Need a battery replacement for your MacBook Pro 15-inch (2016–2019)? We carry out this work in-house at our London workshop, with a fixed quote before we start.
The battery is glued to the top case. We remove it safely and fit a new one, or fit a top case assembly if the keyboard is also due. After fitting we test under load, because these machines draw a lot of power.
The 15-inch battery is bigger than the 13-inch. We check that the charging circuit supports its higher draw after fitting.
About this model: The 15-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro (A1707 and A1990) packs a quad or six-core Intel CPU and Radeon Pro graphics into a thin body, which means heat. Add the butterfly keyboard and wearing display cables, and you have the main repair themes.
Signs it needs a battery replacement
- Swollen battery
- Short run time
- Shutdowns under load
- Service warning
How we do it
First we confirm the battery really is the problem: cycle count, reported condition, and a check of the charger and charging circuit.
The battery here is held with adhesive. We release it with the correct solvent or pull-tabs instead of prying, which is how batteries get punctured and nearby cables get torn.
We then calibrate the new battery, confirm it charges from every port, and dispose of the old cells through a proper battery recycling route.

Before you bring it in
Back up your data if you can, note roughly how long a charge lasts now, and bring the charger too, so we can rule it out as the cause.

Questions we’re often asked
How long will the new battery last?
A new battery should give you close to the run time it had when new, and typically lasts several years with normal use. Keeping it away from long periods at 100% charge and high heat helps it age more slowly.
Do you need to erase my Mac?
No. Your files stay where they are. We only need your password if you’d like us to test macOS after the repair, and we’ll ask before we log in.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, our repairs come with a warranty on the work and parts. Ask us for the terms that apply to your repair.
