Short runtime
The MacBook drains much faster than it used to during normal use.
Battery diagnosis and replacement for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with poor runtime, charging warnings, unexpected shutdowns or swelling concerns.
Fast drain, shutdowns and a MacBook that will not charge can involve the battery, charger, USB-C or MagSafe connection, charging circuitry or software. We confirm the likely cause before recommending replacement.
Exact pricing depends on the MacBook model, battery option, parts availability and repair requirements. We confirm the applicable price before repair work proceeds. Turnaround depends on diagnosis, the repair required and parts availability.
