简介
使用本指南可以借助 iFixit 电池更换套装从MacBook Pro中安全地取出内置电池。 套件中的粘合剂去除剂将溶解固定电池的粘合剂，使您可以轻松地将其移除。
“iFixit粘合剂去除剂是高度易燃的。''请'在通风良好的地方进行此项操作。 在这个过程中不要在明火附近抽烟或工作。
为了你的安全，在开始此指南之前，请先将MacBook Pro的电池电量耗尽。如果意外刺破，带电的锂离子电池可能会造成危险且无法控制的火灾。如果你的电池已经鼓包，请参考此指南
注意：用于溶解电池粘合剂的溶剂会在你的扬声器与塑料扬声器音箱接触时损坏。 所以，本指南指导你在继续使用电池之前取下扬声器。移除扬声器还需要移除其他几个组件，包括主板。

I recommend being careful while sliding as you can scratch the speaker. The actual clip is about halfway up the side, whereas the speaker is closer to the front (further from the hinge). So stay very shallow with just the tip of the pick until you get halfway up the side.

在另一侧重复上一个步骤，使用一个三角撬片打开第二个夹扣。
Same advice that I gave for the other side — be careful not to scratch the speaker which is close to the bottom. Keep the pick shallow until you get halfway up the side.

首先在一个角落拉，然后在另一个角落拉。
This was made a lot easier by using a lever in the hinge area in combination with pulling. The amount of force required was more than the grip I could get on the metal allowed for my macbook.
Thank you for this comment! 🙏
For me it was the same way, wasn't able to get enough grip to pull sufficiently - but gently levering near the hinge with a spudger to "push" the bottom panel away worked well!There is no pulling required. Use an opening pick or a spudger at the hinge area to gently and easily nudge the bottom panel off the clips. It should be effortless.
If you do pull on the bottom case be careful of where you place the hand supporting the Mac, otherwise you'll make a blood sacrifice to the Mac gods! I placed my other hand too close to the feet on the bottom case and while removing it, the sharp edge of the bottom case sliced into my thumb.

I’ve seen versions of this battery board that the cable goes around and to the back of the board, so this step is not always necesary.
Putting a mark on the cable will be helpful when reinstalling so you don't put it backwards or upside down.

This isn't necessary for many repairs, such as the Screen Replacement. I just lift the cable out of the way enough to do the next few steps and leave it attached.

Amazing. This is truly thorough, and as soon as this battery starts to fail, will come back here. Nice work documenting a whole assembly line.
If I want to replace my fans, it looks like I can follow this guide to step 66 and then just figure it out from there? Is there a guide somewhere on this? Thanks!
You can do as you wrote for replacing only the fan. Ther’s nothing more to know about it.
I see that the MacBook Pro 13 logic board remains in place in iFixit battery replacement guide. Is there any reason why in the MacBook Pro 16 the logic board cannot remain in place while removing and reinstalling the battery?
Yes, there are two battery cables running under the logic board, clearly visible at step 68. No way to put the battery back with the logic board in place.
I recently did the 15” 2017 Macbook Pro battery replacement and that seemed more difficult than this one due to the speaker connectors. In my opinion, this 16” replacement can be marked as Moderate.
Because the battery connector is underneath the logic board here.
Peter H -
Great guide! Wow! Definitely not for the faint of heart! Thanks Carsten!
This is definitely a difficulty repair. I caused some damage to the speaker, likely while trying to get the battery out. (Luckily, that will be a very simple repair)
I definitely recommend double checking that you have all right screwdrivers, scrapers/spudgers, adhesive dissolvers, screw locker and a tray with lots of compartments to keep everything organized. I have done multiple complex repairs of mac laptops in the past including screen replacements, logic board replaceements and other battery replacements and this was the most difficult. I am very glad future generations included pull tabs for the adhesive.
Thanks for the guide!
FWIW I skipped about half the steps, and used spudgers to angle the motherboard up, in order to remove the battery. I'll list the steps I followed below:
1-21
27-29
35-36
41-49
53-54
61
63
68
I use 99% isopropyl alcohol, and an ifixit plastic card to cut through the battery adhesive. TBH that was the most time-consuming part, because I like to let the alcohol melt the adhesive a bit before cutting, in order to minimize the amount of pressure I have to apply.
The reason I skipped a lot of steps is to minimize risk, and also to save time. Thankfully the battery ribbons were easy to slide underneath the board, once the board was angled up a bit.
What a nightmare... There's no way this wasn't done in purpose.
2 years in and the battery's already dead. That's insane.
This took longer than expected due to the logic board removal, but wasn’t too difficult and everything went to plan.
Note that you need to be REALLY careful with the ZIF connector latches like on the battery board and logic board, they are very fragile and I had to re-attach the latch for one of them.
OMG!! I did not know that the process to change out the battery on the 2019 MBP was so intense. My old 2009 MBP was "cake walk" compared to this. Thanks for the HOW TO
For Step 16:
What does "damage" mean in this case? I have one of these that I was attempting to clean, so I lifted the battery power connector up, but I can't swear it didn't make contact. When I was trying to lay it down flat I thought it would stay flat until I put the screw in, but it popped back up a short way. I then held it down & put the screw it - now my MBP isn't powering on. Did this damage the logic board?
Nevermind my prior; took it to a local shop & they said it has liquid damage on logic board. Sending back to seller.
Woo hoo! Just finished. I don’t know who could do this battery repair on the quicker side of that range—mine took over 5 hours. Granted, I also redid the thermal paste on my CPU and my GPU. In addition, the old battery was really stuck in there, so that took extra time. Nonetheless, now I have more experience and, no need to buy a new computer ! Thanks, iFixIt !
Carsten did an excellent job in providing the correct information to do the job. But let us ALL NOT FORGET, this convoluted way of replacing a battery (something that would be considered a common and ordinary everyday routine need) is Apple's good faith attempt at preventing the everyday consumer from replacing their own battery in their own device. Take for example myself when it takes 80+ steps to change a battery, and provided I were wealthy, I'd have someone replace the battery for me. Not everyone is wealthy or similarly situated. Make sure you don't forget to encourage your elected officials in the U.S. Congress to vote to allow us Americans our right to repair our devices ourselves without long, drawn out, encumbering, and convoluted ways of doing it. Can you imagine how blinded in the night we would be if we had to go through all this just to change the batteries in our flashlights? We're no longer in the dark ages. I for one, am not prepared to go back even if Apple likes it or not.
Is there a way to replace the battery without removing everything? I can just slide the big battery out of my Dell Latitude E6500 and pop another one in. However, can I replace the battery in my 2019 MBP 16" without having to remove everything?
The repair guide is awesome. Unfortunately, replacing the battery didn't bring the machine back to life. Sadness!
But the repair guide was great. I felt very confident throughout.
Same with me. Did you figure out what was wrong with your machine? Replacing the battery was my best guess at what was wrong with my machine and now I'm stuck. Hopefully you had some luck diagnosing your issue?

Excellent guide
If I replace the battery, why coconut tool said that the manufacture date is 2013-03-18, is that normal?
So I just completed the whole sequence and everything went fine, really really well done Carsten! Only thing that went wrong is minor but still annoying: it seems I broke the left keyboard backlight cable. What to do in such a case?
Little extra onfo: I can't seem to find that part anywhere, and I can see the ribbon is slightly ripped in its angle, which must have happened when I put the logic board back in place. I can live without it, but it is strange having a keyboard lit only on one side... so any hint will be appreciated.
Yann,
Thank you for the kind words! Unfortunately, the keyboard, keyboard backlight, and their cables are integral to the laptop's upper case.
So thankful for this guide. Was able to resurrect an old unit that was collecting dust. Knew issue had to be the battery. Yes, a lot of steps; though, followed closely, you will succeed!!
3hours, with precaution and coffee time. All step are not so complicate. The unique attention is for the batterie removal. And cleaning step. So thanks for this tutorial.
Really thank you Carsten for this majestic guide, but shame on Apple for doing this job. I spent like 8 hours for doing everything (I know, I'm quite slow) and I even punctured the old battery while using the plastic card. I was a nightmare.
Hopefully, we will have easy-to-replace batteries by 2027 thanks to the European Union.
Special thanks to the Italian translators too, Grazie!
Do you seriously have to disconnect everything from power before removing the battery or can you just disconnect the battery and replace it with a new one? That just seems excessive.
But if their is a reason, I’d love to know
Is there any way to test if I'm having a battery issue? Can I boot the computer if I disconnect the battery? Currently the computer is completely dead and gives no sign of life what ever I do.

Macrepair SF - 回复
@mac_medic You definitely don’t want the power coming on while the board is wet. In your case, I think powering on the machine to disable Auto Boot would do more damage than it prevents. I agree, skip this step and be prepared to disconnect the battery quickly if the laptop automatically powers on. Good luck!
Jeff Suovanen -
Thats right! You don't want power running while working on your logic board.

Tried this on a 2018 MBP 13” Touchbar (there’s no iFixit guide for this model yet). Need to replace a broken screen.
Luckily I managed to connect to an external screen (Cmd-Down Brightness to switch displays) and enter above command. Seems to work, but there’s another problem with this model - it powers up as soon as any key is pressed……. ffs <gnashes teeth>
Cool_Breeze - 回复
I unscrew the battery first and wrap electrical tape over the logic board battery connector before attempting any repairs to the board. Haven’t had any problems yet and I’ve worked on about 10 of these models already. Also when you open the bottom case use a suction cup at the bottom and pull up then run a plastic spudger along the edges to disconnect the clips. Also only use a plastic spudger on the board. Saw a youtube video from a repair shop and he did not disconnect the power and used all metal tools during the entire process of removing the board. His last step was to disconnect the battery terminal.

If you have a damaged screen you can still use a converter from thunderbolt (USB 3) to HDMI and plug your Macbook Pro to your TV as monitor display. Just make sure to chose the right Source (HDMI IN) in your TV. I did it and to make it work I unplug and plug again in my Macbook and so I could disable the Auto boot

Hi. This does not work on 2018 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. I did exactly this to disable auto boot. But when I check by using nvram -p it says: auto-boot true. Am I doing something incorrectly? I did everything step by step. Copied and pasted the sudo command, pressed enter and then entered my password. I have Big Sur 11.1 installed. Is there any other way since I need to replace the screen. Thank you. Adrian
Adrian Vizik - 回复
Hi everyone. This is also a little pointless if you can’t see anything on the screen, and you don’t have a display adapter to USB C to display it. I agree with Brian about removing the back and disconnecting the battery cable before you even think about opening the lid of the MacBook. Applying the insulation tape is also a handy little tip that just makes sure there is no way to discharge from either the board or battery.

Running Big Sur 11.6.7 on a 2019 16" MBP, it's "auto-boot". So it's:
nvram -p | grep 'auto-boot'to display the current state, the default istrue- and then to change it,sudo nvram auto-boot=falsewhich turns it off.Ed Mechem -
This step is completely unnecessary if you follow the guide to disconnect the battery properly. Just put some tape between the battery and logic board connection to prevent it from accidentally touching and therefore powering on the laptop.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - CHECK THE BATTERY!
I-fixit sent me a bad battery, which I didn’t realize until it was already install. They sent me a new one, but I wasted hours uninstalling and reinstalled.
Get a volt meter and measure the voltage on the output of the battery pack. If it reads 0 V, SEND IT BACK. It should read over 2 V.

When I did this from Terminal.app within Recovery Mode, the “sudo” was not recognized but I could invoke it without the sudo part. It seems to have been accepted when looking at “nvram -p”

When in Recovery Mode, you already have superuser powers. So you don't need to prefix commands with the sudo command to invoke them with root privileges; you already have them. Do a
pwd(print working directory) after opening Terminal in Recovery Mode, and you'll see that you're in the root user's directory.Ed Mechem -
I received the battery kit for my 2018 MacBook Pro and as per the above comment from bcardanha - Oct 12, 2021, I checked the voltage on the pads marked + and - . It was zero volts so I panicked a bit.
I sent a message on the iFixiT Facebook page and I got no reply. I finally found the customer service email for Ifixit Europe and sent them an email voicing my concern as I was not keen to work for couple of hours just to discover that the battery is faulty. I had an almost instant reply on the email (kudos to them) and they adviced me to go ahead and install the new battery as the voltage measured when battery is not connected is not relevant.
I took a leap of faith and after two hours… the new battery showed 50% charge and everything seems to be working just fine. I am happy it worked.

After removing the old battery and installing the new battery I powered up the MBP before screwing the bottom on. I discovered the my keyboard would not function. It took a few hours of investigation and frustration that I discovered the track pad power ribbon had become partially dislodged from the trackpad. I was able to see that this through the little machined slot where the battery sat. I had to remove the trackpad to reinsert the power ribbon back into the connector in the trackpad. after reassembling and reinstalling the battery etc the keyboard worked. Just food for thought if your run into the keyboard issue.

Excellent instructions. I was able to follow and install the new screen. I recommend that you get a good set of tools before you begin. I started with an inexpensive repair kit bought online.

If you're not running an admin account the sudo command won't work (which honestly, you should not be running admin). Rather than logging in to your admin amount via the OS, in the terminal type "login [admin username]," then the password and you'll be able to do the sudo command as described above. Once you're complete, type "logout [admin username]" and you'll be good to go. Obviously replace [admin username] with whatever the account name for your admin user is.

After sending this command in terminal when I checked what happens if I now open the lid, instead the screen lit slightly up (still black) then a battery symbol showing the charging state showed up.
