Just wanted to say thank you. Heading into this process, I had no idea what I was doing, and-within just one hour-my MacBook Pro and I are all set. Invaluable tutorial!

Just followed this guide! Literally had it in front of my macbook I was fixing, and every step was exactly as you mentioned. One tip I think helped me, is I used some adhesive/velcro to fix the macbook to the work surface, so that when I used floss and string, the macbook didnt slide. Thank you for this!

Im glad i could help and thanks for the velcro tip thats cleaver! :)

My wife's MBP 15 retina from mid 2015 was working only plugged. I ordered iFixit battery pack and followed your video tutorial. It was sooo easy. Believe me: I use no drop of glue remover (basically alcohol) to remove the old battery pack. Dental floss is your best friend. Thanks Kamil & thanks iFixit 😎

I just changed my MacBook battery with this tutorial. Definitely have floss and Goo Gone in hand. It is much easier than I thought. Just be careful when lifting connectors or the latch of the trackpad cable (understand and see what you are doing). Thank you again for this well explained tutorial

Thanks so much for this! I also liked the music in the background- I was half-watching this while replacing my battery, checking back for those specific little details- prying the adhesive is really the most difficult part! 😂l really appreciated the reset actions you showed at the end. Other videos mentioned nothing about that, well- most of them said “take to Mac store” and I just saved myself at least $200 by doing this on my own! Thanks again!

I don't know what I was thinking but I used my 9" diving knife to remove the old battery, it's all I had. I just dug that thing out like an ingrown toenail...I was afraid the trackpad was no longer going to work...fortunately for me everything worked! if you're reading this,DO NOT do what I did!! I guess the girl I was doing it for bought the cheaper battery because it only came with a couple of screwdrivers...took about 10 minutes but it's working fine, thanks for your help and I promise if I would have the right tools I would've done it just like you did..😅

Great tips on here (holding back cover down as to not launch screws from cover pressure from battery). I found using thin card dabbed in isopropyl also to worked fairly quickly (works to get alcohol on adhesive). Thank you!

Could you please share the duration of the battery life you've experienced with the iFixit battery on your 15" 2015 MacBook Pro?
@willjoby1961 Жыл бұрын
Thanks Kamil, great video and info especially about the resetting etc. Laptop totally fixed now. I used a London Oyster card and nail varnish remover to deal with the adhesive. One point though. It wasn't obvious to me that the battery should be at 0% before starting and this info only comes at about 3'45" in the video after quite a bit of disassembly. Noobs watch out!

I'm happy that you found the video somewhat useful! And thanks for the feedback about the battery charge.. i didn't realise that i mentioned it so late in the video.. I am gonna have to add some caption.

hello, i have macbook pro 2015 a1398. my macbook suddenly shut down when i charge and won't to turn on. when i charge the light isn't not turn to green or orange, should i just replace the battery or anything else broken on my macbook?

How fast does the iFixIt battery degrade compare to the original Apple battery? And how many hours can I expect on a single charge?

Damn, Apple really made something that should be so simple, so difficult.

You just saved me £220 for a shitty battery replacement at the repair salon. They changed my battery in 2020 and it was swollen after 1.5 years! I doubt it was a good quality battery as the original one lasted for over 5 years. We will see how long this one will last for but even if the same amount of time as the previous one I prefer to pay half of the price.

Hows the battery holding up after a year of use ?
@wm8227 7 ай бұрын
Aren't those black tabs on front of the battery to pull the it loose? Like in an iphone ? Instead of using dissolver etc?
@KK-VLOG 7 ай бұрын
I think there might be something like that in the newer models of MacBook.. 2015 Retina battery change is a painful process :D

Man, I followed this to the letter, and now my keyboard and track pad don't work... 😢

Im sorry to hear that mate.. are you sure you connected the trackpad cable? It’s responsible for both trackpad and keyboard so it’s probably not connected correctly or you need to replace it

Hi, I have an x on my battery after replacing it and whenever I remove the charger, it turns off. I can only run my MacBook on the charger.
@KK-VLOG 9 ай бұрын
Make sure that you pushed the battery connector all the way in.. did you get you new battery from iFixit? if yes you can massage them maybe the battery is faulty..
@allen9818 9 ай бұрын
Yes, I make sure there’s no gap on the battery connector

Gods, I hate apple. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Dental floss gets involved!?
@KK-VLOG 6 ай бұрын
Yeah it helps to cut the glue under the battery.. in the newer models of MacBook they used sticky tapes that you can remove by pulling the tabs however i also miss the good old days when you could just open the laptop unscrew 4 bolts and remove the battery.. the only thing was that the laptops were 30 cm thick xD
