HI I would like to replace my 2010 Mac Pro Battery, unfortunately, it's died so I can't find the cereal or model number for my Mac, can any one give me an answer or a link to buy a replacement battery!
Thanks

Apple Menu (hold the 'alt' key down) select System Information.
That will list the 'model identifier' in the hardware section.
Enter that into google along with 'PRAM battery' or 'NVRAM battery' & you should find the battery type & probably the spec.
Chances are it is a coin cell…

Unless you have confused the Mac Pro with Mac Book Pro etc.
Apple also have 'user installable parts' guides for many Mac Pro's so search for those too…
Perhaps it is this one…

You could use a serial number lookup service online to see exactly
the build model (when built/where, and as-shipped hardware spec)
and other details about the computer you have.
• Mac Serial Number Info - Lookup your Apple Serial Number:
https://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
This one offers that information, and also a page of part/numbers.
And this could be used to get a matching part elsewhere; once
you correctly identify the build model, type, & year of your Mac.
Be it a clock/pram battery for Desktop model; or one for a Portable.
And then there also is the main power battery for a portable, too.
These require specific types, shapes, and power specs per machine series.
Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
For your own sake PLEASE clarify. You ask about a Mac Pro--a big desktop computer--but your equipment profile says "MAcBook Pro, notebook computer. There are vast differences between battery requirements fo a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. The Mac Pro needs only a small coin-type battery to preserves settings if the computer gets unplugged. A MacBook Pro has a large battery that has to power everything.
If this is a notebook Mac, all 2010 MacBook Pros have a built-in battery that Apple does not sell as a part. They do not consider the battery user-serviceable. Apple will repalce it in an Apple Store. Pricng is in this article:
Mac notebooks Service Pricing - Apple Support
There are third-party batteries out there but many are counterfeits that could damage your computer. I would use the Apple option.
