MacBook batteries are excellent, but like all batteries they wear out. Knowing the signs — and acting on a swollen battery quickly — can save your laptop and your safety.
Signs your MacBook battery needs replacing
- Swelling — the trackpad lifts, the case bulges, or it won't sit flat. Stop using it and get it replaced immediately.
- Fast drain — it no longer holds charge for long.
- Sudden shutdowns — it powers off even with charge remaining.
- "Service Recommended" in the battery menu, or a very high cycle count.
Why a swollen battery is urgent
A swollen battery is under pressure and can damage the trackpad, keyboard and screen — and in rare cases is a safety risk. It's the one issue you shouldn't postpone.
What replacement involves
We open the MacBook, safely remove the old battery, fit a genuine-grade replacement, and test charging and health. Your data is never touched. Most replacements are done the same day.
What it costs
The cost depends on your exact MacBook model. We confirm the price upfront after checking your machine, with no hidden charges. Every battery replacement carries a warranty.
