Inleiding

Onderdelen

MacBook Air 13” (Mid 2010 to 2017) Replacement Battery

Stap 1

Schakel het toestel uit, klap het scherm dicht en leg je laptop op een zachte ondergrond voordat je verdergaat.
Verwijder de volgende tien schroeven:
Twee 9 mm lange 5-punts Pentalobe-schroeven
Acht 2.6 mm lange 5-punts Pentalobe-schroeven
De speciale schroevendraaier die nodig is om de acht 5-punts Pentalobe-schroeven te verwijderen, vind je hier.

Stap 2

Duw je vingers tussen het scherm en de onderste behuizing en trek de behuizing omhoog om deze van de rest van de Air te verwijderen.
Verwijder de onderste behuizing en leg deze opzij.

Stap 3

Pak het doorzichtige plastic treklipje dat aan de batterijaansluiting is bevestigd vast en trek het richting de voorkant van de Air om de batterij van het moederbord los te koppelen.
Probeer te voorkomen dat je de aansluiting in deze stap omhoogtrekt.

Stap 4

Verwijder de vijf schroeven waarmee de batterij in de behuizing is bevestigd:
Drie T5 Torx-schroeven van 6.3 mm
Twee T5 Torx-schroeven van 2.4 mm

Stap 5

Voorkom bij het verwijderen van de batterij dat je de vier blootliggende lithium-polymeercellen aanraakt of indrukt.
Til de batterij omhoog vanaf de kant die het dichtst bij het moederbord ligt en verwijder de batterij uit de behuizing.
Als je een nieuwe batterij installeert, raden we je aan de batterij te kalibreren na installatie:
Laad de batterij op tot 100% en laat 'm nog minimaal twee uur aan de lader liggen. Koppel de lader vervolgens los en gebruik je toestel tot de batterij leeg is. Wacht minimaal vjf uur en laad je laptop tot slot nog een keer ononderbroken op tot 100%.
Als je laptop zich vreemd gedraagt na het vervangen van de batterij, raden we je aan de SMC van je MacBook te resetten.
Je nieuwe batterij bevat waarschijnlijk plastic beschermfolie en andere bescherming. De folie is makkelijk te verwijderen en moet worden verwijderd voordat je de nieuwe batterij kunt bevestigen, maar de andere beschermlaag is dikker en beschermt de batterij tegen schade. Verwijder deze laag dan ook niet van de batterij.

Thanks for the easy step by step guide. MacBook working like a dream again

I received the batter for my late 2010 in good order. The instructions were easy to follow and the replacement went well. The two tools mentioned are a must - the P5 pentalobe and T5 torx.

My disappointment is that the battery from iFixit is, in fact, not new. No, it has not been used and shows 6700 mAh design capacity. However, Coconut Battery reports the manufacture date of the battery as 12-14-2011 or 1134 days. Also, I am getting 4-6 hours when I expected 5-7. What is the shelf life of an unused battery?

Perhaps iFixit may wish to change the battery description from "Brand New" to "Never Used" and put the manufacture date.

Thanks

Sounds like you did not follow the conditioning procedure?

grant varga - 13/05/20

My battery arrived today and I was able to install it in about 30 minutes (I have not done this before). My Mac is up and running and the battery has charged up and is in use.

Thanks for all the help.

I followed this instructions. Everything is fine except that I cannot fully insert the pull tab back into the battery connector. How hard do you have to push ? Does it have to make a click ?

Julien Salort - 19/04/17

Hello Julien,

It will not click, but it will need about the same amount of force to push it in as the amount needed to pull it out. This being said, you should check the battery connector for any debris, and look at all the pins to make sure nothing is broken. Let us know if you succeed!

Worked great! I used an egg carton for the screws, an ifixit 52 piece toolkit — which I love! — and the battery switch was painless and worked immediately. Many thanks! The sixteen year old girl can get back to her tweeting now. Thank God.

Best,

Ira

All went smoothly! A little bit more explanantion about re-inserting the power connector would have been nice. . . . . . .

Saved my 2011 MacAir.

thanks!!!

If you don’t already have these tiny screwdrivers, you might want to also buy the P-5 Pentalobe screwdriver and the little plastic tool (“Spudger”) from IFIXIT. My local hardware store did not have the P-5, so it was a good thing I had ordered it. And the little plastic spudger was helpful in pushing the new battery connector plug into the jack on the board. Getting the T-5 Torx, too, could be handy just to avoid a trip to the hardware store. The price on IFIXIT was not significantly more than I paid at the local Ace hardware.

The instructions you have given to calibrate the new battery are different from the ones that came with it. How do I proceed?

Patricia Lacerda - 22/04/19

I have found the answer. There are 2 different procedures, one is called CONDITIONING and the other is CALIBRATING. Conditioning of a brand new battery involves one cycle of 12 h uninterrupted charging followed by complete drainage of the battery until MacBook shuts down (repeat this 3 times). Calibrating can be done afterwards on old batteries and involves the usual instructions given by many websites (here, Lifewire, Apple, etc).

Hi. I did also reset the SMC after replacing the batteries.

Do i remove the plastic film on the new battery?

John - 23/02/21

Hi John,

If the plastic film is an easily removable layer, you can remove it. If it is glued onto the battery, do not remove the layer.

Arthur Shi - 25/02/21

how important is it to keep the plastic film on the battery? i didn’t see the message at the beginning and removed it :(

if it is important, i would include that message to the step where the new battery is installed.

matthewyo -

Good point! I will add a note in the last step. The battery may come installed with a liner and/or thin plastic film. The plastic film is easily removable and should be removed before installation. The liner helps with installation and acts as a layer of defense against punctures.

Instructions simples, il suffit de les suivre et c’est parfait.

10 minutes chrono sans se presser.

Avec le kit de tournevis c’est pratique.
