Compatible replacement battery

The GOLDIX A1618 is a new lithium-ion battery built for the MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina model A1398 released in mid 2015. It replaces Apple part numbers A1618, A1398, 020-00079, MJLQ2LL/A, MJLT2LL/A and MJLU2LL/A. The cell delivers 11.36 volts and 99.5 watt-hours in a black casing.

Package contents and support

The box contains one battery and no additional tools, cables or software. The supplier offers email support with a 24-hour response commitment and a 12-month warranty period for the unit.

Installation notes

Replacing the battery requires opening the Retina chassis and disconnecting the original pack, which is held by proprietary screws and adhesive strips. Builders without a pentalobe driver, a tri-wing bit and a spudger often damage the trackpad flex cable or strip the screw heads. The battery ships with a partial charge; a full calibration cycle is recommended after the first boot.

Questions about this item

When will the 99.5Wh lithium-ion cell need replacing?

The battery is rated for typical lithium-ion cycle life; expect reduced runtime after several hundred full charge cycles.

What limits runtime during a full day of work?

The 99.5Wh capacity sets the energy ceiling; sustained heavy loads will deplete it faster than light use.

Does the pack run hot or draw extra power under constant load?

Normal operation stays within the 11.36V design; heat and power draw match the original Apple specification.
