A MacBook that loses charge fast, shuts down early or shows a battery service warning may need a new battery. We check it and quote before any work starts.
On a recent Mac, open System Settings, Battery, and look at Battery Health. A Service Recommended message means Apple's own check says the battery has aged.
A MacBook that used to last all day and now needs the charger by mid-morning has a tired battery.
It switches off at 20 or 30 percent, or when you open a heavy app.
If the trackpad is lifting or the case no longer sits flat, stop using the MacBook and bring it in.
We test the battery and the charging so you know what needs replacing.
You hear the price before we start. Looking at the MacBook is free.
We fit the new battery and make sure the MacBook charges and runs on it.
