Replacement battery for MacBook Air 13-inch

This new lithium-ion polymer battery replaces models A1496, A1405 and A1377 in MacBook Air 13-inch units from 2010 through 2017. It delivers a rated capacity of 60.8 Wh at 7.6 V using 8000 mAh cells. The pack weighs 314.6 grams and is built to fit the original battery bay without modification.

Installation kit included in the package

The box supplies the battery pack, a set of installation tools, printed instructions and a service manual. These accessories let a user swap the old cell without sourcing separate screwdrivers or prying tools. The manual walks through each step for the supported model identifiers.

Dual-layer safety circuit and premium cells

The pack integrates a dual-layer protection circuit that guards against overcharge, overload, short circuit and temperature excursions. Premium cells are selected for stable output over repeated cycles. The design matches the original form factor so the MacBook sits flat and the trackpad click force stays unchanged. Buyers needing a higher-wattage pack or a battery for a 15-inch model will not be served by this part.

Questions about this item

How often will the 8000 mAh lithium-ion polymer cells need replacing under normal daily cycling?

The 60.8 Wh pack is rated for hundreds of full cycles; typical users see several years before capacity drops below 80 percent and a replacement becomes practical.

What thermal limit appears first when the 7.6 V 60.8 Wh battery runs a sustained heavy workload?

The built-in dual-layer safety circuit monitors temperature and will throttle output before the cells reach their upper thermal threshold, protecting both the pack and the MacBook.

Does the 314.6 g replacement battery run hotter or draw more power than the original Apple unit during all-day use?

It matches the factory 7.6 V 8000 mAh specification, so heat output and power draw remain equivalent to the original battery under identical workloads.
