Replacement Battery for MacBook Air 13-inch

This new lithium-ion battery replaces models A1496, A1405 and A1377 in MacBook Air 13-inch systems from 2010 through 2017. It delivers 8100 mAh at 7.6 V for 61.56 Wh of capacity. Installation tools and a guide are included.

Upgrade from Depleted Original Cells

The unit supersedes an aged factory pack that no longer holds a useful charge. Swapping is worthwhile when runtime has fallen below daily needs or the system reports a service-battery warning. It restores the original voltage and capacity specification without altering the platform.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Japanese cells and the BattArmor protection circuit maintain stable output during extended use while guarding against overcharge, overload, short-circuit and temperature excursions. The pack is quality-certified for reliable long-term operation under continuous discharge.

Questions about this item

What screw sizes secure the A1496 battery inside the MacBook Air 13-inch A1466?

The replacement battery uses the original Apple pentalobe and tri-wing screws already present in the A1466 chassis; the included tool kit provides the matching bits for removal and reinstallation.

Which step do installers most often skip when fitting the A1405 battery into an A1369 MacBook Air?

After seating the battery, the connector must be pressed straight down until it clicks; angling the plug leaves the battery unrecognised by the SMC.

How often should the 8100 mAh 7.6 V pack be calibrated to keep the BattArmor protection circuit accurate?

Perform a full charge to 100 %, rest two hours, then discharge to sleep once per quarter; the onboard gauge re-learns the true capacity without extra hardware.
