I got this battery through a friend from China within the following specs 14.8V 30Wh 2000mAh replacement battery, company Lappy Power.
im using a 13” mid 2012 A1466 MacBook Air, 1.8 GHz Core i5 with macOS Mojave, version 10.14.1
Only if you want to kill your Macbook Air motherboard and its electronic circuits.
7.6 volts is not 14.8 volts. They have to either match or be substantially close.
Think of it as the difference between a garden hose and a fire hose that you need to connect to your house water spigot.
My external AC power adapter provides 14.85 volts into the MBA, but this voltage is regulated down to closer to that of the battery voltage needed.

Hi Kaz-k, thank you so much. Could you kindly explain more for my understanding? My friend said he was told by the shop attendant that this battery is compatible with my 2012 Mac.. do you think it might blow out some components because of the higher volts??
Thanks, appreciate it..!!!
Hi,
I think you shouldn't.
You'd be feeding your Macbook with twice the voltage it should be getting, which can't be a good idea.
Thanks Roger... this is very helpful... though it means I have a new battery which I cannot use then 😓😓😓
Thank you so much, appreciate it 😊🙏-1F3FD;
Hi guys, can I replace a 7.6V 54.4Wh 7150mAh battery with one 14.8V 30Wh 2000mAh replacement battery? This is for my MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.6 13"(A1466 Mid-2012)?
