MacBook pro 13" A1502 Early 2015 Retina Battery issues Hi everyone. My MacBook's battery swell 3 years ago and i had it removed; but as i couldn't find the original battery, i had to keep going on without battery and as you know it runs really slow... I've showed it to apple store and other computer services. the problem is that they say even with the battery it works the same!!! still too slow!! they say it's a Motherboard problem because it gets too hot. but they can't find out the problem. Could anyone help please? i thought with a new battery it fixes but seems not to be true....

MacBook Battery not detected My mid-2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro running Big Sur 11.7.2 [up to date] has stopped detecting its battery. It boots and runs seemingly normally, but perhaps(?) a little slowly/glitchy when connected to AC power. The battery was replaced by a (now out of business) 3rd party vendor last Spring. When I attempt to boot in Diagnostic mode, I end up in Network Recovery Mode. Nothing there, nor on the EtreCheck report points to a hardware or malware problem in an obvious fashion, but perhaps I know too little to interpret them correctly. I am more than 100 miles from the nearest Apple Store. I have an iPad, iPhone and newer iMac, so having the machine running is more of a convenience than a necessity. I was thinking of attempting a battery replacement myself, but read some older posts pointing to the possibility of further hardware problems that could require replacement of boards and controllers. With my limited hardware skill set, I'm not unsure if I want to replace the battery, given the risk and cost of having diagnose and replace more components on such an old machine. I'd appreciate any suggestions or opinions you might offer.

A 2011 is no longer supported and, even if you get things replaced, it is an extremely old computer. I would not spend any money on a 10 year old computer.

You can replace the battery yourself.
