MacBook Pro Battery Replacement (Early 2011 to Mid 2012)

Depending on the model of MacBook Pro you own, replacing the battery can be either super easy or incredibly difficult and time-consuming. The best, least stressful (but more expensive) choice is to take it in for service – especially if it's still under warranty – but it's possible to do it yourself.

The specific steps to follow to replace a MacBook Pro battery depend on the model you have. Newer versions of the laptop tend to have their batteries glued inside the case, and you have to remove that glue to get the part out, then replace it when you install the new one.

Once you've identified your MacBook Pro model, you can search for "MacBook battery replacement" on a site like iFixit for instructions. If you decide to do this job yourself, you should carefully review the instructions for your specific model to avoid damaging other components. Doing so may also convince you that it is easier to let someone else do it.
