***Important: This wasn't mentioned or emphasized in the video, but when removing the trackpad cable be sure to flip-up the tiny little tab that's connected to the lower-connecter before proceeding to pull the trackpad cable out of it!👌🏾
THISSS! There was no mention of flipping up the tiny tab and I didn’t flip it and it seems like something happened with where the wire connects and now my keyboard/trackpad is no longer working.
Thanks man, I just now successfully changed my battery. It would drain to 0% in 2 hours, doable but I knew it would just get worse and it was dying on me in class so I finally bought the battery and this vid helped me get it done.
@@DKyugioh Yeah, on Amazon. Looked up which one was meant for my laptop, bought it, then generally followed the vid's directions. Been 2 months now and it's working great.
You are such a real one man, I didn’t even need help with my battery I just needed to clean my fan and couldn’t find a video showing how to disconnect my specific MacBooks battery but you have the same one as me and showed it very clearly thanks !
thank you so much! my dad needs his computer for most of his work and his computer turns off randomly and dies randomly, wont charge sometimes, etc. so Im gonna tell him he needs a new battery and we will install it 2gether.
I’ve never tried on standby mode. But for battery usage in a normal mode, I can use it up to 9 hours or 10 hours in some cases. But I believe on standby mode, it should last longer.
Thank you! very helpful, battery changed successfully thank you again. The alcohol (I use 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol) and the scalper was very useful, the battery went off so easily.
I have used it for a year now. It lasts as long as the original about 9h to 10h depending on the usage. Its capacity now drops to 98% after 1 year of usage.
make sure to PROPERLY insert the battery connector. I thought I had but it turns out the battery connector was slightly unplugged and I thought I had a "bad" new battery. So, i opened it again and verified the connector, and that's when i realized about my mistake.
Hey iv replaced mine recently and my laptop is working fine how ever in system preferences it says there is no battery installed and i cant see a batt % ? any ideas
It works great. It lasts longer than the Apple battery for the time being. Currently, I can use my MacBook close to 11 hours. However, I'm not sure if it will last 4 years as the Apple battery.
Are you serious? The MacBook model tells us what battery we need to buy without having to opening the cover. I don’t know many types of battery that can fit in MacBook A1502 but as long as it is claimed by the manufacturer that it is compatible, I’ll go for it.
Did it work before? If so, try to completely remove the cable on both ends and reconnect. If the problem still persists, you might need to replace your trackpad and keyboard cable.
If that is the case, here is another video of Step-by-Step Guide on How to Replace the Trackpad and Keyboard Cable on a 13-inch MacBook Pro 2015 th-cam.com/video/TOVaN6oaiTk/w-d-xo.html
I replaced mine - Thanks for the video - BUT now my speakers now sound terrible! I've tried pram resets and other troubleshooting steps but they still sound hollow and crackly. Appreciate any thoughts if anyone else had this issue?
@@CamTechElearning - After replacing the battery with a non oem replacement. Both left and right have the same crackle and thin sound. It's a shame as the new battery seems fine...it's just the audio is terrible now.
It’s not supposed to happen because these are two completely different things. I think the problem comes from your speakers. They may be the faulty speakers.
Well now my keyboard and track pad don’t work at all following this video. I have tried for the past hour to reattach the trackpad ribbon but it refuses to fully slide in - the small plastic tab on top of the end of the trackpad ribbon snapped off. Now I am stuck with a MacBook Pro that I can’t even log into because the keyboard and mouse trackpad won’t work anymore
@@CamTechElearning I even bought a new cable and it still won't work. Following this video completely destroyed my MacBook Pro and I had to get a new one as the original is slow and sluggish and won't work anymore after attempting to replace the battery
@@Noise-Conductor and what business is it of yours other than being a troll? How are you helping right now? I followed this video and now as a result, lost 3 years of data and my MacBook Pro is slow sluggish it is unusable. I learned my lesson - take it to the Apple Store and let them do the work. But you? Do you normally go around kicking people when they are down? Is that your "Poetic Noise?" Thanks buddy. You must be a real gem of a person.
Don't use this method to replace battery. 2 of my keys letters stop working when somehow some alcohol got to them. Too risky to do it like this. Found out the hard way...ruining my machine. Try using a heat gun/hair dryer on low on the palm aluminum surface on the other side to loosen the glue.

Should have read your comment first. I fried my mainboard because I didnt unplug it now my macbook is broken. Damn.

Really. Reedit your video or take it down. This small neglicence fried my keyboard.

You’re welcome
Did you buy an original new battery? And if yes, where did you buy it?
@@DKyugioh Yeah, on Amazon. Looked up which one was meant for my laptop, bought it, then generally followed the vid's directions. Been 2 months now and it's working great.
A1502 it's macbook model, A1582 it's battery model
The tip about the alcohol was spot on! ++

@@CamTechElearning Do you need an anti static mat? What was the blue thing under neath the lap top?
It be better if you have it. It is not necessary as long as you keep both feet above the floor or wear shoes. The blue thing is plastic sheet.
It's worth mentioning that the screws from the back cover are different length!!! Check before removing
Cool. I didn't know you could do this. I have a 15inch needing a new battery, this is really useful. Thank you :)
You’re welcome
thank you so much! my dad needs his computer for most of his work and his computer turns off randomly and dies randomly, wont charge sometimes, etc. so Im gonna tell him he needs a new battery and we will install it 2gether.
Thanks so much!! The battery change was a success! 🎉
You’re welcome
Good detail, sure helped me with my replacement, thanks.
Please how long did your replaced battery last on standby
I’ve never tried on standby mode. But for battery usage in a normal mode, I can use it up to 9 hours or 10 hours in some cases. But I believe on standby mode, it should last longer.
Thank you! very helpful, battery changed successfully thank you again. The alcohol (I use 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol) and the scalper was very useful, the battery went off so easily.
Thank you for this video mate really helped me out.
Very good. I am accustomed to nuclear plant training materials--this is top-notch.
So how was the battery life since the install in 2020
It only lasted 2 years. It was replaced with a new one 2 years ago.
God bless you man! Your video just helped me in changing my 2015 MacBook Pro.
You’re welcome
@@CamTechElearningbro, macbook pro 2015 អាចប្រើបានអត់ បើយើងគាស់ថ្មដែលប៉ោងខូចចោល ហើយដោតផ្ទាល់នឹងដុំសាក់របស់វា?
Can i just remove the battery and just use the charger as my main power source?
No. MacBook pro doesn’t have a power supply like iMac.
super helpful sucks that the like dislike ratio doesn’t show
Thank you so much! 😍 It went flawlessly! 👍
Whats the best replacement brand?
Excellent Video! Tnx, I need to replace2015 MacBook pro 2015!
How good is the performance of the battery compared to the original one?
I have used it for a year now. It lasts as long as the original about 9h to 10h depending on the usage. Its capacity now drops to 98% after 1 year of usage.
Do you have to wait 12 hours inorder to put the new battery in for the capacitor memory?
No not really. I just replaced right after I removed the old battery
@@CamTechElearning what's a good site to get a screen replacement? The screen just went black out of nowhere
It depends on where you live and your budget.
Be careful when using adhesive removals or diluted isopropyl! Protect your screens with some cloth!!
how is the battery now? i did a replacement in 2020 and now it's in 50% battery life again
It has already been replaced with a new one since 4 months ago.
thank you brother!
You’re welcome
thank you
Thanks a lot. your video was a big help for me.
Thank u
You’re welcome
Hi!
If the battery needs to be replaced the mac start to get slower by design? Even if it's on charger?
No. Battery has nothing to do with slow operating system.
It’s slow not because of the battery replacement, but because of you upgrading your MacOS to later or the latest version.
If you downgrade it back to High Sierra, it will be fast again.
@@CamTechElearning thank you!
make sure to PROPERLY insert the battery connector. I thought I had but it turns out the battery connector was slightly unplugged and I thought I had a "bad" new battery. So, i opened it again and verified the connector, and that's when i realized about my mistake.
Hey iv replaced mine recently and my laptop is working fine how ever in system preferences it says there is no battery installed and i cant see a batt % ? any ideas
That was not supposed to happen. What year is your macbook?
How is the battery now?
It works great. It lasts longer than the Apple battery for the time being. Currently, I can use my MacBook close to 11 hours. However, I'm not sure if it will last 4 years as the Apple battery.
Would acetone work as a adhesive remover???
Based on expert's recommendation, alcohol is better than acetone.
I used nail polish remover & it worked.
The battery model is on the battery not on the Macbook A1502 can fit two different battery types...
Are you serious? The MacBook model tells us what battery we need to buy without having to opening the cover. I don’t know many types of battery that can fit in MacBook A1502 but as long as it is claimed by the manufacturer that it is compatible, I’ll go for it.
I recommend Hamad Benaicha and Apple Pie Tech's videos... the only thing you truly need to remove is the trackpad cable.
Thank you man!
You’re welcome
Awesome, thank you!!
Very useful
after changing battery my mac cant charging :( looks battery about 0% hmm maybe must jump 1st with 85watt magsafe for this new battery?
I’ve got the same issue, was you able to find a fix?
thanks :)
You’re welcome
Wow good job...
great vid
Thanks. 💪👌👍
can u update if your batt is ok?
the new battery has zero charge yah?
yes the battery works great. It is still at 105%
My keyboard and trackpad isn’t working now :( I tried plugging and unplugging but still nothing

What is the part that the trackpad cable connects to?
Is this battery still working?
It had been used for about 2 or 3 years before it was replaced with another one. At least it’s a lot cheaper than replacing at Apple Repair shop.
I replaced mine - Thanks for the video - BUT now my speakers now sound terrible! I've tried pram resets and other troubleshooting steps but they still sound hollow and crackly. Appreciate any thoughts if anyone else had this issue?
Did it happen before you replaced the battery or after? Do they come originally with the mac or replacements?
@@CamTechElearning - After replacing the battery with a non oem replacement. Both left and right have the same crackle and thin sound. It's a shame as the new battery seems fine...it's just the audio is terrible now.
It happens to me. But i hadn't change the battery

You have to be very gentle when detaching and re-attaching the cable. It’s very delicate and fragile.
@@CamTechElearning I even bought a new cable and it still won't work. Following this video completely destroyed my MacBook Pro and I had to get a new one as the original is slow and sluggish and won't work anymore after attempting to replace the battery
@@trevorgoodchild4603 So this video made you break your MacBook not your lack of technical skills.

@@trevorgoodchild4603 So it's this video fault that you didn't back up your important data in 3 years? LOL
It took me hours to remove the glue and many broken cards. Be sure to buy isopropyl or acetone remover and cover your nose!

I bought the fucking wrong battery 💀😭
Geezus. Why couldn’t they just make batteries like the used to? Pop open and pop a new one in?
So annoying
the "have the macbook pro dead" is not needed lol
You need to calibrate the battery first and let die and recharge 100%
Bro I didn’t even see how you took off track pad cable… all bad
Sorry my video got corrupted for that section.
Just look at the part where he reconnects it at 9:52
This video is super helpful! Thank you.
