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.
MacBook Air battery replacements typically range from $230–$575, and MacBook Pro battery replacements from $249–$690, depending on model and repair requirements. Many common battery replacements can be completed the same day when the required part is available.
