Hi
I am receiving Important Battery Message, which states, The battery's capacity is significantly reduced. To restore capacity, please check service options?
Is it possible to resolve this without taking to apple service desk?
Please help.
thank you
Rajesh
MacBook Air
The only justification for replacing a battery on your own is if Apple no longer services that Mac, leaving literally no other option.
Batteries - Service and Recycling - Apple
Apple charges $129 for MacBook Air battery replacement, plus tax. I understand things like VAT can be expensive, but you would have to pay tax for aftermarket batteries too. Quality aftermarket batteries from reputable vendors are no less expensive anyway.
If you can have Apple replace it, definitely have Apple replace it. They will perform a thorough diagnosis to make sure the battery is in fact defective and needs replacement, and the problems are not being caused by something else. They will also guarantee their work and provide a warranty.
Batteries are like shoes. When they become worn, they have to be replaced.
Until then, you can keep using your Mac without ill effect.
Thank you John.. looks like I will have to wait until it significantly goes out.
i saw some Mac air batteries online, not sure replacing Mac battery is easy to replace or do I have to go to apple store to replace and pay 300$?
oh if it is $129 + tax from Apple, I will definitely prefer it from Apple. Thank you so much for your help.
Mac Air - Battery's capacity significantly reduced, restore ?
