2013 Mac Book Air battery replacement


 

One of my 2013 Mac Book Airs (mid 2013) had a battery failure after twelve years of service. Does anyone have a recommended source of replacement batteries?
?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello John,

You can get a replacement battery for your 2013 MacBook Air from several places:

  1. Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider: This is the most reliable option, and the battery will be genuine. You can schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider through Apple's website.

  2. Online retailers: Websites like Amazon, eBay, or Newegg often have third-party batteries available. Be cautious, as quality may vary, and check reviews to ensure you're purchasing a reputable product.

  3. iFixit: iFixit is well-known for offering high-quality replacement parts for various devices, including MacBook Air batteries. They also provide step-by-step guides to help you install the replacement yourself if you're comfortable doing so.

  4. Local repair shops: Some independent repair shops may have compatible batteries available, and they can also install the new battery for you.

If you're not sure about doing the replacement yourself, it might be worth going through Apple or an authorized repair provider to ensure proper installation.

With kind regards,

David

It’s shocking how wide a range of prices exist for seemingly identical replacement batteries for Mac laptops. Some are only $25 to $40, and others, like OWC, can be well over $100.

It's likely that there are in reality only a few Asian manufacturers of laptop batteries, and that everyone else just puts their label on them, including well known sources such as OWC.

I note that some batteries have 18 or 24 month warranties and others only 12.

I usually recommend Egoway batteries purchased from Amazon. They are reasonably reliable, and usually very reasonably priced. They only have a one year warranty, but they have excellent service and support.

$40

However, several consultants I know of recommend this source for laptop batteries. Their quality is excellent, and the service swift and helpful. They offer Xtend battery packs that have genuine Samsung lithium cells in them. They come with a two year warranty.

Laptop Battery Express
$114

Personally, I’d go with the Egoway battery. At about1/3 the price of the Xtend battery, you can’t go far wrong.
