I am replacing the bad battery on my MacBook Air (13-inch 2017). It has reached the end of its life. It is causing my trackpad to act up. I can only use the bottom right of the trackpad to click. (Mouse movement is fine) will the new battery take care of the pressure on the trackpad?
Will the trackpad return to normal after the new battery is installed, or do I need to replace that as well?

Hello!
When Apple replaces the battery, it should fix the trackpad issue. If not, Apple can service that for you as well!

As a reminder, only go to Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or send your device to Apple for service (if applicable or available). Do not go to a 3rd party/unauthorized repair center or attempt a repair yourself. This is for the assurance of authorized and professional repairs that use genuine Apple parts.

Beware of counterfeit parts
Some counterfeit and third party power adapters and batteries may not be designed properly and could result in safety issues. To ensure you receive a genuine Apple battery during a battery replacement, we recommend visiting an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you need a replacement adapter to charge your Apple device, we recommend getting an Apple power adapter.
Also non-genuine replacement displays may have compromised visual quality and may fail to work correctly. Apple-certified screen repairs are performed by trusted experts who use genuine Apple parts.
