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.
Glad it helped! If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
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.
Thanks!
Excellent demo on how to replace the battery on MB Pro 2017..... So far it's the best video I have seeing..
Thanks!
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!!!

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

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

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.
A good method to remove the battery safely, is to use a 30lb braided fishing line, kinda floss it through the battery.
Nice
You are an awesome tutor. Thank you for your help 🙏🙏🙏

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.
Glad it helped! :)
Worked perfectly for me! Thank You!

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!
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about is it'll damage other components like the plastics. The alcohol works the same way if soaked a while it comes out easily, but I'm impatient. Haha
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@ItsBinhRepaired I believe that Naphtha is safe for most plastics. The first time I saw it used for cleaning was someone removing price tags from textbooks -- it didn't harm the shiny book covers at all! I've used it on countless surfaces without any issues. And since it doesn't contain any water and dries clean, it works really well. Give it a try! It will save you a lot of time and effort.
Interesting
thanks! got some sparks from the battery but made it work!
Glad you were able to figure it out

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.
Awesome! Yeah...I don't know why they do all that.
I replaced the battery but when I turn it on, their is a X mark on my battery, and when I ever I disconnect it from the charger it turns off
Double check the small ribbon cable is connected and the metal tab is lined up properly.
@@ItsBinhRepaired do you have to do the SMC reseat?
@@Kash489 do you have to eat/sleep/breathe/shower/etc.? It takes like 5 seconds and you only do it once. Why do people ask that as if it's the most difficult thing? Just do it. Lol

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?
Confirm the model and year with everymac.com. Usually Amazon is good.
Stunning video!!! Would you know how to tell me the brand’s battery?
This one amzn.to/3IcJsQs
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?
Make sure the cable and metal tab are connected properly. It not, might be a bad battery.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thanks, I’ll check out the cable and tab again.
Is there a way to check if the battery is bad? Voltage drop ?
@@nRantzau I'm not sure
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?
Could be bad battery
Very helpful. Bro, is a1713 battery model compatible with MacBook pro 13 2 thunderbolt 2019 a2159 ?
Looks like a2171 amzn.to/3LXvu5j
Great Video - Thank you! BTW, the "little cable" part shows to be: C18123 / 821-00614-A. What model Tesla do you own? :-)
Currently I don't own one, but my Model Y estimated delivery is end of March. I was trying to hold off for the Cybertruck, but someone cut out my catalytic converter from my prius, so now I don't feel it's worth repairing. It had over 270k miles on it nearly 20 years old and lots of random minor annoying issues. Driving wise, it was still good though. :/
Would this be the same process for a Late 2016 Macbook Pro 15" w/ Touchbar?
What's the model number on the bottom of the MacBook?
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?
Double check the small ribbon cable and the metal tab
@@ItsBinhRepaired I've checked both. When I plug the charger in, nothing happens. It doesn't even acknowledge that it I've plugged it in
@@4556789mazda very strange. The metal tab is centered with the gold contact points?
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeah. I keep checking but both seem to be properly placed.
Remove the little ribbon cable and reinstall. Maybe the battery is bad :(
can you make a detailed video as this one but on the replacement for Macbook pro 13" with Touch Bar A1706.
I meant the battery replacement for the A1706
I don't buy computers to work on. These are customer computers. You'll have to send me that model for me to make a video on it, but it'll be a paid job. The process is essentially the same. You can use this tutorial to replace the battery on that model.
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?
I'm not sure. You mean the metal tabs got ripped off of the cable?
Great video, thank you. Do you have a recommended vendor to purchase a new battery?
I usually just go to Amazon, look for one with a 1 year warranty and buy that.
ifixit if you can find one
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.
Apple doesn't want people to fix things themselves :(
Make sure to like and subscribe so others find my videos and watch them before damaging theirs.
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? :(
Did you plug in the charger?
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?
What's the issue with your MacBook? Why did you think it was the battery?
The battery would not charge and whenever i take the charger out my mac would shut down
@@lukefentonkickz9030 this is a known issue 9to5mac.com/2021/02/09/apple-offering-free-battery-replacement-for-2016-2017-macbook-pro-that-wont-charge-past-1/
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.
4th time lucky got it going! Thanks again!
Oh it now says battery is not charging
@@caetzar check the metal tab is centered between the gold contact pads and the little ribbon cable is connected properly.
@@ItsBinhRepaired I think it's this issue: support.apple.com/kb/DL2071?locale=en_NZ I"ll report back when I have a better data connection :)
The supplemental update didn't work unfortunately. Still stuck on 1%.
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 !
Is the trackpad working ok? You might have messed up the trackpad
@@ItsBinhRepaired my mouse functions do work well but if i want to do an force touch klick it doesn‘t work, you think it has something to do with it ?
@@yasin66_tv7 I think so

@@ItsBinhRepaired i did the flexcable under the battery looks like its inside i can see a little bit of the golden contacts, i already thought that i hit the microchips when i was scraping under the battery ...
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 ;)
Why skip it? It's so easy to do and takes no time at all. It resets things Apple stores in the memory so it doesn't get confused by the hardware changes. Always good do it when making any hardware changes. For specifics of what it does, you'll want to Google it.
@@ItsBinhRepaired ah oke, thanks!
I want to know where to buy the battery and how to know what's the best one?
Amazon reviews amzn.to/3Kh93XP
Hi! I replaced my battery and now I’m getting an odd screen with a rectangle and what looks like a power button?
Rectangle power button? Upload a video and share
That's the MacBook searching for a mouse and keyboard. You might have not connected it properly or damaged the cable.
May I know the website you guys get your battery from?
Amazon. Did you need a link for a specific battery?
Question, what would cause the Mac book pro not to detect the new battery, thanks?
The small ribbon cable and/or the metal tab isn't lined up properly or inserted fully
Thanks for replying. The battery I got looked odd having glue over that connector. I wasn't able to remove alot of it because the soldering is flimsy. A replacement is on the way, hopefully in better condition.
Thanks, really appreciate it!
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
Check the small ribbon cable and metal tab are connected properly.
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??
The trackpad has a thermal sensor. When it's removed, the computer assumes it's overheating and runs the fans max speed and the cpu and gpu at reduced performance. Not sure what's causing the overheat, but maybe thermal paste needs to be redone.
@@ItsBinhRepaired
Thank you for your reply.
It is quite weird for example I can watch TH-cam in 4k for hours and all is fine as soon I will open like GPU hungry website for example ventusky processor heats up in few seconds to the point of 75c and fun kicks in then but processor is to hot and it cuts off the power. Any suggestions??
I think have to redo the thermal paste.
@@ItsBinhRepaired
I will try that and see if this helps.
Thank you for your help.
Hope it works.
Where did you get the batteries?
Apple might do a free battery replacement. support.apple.com/13inch-macbookpro-battery-replacement
If not, this will work. amzn.to/3md6vzK
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
You have to make sure the battery is connected right and trackpad is connected properly.
@@ItsBinhRepaired i didnt move the other part of the trackpad just the one near the battery, could it be improperly connected if its pushed down and screwed?
@@ignasbalcius409 check both ends
@@ItsBinhRepaired and what would i be looking for? I did check if it was disconnected (the other end) and it looked alright?
@@ignasbalcius409 just disconnect and reconnect. Other than that, not sure.
the battery replacement has the model number A1713, does that matter
That's the battery model number.
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?
Does it work on battery power?
@@ItsBinhRepaired it just shows the symbol to charge it.
@@mulberryhare9152 never turns on?
@@ItsBinhRepaired so it turns on with it plugged into power but as soon as you remove power cable it will shut off. Also it doesn’t say it’s charging on the system report.
@@mulberryhare9152 sounds like the cable isn't connected properly
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?
This model doesn't have a touchbar. What model is your MacBook?
@@ItsBinhRepaired touchpad i mean. Actually it works and touchbar clicks. But it stays always at 73% and says "service needed". Also internet "broken".
@@user-pl3je1vt8k sounds like bad battery. Did you remove the touchpad before removing the battery?
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeap. Now it says "no battery installed" and fan goes crazy loud.
@@user-pl3je1vt8k make sure it's all lined up properly and the ribbon cables are connected right.
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?
Double check the ribbon cable is in all the way, and the metal tab is lined up properly.
@@ItsBinhRepaired thank you for the quick response, but now I think I screwed it more because it won't turn on 😭🤣
@@RenelisEliza It needs to be plugged in for that.
@@ItsBinhRepaired it is
Hmmm I wonder what happened :(
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.
Sounds like a motherboard issue.
@@ItsBinhRepaired it’s not. I put the old battery back in and it works fine.
I hate how TH-cam doesn't notify me of replies. Were you able to figure it out?
Can someone link me a good battery, becouse the one he used in the video is not avaible
amzn.to/3E5SCKL
what battery do i buy and where do i buy it?
Are you certain it's the correct model and year?
@@ItsBinhRepaired okay i got the right battery and i just took the battery out but i dont have electrical tape to cover the part of the foil on the battery that ripped when removing it, so what should i do??? SCARED LOL
i put it outside on concrete for now so its not in my house
@@ashleyapplegate5988 bring it to best buy and ask them if they'll take care of it, or stab it until it burns to ash lol jk.
@@ItsBinhRepaired okay last question LOL if the battery loses power quickly after installing it, is the battery bad or do i need to fix something? everything is working and its working WAY better than before (it wouldnt even turn on after being plugged in for hours) but i feel like its draining quickly.. i havent used this computer in over a year not sure if that has something to do with 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.
Seems not everything went fine... left the computer in sleep mode with the charger connected as I do every night and when I wake up this morning the battery was at 0%. Somewhere at 2:00 am started to drain and at 7:00 am was at 0%, here is the chart from battery preferences: www.dropbox.com/s/2guu3kee0rph1bv/Battery.png?dl=0
Any advise on this? Thanks
Check the battery connections. Most likely not connected properly/misaligned.
