new battery in my macbook pro :) a few tips for anyone following this tutorial who also doesn't have any experience or knowledge in this area: 1. the cover on the old battery is most likely going to rip when you try to remove it. the adhesive is super strong, and no matter what you use to push under and pry it apart, the battery seems to rip open. it's going to smell as soon as you do, and it's most likely going to spark a bit at some point. it freaked me out a bit, so i'm warning everyone else. 2. removing the bottom cover from the macbook requires more force than you think. those clips really hold it on. try to go around the edge with something flat to pull it up. and it's kinda fussy to put back on too, so try to get it into the clips and press on all around the bottom. 3. make sure those little connectors with the gold on them are fully inserted into the new battery. mine weren't pushed all the way in, so i had to go in and redo them when i saw the new battery wasn't charging. 4. make sure to do the PRAM and/or SMC reset. my computer didn't stop giving me the "service battery" message until i did it. that seems to be the way to make sure the computer recognizes that there's new hardware. thanks again for this video! i couldn't have completed the process without it.

I don’t know jack about computers and was able to replace my battery because of your video! Thanks dude! 👍

Very clear. Replaced the battery on my daughter's Mid 2017 MBP (A1708) with no issues for around USD $75 including tools. Apple Store quoted her $300 and spouted some nonsense about needing a software upgrade and a complete hard drive wipe.

Worked perfectly for me! Thank You!

You are an awesome tutor. Thank you for your help 🙏🙏🙏

Really good video, helped a lot :)

Just did one today using this as a guide, I used dental floss to remove the battery, the little ribbon cable was a mission to put in because it was so small. But anyways thank you for your video it helped heaps.

Thank you very much for this video. I look forward to repairing mine myself with the guidance you have provided here. Do you have a recommendation for a quality trusted source to purchase the replacement track pad from at a reasonable price?

Wonderful explanation.

thanks! got some sparks from the battery but made it work!

excellent vid very helpful

Proven the best tutorial

thanks man!

you re my saviour man

Thank you for this awesome video that helped me replace my old battery. I reset both PRAM and SMC however, I can see no battery connected. The battery settings window cant open, as it says I have no hardware connected. I was super careful and meticulous with all steps. Any suggestions on what to try?

Super thank you 🙏

Would this be the same process for a Late 2016 Macbook Pro 15" w/ Touchbar?

I did it all and it worked, thanks. Only thing is now the trackpad is quite sluggish and slow. After resetting the PRAM it fixed it, but it went back to being slow shortly after. I’ll probably just keep resetting it until it fixes completely, but just wondering if you have any advice on this?

Great Video - Thank you! BTW, the "little cable" part shows to be: C18123 / 821-00614-A. What model Tesla do you own? :-)

Very helpful. Bro, is a1713 battery model compatible with MacBook pro 13 2 thunderbolt 2019 a2159 ?

Stunning video!!! Would you know how to tell me the brand’s battery?

Hey so I've done pretty much everything you did in the video yet why doesn't it turn on after I've install ed the battery.. Whag did I do wrong? :(

Hi I have run into a problem with battery connector ribbon (5:50 on your video). I believe I pulled it out successfully but when I went to put everything back together I discovered a ribbon with nothing on that end. I guess it fell off and I cannot find it. Can you link to the part I need?

Great video, thank you. Do you have a recommended vendor to purchase a new battery?

can you make a detailed video as this one but on the replacement for Macbook pro 13" with Touch Bar A1706.

I followed the whole thing for 3 hours and i plug it in to charge it says its not charging. The battery is working but its not charging, should i let it go to zero and see if it works? Please help me

I want to know where to buy the battery and how to know what's the best one?

what’s up with the p ram reset stuff etc at the end? i’m gonna replace the battery of my macbook A1708 tomorrow, do i need to do this? or can i just switch te battery and skip the last part with both reset options? please explain! nice clear vid btw ;)

Great video! I followed the instructions and my mac now turns on but it won't charge. Does that mean there's something wrong with my charger? Or did I do something wrong?

Hi! I replaced my battery and now I’m getting an odd screen with a rectangle and what looks like a power button?

I’ve now tried this with two different batteries as i thought the first did not work, do u know what else i could do or try to get it working?

May I know the website you guys get your battery from?

the battery replacement has the model number A1713, does that matter

Question, what would cause the Mac book pro not to detect the new battery, thanks?

Where did you get the batteries?

I wish I would have watched this video first and taken out trackpad first. While removing the center battery I pryed up and cracked the trackpad. I did not know there were two open squares under the battery. luckily I found a replacement for $60 coming soon. Why not use some sort of bracket to hold battery adhesive is such a bad idea for laptop.

Hi I wonder if you can help. When my track pad is connected to the board the processor gets very hot to the point that macbook switches itself off, when track pad is unplugged processor is cool (fan blow full speed? ) but the graphics are very slow?? Can you help with this??

Ive done all the steps until the trackpad removal. Cleaned everything really softly with a brush, followed how to close everything from the second you started to put the trackpad back again and is not turning itself on anymore? What could be wrong? For a second i heard the fans super loud and fast and plugged the charger out and it turned off

Hi, I replaced the battery but when I boot there is a symbol of a battery with a cross through it. Everything else works fine. If I try to do the SMC reset it shuts down immediately. I've checked the battery contacts and ribbon 3 times. Any ideas? Thanks for the great tutorial.

Can someone link me a good battery, becouse the one he used in the video is not avaible

I followed the instructions to a T but it keeps restarting and I get the “your computer restarted because of a problem screen” over and over. Not really sure what to do.

hi, i have a little problem with my macbook pro 13'' i've changed the battery and on coconutbattery it shows me that the battery now has 100% capacity, BUT! whenever i start my macbook the fans turnup and the mac is so low. i did not knew about the resets and i did them afterwards but they did not help, i hope you can ! thanks already and all the best wishes from germany !

Hi, so I’ve followed the video and replaced my battery, however although it shows the screen where it say it needs charging, when I plug it in and turn it on, it doesn’t seem to show a battery up in the top left menu. Is this due to the flex cable or is it because I haven’t done the resets?

Hello! I replaced battery through your tutorial but now touchbar is not clicking and its not turning on. Charger doesn't consume energy. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the video, I replaced my battery today but for some reason it's not charging, can anyone let me know if this happened before?

what battery do i buy and where do i buy it?

Just did the whole process. Everything went fine. A couple things that scared me but ended up being just fine. First time I boot it up, the battery icon in the upper right part of the screen showed the "plug connected" icon and 1% battery. I rebooted doing cmd+option+P+R and it showed a 70% battery but "battery not charging". Left it some minutes and started to show "battery charging 72% 4 hours 30 minutes to full charged". Few minutes later it showed 85% charged and 27 mins to fully charged, which I assume is the correct information. Seems that it takes a while to "recalibrate" the whole battery thing. Also first time that I booted it it took longer than normally, which again I assume is normal (but is scaring af...) Also, as an advice, the most tricky part for me was placing the battery correctly. If you don't place the center part just right it might affect the trackpad assembling. I was lucky by a tenth of a milimeter... I think is useful to practice with the stickers protected and once you know where to the battery has to be exactly, remove the sticker protection and go for it. Here you have a couple amazon links of what I bought to do this (it is Spain's amazon but I'm sure you can find in your local amazon: Battery replacement (the screwdrivers that come with this started to be worn out at the end, be gentle or they just go round): www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Repuesto-portátil-Compatible-Notebook/dp/B085LB4LCC/ref=sr_1_5?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=bateria+macbook+pro+2017+13-inch&qid=1618422332&sr=8-5 Cooking tool to remove the old battery: www.amazon.es/Claveles-Espátula-acodada-Inoxidable-04817/dp/B011CR13QE/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=espátula+glaseado&qid=1618427134&refinements=p_85%3A831314031&rnid=831276031&rps=1&sr=8-8 Other than that, thanks a lot, the repairing cost of this in an authorized service shop in Spain would be 300€. I just spend 60€ so the least I could do is gave you a small tip on Patreon as I just did.
