![15" MacBook Pro Battery Replacement Tutorial [Mid 2015, A1398] #ifixit](/img/tr.png)
Thanks! This video was super helpful. The process of prying the batteries out seems like a much better process than disassembling the whole laptop and using an adhesive remover, as described in other videos. It is important to choose the right tool to do the prying. I used a 1” chisel which worked great. I wish the video had closeups of removing the connectors as that was the part I was most nervous about.
Thanks to this excellent video I successfully replaced my battery, but broke the connector to the trackpad/keyboard, so I had to order another one. I found the URL to the page to buy it in one of the comments.
Here is a trick I used since my old battery was stuck tightly. I put a large wad of cotton in a small dish and soaked it with acetone. I dipped the wide, plastic prying tool into the wet cotton before each time I stuck it under the edges of the old battery. A small amount of acetone seeped in and loosened the adhesive so I was able to remove the battery fairly easily.
IT WORKED! Great instruction, video angles and practical 'how-to'. After the new battery was installed, the tiny cables to connect the battery to the computer were a bit too long so I had to manually and gently bend them into a 'U' to plug in the battery to the motherboard. Also used a flimsy and very thin plastic putty knife type tool to remove the old batteries, worked well. Thanks for the great video.
Im glad you been able to get your laptop battery replaced! its always fun and satisfying getting things fixed :)
Thanks for video. Couple tips for anyone: plastic butterknife for pushing/prying helps (mostly for the 2 center cells). discharge battery so if you puncture the battery it will be less fire, wear eye protection, line up connecter before setting the batteries in place.
Great tip! Safety is always first! Thank you!
Awesome tutorial! Was able to replace the battery on my MacBook in u set an hour. The majority of my time was spent on battery removal! Absolutely nuts how much adhesive they use! But, like it is said in the video, take your time and be patient!
Awesome video. I've managed to do the replacement within 1 hour, thank you!
Excellent! :)
Great video, very detailed and precise. Very helpful, so thank you
thank you so much, if there is a request you have for us to do please let us know :)
Great video, just finished replacing my battery. It was a bit scary, but we did it!
good job! feeling of getting things fix is priceless :)
did you get the same amount of battery life as you did when it was new?
Just changed my battery. Get this, I used a toenail clipper cause I was so worried about the batteries exploding. lol luckily the battery wasn’t as bolted down as yours. There were minima sparks but I had the safety glasses and mask on. Thanks again for the video. You don’t fear the batteries and that was most helpful for me.
it's just plain stupid design to make batteries so hard to replace. thanks for this video
I agree, all needed was 2 basic Philips screws! Thanks for watching :)
Cause they want to make more money by deceiving customers. Not just battery replcement but the motherboard too 🤪
@@bl1tzz1 omg, am I going to have to replace the motherboard too!?
@@ohyeahburgersfortheboys3019 no these people are just stupid af. It’s a simple process, a tiny bit more involved than a PC but not much.
Yeah, what happened to the battery access panel on the back where we could just pop that open and replace the battery with ease?!!!
Thanks for this video. It really helped. I wasn't looking forward to tearing the whole mac apart to take the battery out. Your way was way more effective. Cheers.
Just wanted to drop by to say thank you. Helped me replace my battery without much fuss. That adhesive was much more of a struggle than I had anticipated. But like you said, patience. And a little elbow grease lol.
James You're most welcome! feels great getting this feedbacks :)
thank you David, you just save my mind integrity with this video. I easily and quickly replaced my Macbook Pro battery as I didn't expect at all.
So happy to hear that. Thank you for the kind words!
I know your video is old, but coming across an old battery that was bad in my computer and having to figure out how to install a new one on the road in Colombia was no easy feat. Thanks to your video, it was smooth sailing and I am back to work! I greatly appreciate the tutorial. 🤘🏻🎬👍🏻
Glad I could help!😀❤️
Thanx for the instructions! Just replaced bulged battery, was very nervous, but your voice in background was chilling me out))
I’m glad you been able to replace the battery, I’m sure it feels great, ☺️🍀
Thanks to your video I was able to replace my battery in under 30 mins from start to finish… thank you!!
I’m glad to hear that! That feels so good! Good luck 🍀
Made this so easy to do! Thanks!
I have found that this macbook is part of a free battery replacement program. I had no problems but I decided to take it to apple to get a new battery.
Well, after a year the battery they put on me has swelled, so much so that the macbook no longer rests well on the table.
Much better to do it yourself and thanks to this video I hope to be able to fix it as soon as possible.
A thousand thanks.
Thank you so much, great point
Im so glad to see this because I was just given a broken Macbook Pro I think its the 13, I'm not sure about the year but it is the same model as this. But when I went to take it into Apple in another state since we don't have one where I live in my state, but they also said it was gonna be upwards of like $500 for me to do I was like that is really wild because it only needs a battery replacement. I'm personally just looking for a cheap one to buy lol
Followed your exact instructions today and it worked like a charm. Thank you!!
Glad it helped! 😃
Thanks for the video it helped in my laptop is running like new again.
This is excellent, and I was wondering why so many other videos showed everyone cleaning off the adhesive. Didn't seem to be necessary, and adds a ton of work! Thank you again!
I was wondering the same
great video, probably to best and easy one on youtube for the battery replacement, all went great! thanks :)
This is the second time I had to reference this video for changing out the battery on another computer. Thanks for your detailed instructions!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Thanx for your video! Saved $250, doing it by my own. In service I was told that the cost of replacing the battery approximately $400
Cool, I'm about to replace mine following this video, thanks!
Good luck, tell us how the battery replacemnt did go!
How did it go?
Thank you David, that worked like a charm, thanks to your video. Once I was in there it made a lot of sense to me to clean out all the dust, ants and spider webs from around the world, as well as the ventilators and vent channels. I think the laptop is now one pound lighter than before. In terms of the batterie: It said for a year or so that performance is low and the batterie should be serviced. That was no joke. Already when I opened the bottom I saw that three of six cells were swollen to a rather unhealthy size. 😬 So just to say: If you have that message, better act.
Thank you for the video, it really helps.
Very clear explanation! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much sir. Very helpful!
Thank you David for this video. I will be reaching out by email to get the specific battery that I need for my Mac Book Pro. Thank you!
great job!
Thanks for the video
thank you! ill try it on my old macbook 15" early 2013...of course the battery is different but the procedure must be the same isnt it?
Thank you so much!!!!! Great job!!!!
Great vid, I would have tested the battery before fully installing, just to make sure it wasn't DOA. Cheers.
Good tip!
hi, I replaced my battery but I missed two screws you are installing at 11:01 because the holes on the battery board are misaligned too much from the motherboard. Now my computer is super slow and kernal_task is taking more than 500% CPU. Is this a hardware issue or a software issue?
Well explained! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏😄
Hello sir. Great video, thanks. I just changed the battery but my mac is running very slow, besides fans are working the highest.
Any advise? I will appreciate your help, thanks.
You're the man!!
Thank you!
Hello. This is Mario Lazoski, notebook technician from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Excellent video. You are very didactic. Got another like and another subscriber.
Awesome, thank you Mario 😁❤️
Excellent video. The only adjustment I had to make was to connect the battery and the track pad before firmly seating the battery in place. Excellent video!!!
Glad you were able to fix your laptop! thanks for your comment :)
Great vid! I have a late 2017 model with a dying battery. Do you know if the process would be the same?
We have a video for the 2016 / 2017 model and the installation is little Different
How to Replace battery A1707 / 2016 -2017 Model
czcams.com/video/gVjHD5jawuE/video.html
I managed to replace my batteries in 45 minutes total including reassemble. Thanks for your posting. Saved me lots of time. Unfortunately the replacement battery I purchased would not charge at 1st then would not hold a charge. I purchased another battery off eBay for half the price of that OWC battery that would never fully charge for less than 1/2 the price and it charges to 100% 1st time and does NOT just shut off my Mac with no warning like that OMC (One World Computing) battery did. STAY away from OMC if you are looking for a good battery.
Glad it helped
Thank you for the video. I follower all steps but at the end my MacBook won’t turn on. I don’t even see the light of the charger. What could be the matter? The model of the battery is correct. Any advise? 😭🙏🏻
Thank you for this video. I was able to replace the battery in my mid-2015 MacBook Pro. However, when I removed the plastic covering in the top of the battery, I had already connected the cable that runs from the front of the case over the top of the battery and it tore from it's place at the front. Now my keyboard and track pad no longer work. My bad, agh. How do I fix this?
No worries, i would try replacing the trackpad cable, before buying a new one try removing and placing the old one back, if that did not help than just buy a replacement flex cable and try replacing it.. that may help fixing the issue.

Thanks for the video, will do It now. I'll let you know how it goes :p
Thanks for this guide, it worked perfectly for me. I was able to get my new battery installed in about 30 minutes! This is a much easier method than the one from iFixIt, which is supposed to take like 3 hours. This way was quick and easy.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you :)
Hey! Thanks so much for this video! It was very helpful! I’ve now installed the battery whixh works fine but I seem to have some SMC-issues…I’m trying to figure it out! Would if be ok if I asked you a couple of questions to help me pin down the issue? Would be very appreciated!!
Absolutely, Please Post your questions!
You are a life saver, muchas gracias
thank you so much for your kind comment :)
Hi I just replaced the battery, but the cable(821-2652-A C0318) that goes over the battery came off ( it's a little strap,) Is it fixable or I need a new cable? Please advise and thanks.
Thanks, worked great.
Great to hear!
Hi, great video! Question, after replacing the battery it is not charging. The laptop turned on and is running on battery, but the notification on my computer says plugged in not charging, have you seen this before?
Hey Bro, thank you so much!!!
Thank you 😊
Any tips for when the internal screws are stripped?
Thanks so much
Thank you :)
I have the same problem, where my MacBook doesn’t boot up. I taken out the battery and powered it on but it shows the battery charging logo on the screen.
Thanks for the video; what kind of glove are you using in this video? is that to avoid static?
Thanks for watching! Anti static gloves that also can be found on our website! Thank you
i will to make an upgrade of SSD and change the thermal paste, i need to disconnect the track pad or something else? or just disconnect the baterry?
To change and put new thermal paste for the cpu/gpu all you need is to discounect battery, good luck :)
Good video brother
Thanks for watching
thank you😀
Thank you 🙏
I just needed to know how to Remove battery connection , nothing was working for me , I just removed battery connection then turn back on , and it worked
Hi when if im gonna get my mcbook battery replaced(broken) from apple do i get the old battery back after repair?
No you won't, they recycle the bad battery and you get a laptop with new battery
I use MacBook pro mid 2015.( Battery A1618). But the repair guy replace the battery with A1494 battery. Now i am using it for 2 days now. Is it going to be an issue?
Thanks. I was thinking about changing my battery ... it seems that a new laptop might be a better idea. Will cost more, but less stress ... I hope anyway.
It’s still cheaper to take it to a shop to replace it for you
@@mario7832 interesting idea. Any idea of the price? I was planning to ask Apple store if they do that. I'm in the USA.
New laptop is always Fun if you don't mind paying for it,
it really depends on your needs but in short, battery Replacment is part of most laptop life and its good for environment and your pocket, good luck :)
No adhesive clean up?
Should I back up all my data before doing this? Went to a shop and they said they need to do a factory reset to fit a new battery, is this true?
The two screws that hold the bracket in my Macbook pro are stripped. Both of them! I am so worried. My batteries are bloated, i have to get them out. I tried using rubber band super glue soldering but the screws won't catch or turn. I don't know how else to get the screws out other than attempt to use dremel. But the areas are so tight. I hate macbook.
This looks very doable! Is it unnecessary to remove the old adhesive? That doesn't affect the adhesion or fit of the new battery?
If you want to do it properly and not risking your new battery not sticking to the topcase over time, remove the adhesive. It's faster not to remove the adhesive and some shops do it, because it's faster - but it's not recommendable. Do it right the first time :-)
Hi all, any difference for original and OEM Mac battery?
Ohm and original sam meaning, its just a different way of saying it :)
Good video. All that adhesive is ridiculous. They clearly made it more difficult than necessary on purpose.
Thank you! I agree all they had to use was few screws, but not sure if scientifically there was a Logic behind the gluing.
Great video. I changed my battery but my charger won't charge the battery. What did I do wrong
Thank you! make sure charger is working fine and everything connected properly, Next you may want to do SMC rest, see the link Below on how to rest your macbook SMC

Help me, im in trouble. When i try to pull the battery, one of the batteries sparked. I pushed the philips too hard and it damaged the battery. I am scared to touch my laptop and make the battery explode
Hello there. I changed my battery with your help. I held it down for 10 seconds while turning it off. but the battery is not charging. The green light does not come on either. macbook won't boot. What is the key combination to open?
I think the smc settings are corrupted. macbookpro2015 intel i7
REST You'r SMC. it May Helps.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Disconnect / Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Hi,
Are you still excepting customers for this model battery replacement? I’m very interested in sending my “vintage” MacBook (as Apples calls it) for a battery replacement.
We don't do the battery Replacment but we offer tools and Replacment battery and parts at Tekdep.com incase you like to do the Replacment your self. thank you
Would a heat gun help to loosen the adhesive when removing the battery?
No! No! That will damage the old battery to the point of possible fire or even worse, explosions… don’t even attempt
Never expose a battery to heat, pressure, sharp objects! Can explode or catch in fire. Do not Do That.its always safer to let a professional tech handle the repair.
@@tekdep No problem, thanks.
Hello, my keyboard doesn’t work, can’t login, any suggestions how to fix it?
Make sure keyboard flex cable is in place, remove and reconnect while battery is discounted. next connect the battery and turn on, it may help.
In 2:40 the cable I lost mine what is it called
Hello Habib, it’s called Trackpad flex cable, it connects the trackpad to Logic board and part number is : 821-2652-A
you can find it in our website, link is below
tekdep.com/product/15-apple-macbook-pro-mid-2015-retina-a1398-trackpad-flex-cable-821-2652-a/
y de paso no se le pudo dar una limpieza con una brocha para quitar todo ese sucio que tiene por dentro.
I use a drop of WD40 an detaching was smooth and fast.
Got only problem about loudspeaker now, sound is very low on headphone and don’t have anymore the options of loudspeakers.
W40 always works like magic in every application, I never use it for battery removal but I can imagine... try resting SMC and maybe that fix the other issues

If I remove the battery does the Mac work with the power supply?
yes
While you’re in there, might as well clean the fans and maybe re-paste.
Mine won’t even charge, nothing happens when plugged in (charger) battery issue???
Hi Joseph, Yes that can be your battery,
Common issue that may require battery Replacment:
Won’t Charge at all
Won’t Hold Charge and turns off when charger is disconnected
Will not charge beyond certain percentage
Battery is Blotting/expanding/ Swallowing ( bottom case / trackpad been pushed )
Discharging faster than normal
Error/notice showing / service soon, service now, replace now
tekdep.com/product/apple-2015-macbook-pro-15-a1398-99-5wh-battery-a1618/
what tools are necessary? I see one screwdriver on the site but you are using two in the video
For battery Replacment you will need P5 to open the back case, T5 or T4 to remove the screws holding the battery board, last is Flat Pray Tool to detached the battery from the MacBook chassis. we have many tool set and all are compatible for this project, but I left you an example. good luck

Can the laptop work without a battery, so long as it is continually plugged in?
It will not function properly! It will be lagging and slow
Dumb question: Would it be a good idea to us a piece of fishing line to cut the adhesive pads from the back of the battery, where it fastens to the chassis? It seems that one could feed the fishing line under the battery and use a sawing action to help cut the adhesive pads. And the risk of piercing the battery pack would be far less than using a sharp tool to do it.
Very interesting idea..🤔
Great video and you sound like a very knowledgeable and decent individual 😃
Thank you kindly! :)
😆
My keyboard is not working after replacing the battery. Any idea how to fix it. The smc reset keys are working. But im not able to type anything
Make sure to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard cable, they are famous for going bad due to sensitivity,
Luckily not pricey, here is a link in case you need one

Hey, have the same problem. Did you get it to work?
@@sam_ed i changed the tracking pad and it worked.
@@nivindotin1750 how did you get the new battery out without damaging it?
Use isopropanol and the battery will leave the case itself! So much easier with alcohol cleaner 🤞🏼🤞🏼
The adhesive of the tape is alcohol solvent so you can use any type of alcohol to loosen it but watch out that it contains no mineralized water.
"Thanks for the input! That's correct, alcohol-based solvents can be effective for loosening adhesive tape but we recommend 99% as it evaporates faster and much potent to dissolve the adhesiveness . Yes, important to ensure that the alcohol used doesn't contain water to avoid any potential complications. Appreciate you sharing this tip with us!"
Where is the keypad ? Just under the battery ? Thank you
TrackPad is under the battery and Keyboard is under the logic Board.
@@tekdep thanks
Perhaps some Glue Dissolver or Acetone might have helped?
strongly suggest not doing that as it may cause reaction with the battery or other components, it can damage other parts.
@@tekdep Hi, just to update, I replaced the battery and used glue dissolver and Isopropyl Alcohol to loosen the glue. It didn't react with the battery or any components in the MacBookPro. All working OK.
@@huwjones5879 but incase if the battery skin is damaged or has opening the liquid can find it way inside the battery and that can cause short or damage and it could be risky for someone with minimum exparince. i still dont recommend using any type of liquid but thanks for sharing :)
@@tekdep But iFixit and many others do recommend this and even sell these dissolvers.
Apple replaces the battery and the entire top case when doing this repair (keyboard, trackpad, aluminum housing), so it's essentially like new, for $289.00
Did this and now my keyboard and track pad don't work.
EDIT: Solved! The track pad ribbon was misaligned and I just needed to open it back up and push it in.
The battery still won't charge, however.
Be careful when using adhesive removals or diluted isopropyl! Protect your screens with some cloth!!
Good Tip!
iFixit uses aluminum foil to protect the screen
@@SiBorg8A yeah and thats weird because aluminum doesn't absorb moisture (in this case - isopropyl alcohol) and thus doesn't prevent some drops to reach the screen surface, and so the piece of cloth is more suitable and safe imho
Instructions for starting up the battery?
To Rest SMC / On the MacBook / Pro's keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time. Release all keys and the power button at the same time - the little light on the MagSafe adapter may change colors briefly to indicate the SMC has reset
i did this and now my macbook is charging very slowly. what did i do wrong?
Hi, I will try Resting The SMC, Here is the link on how you can do that.
tekdep.com/2021/11/03/when-the-battery-in-your-mac-notebook-computer-wont-charge-try-one-or-more-of-these-solutions/
@@tekdep tried this multiple times. still charging slow. about 2% in one hour
Has anyone removed the battery by gently pulling a string through the adhesive?
damn, it’s that easy? my mbp has lasted 7 years without repairs and suddenly stopped. this will keep it going for another few years 😂😂
It's That easy 😎
This battery made me shake removing it afraid for it to explode
As far as you do not damage, Pierce, Bent or expose to heat the battery while removing all should be fine, but if you're not experienced you can always have a repair shop do the work, good luck
My mind is blown that you didn't clean the fans while you were at it
Our client had some sentimental attachment to the dust!! Just kidding we cleaned the fans off camera, apologies for not showing it on video!
