I ordered a battery for my MacBook Pro and it was exactly as indicated on the website. Took just over a week to arrive so very happy with that as well.

Thank you so much for your kind words on the recent product review you left for your purchase on our website and thank you for shopping with us! We're very happy to have you as a customer. My name is Robert, I am the owner of Macfixit Australia and I was hoping that if you had a little more time and if it was not too much trouble perhaps you could also leave a note of your positive experience under the Product Reviews webpage for us as well. We find that unless we ask our customers, we very rarely have any positive notes left under this Product Review page and it certainly helps other potential customers in the decision making to determine if they should purchase from us. If you left your positive note I would very much appreciate it.

I would like to recommend people to complete your purchase if you still hesitant to check out your cart. The customer service is fantastic they even reply on Sunday. And the battery running without any issues, it indeed give me MacBook a second life. BTW, the instructions and tools included which means you do not need to source any tools!

Others on here have taken the short cut to replacing the battery, by using fishing line of dental floss - I chose the latter and it worked for me, instead of removing all the individual components - you just have to be careful and patient. With an abundance of patience I had the battery replaced and the back on within 1.5 hours. The battery is holding its charge well. You might want to consider draining it and recharging it several times to ensure maximum performance - I did this based on the advice from another forum where an IT expert who handled equipment said he would always do this when replacing batteries and said it was essential to get maximum charge and life (in fact he said 5 minimum to 10 preferably).

I have no idea why you have to pull the whole machine apart - started doing that and realised I had a strong chance of breaking something. Was able to remove battery using dental floss and supplied adhesive remover and sliding cards. Working Mac and battery.

Ditched the more detailed instructions that involve pulling the whole machine apart and went with the fishing line under the battery trick and had the battery swapped over in about 15mins. Just slide fishing line under each section of the battery to delaminate from the adhesive then remove and swap. Wear gloves as fishing line cuts deep. Doing this way is a lot better than prying as you don’t risk bending the battery and we know what happens with batteries when you bend them. Haven’t had a single problem with it. A+

Bought a battery for my MBP 10,1 (mid2012). I followed the very detailed video and did it myself. It took a while but It didn't go as planned. The battery didn't seem to charge and the computer did not turn on. I reached out to NewerTech and they were fantastic, offering info and a free shipping return thinking it could have been a bad battery. Although I didn't know it at the time, I worked out I had damaged the trackpad cable while removing the old battery and glue - USER ERROR! Luckily I had access to another old machine that I could scavenge the cable from (and trackpad - it seems they might be a matched pair as my old trackpad didn't work with the 'new cable'). After many pull apart and rebuilds, the MBP fired up and charged. I wiped the SSD, installed Catalina and it is as good as new. Fast, powerful with a long battery life. Definitely worth it as it is still a relevant machine

Excellent instructional video. The whole process takes a while but there's nothing particularly difficult. New battery is great.
