Product identity and target users

The NShi A1406 is a 35Wh 7.3V lithium-ion replacement battery built for 11.6 inch MacBook Air models A1370 Mid 2011 and A1465 Mid 2012 through Early 2015. It suits owners of those specific machines who need a fresh power source matching the original 4680mAh capacity. Buyers with a 2010 A1370 or any other MacBook line cannot use this unit.

Installation fit and included hardware

The pack slides into the existing battery bay using the original screw points and ships with two screwdrivers for the internal fasteners. It connects to the same logic-board header as the factory cell, so no adapter cables or firmware steps are required. Builders working on unrelated laptop families or needing a higher-capacity alternative will not find a match here.

Sustained operation behaviour

Grade A polymer cells deliver the rated 35Wh continuously without the voltage sag seen in aged originals, keeping the 1.3 GHz to 2.0 GHz processors fed during long sessions. The chemistry maintains stable output across the full discharge curve rather than only in short bursts. Users expecting runtime beyond the original specification or support for newer MacBook models will not get it from this part.

Questions about this item

How long will the 35Wh capacity last under sustained load?

The 35Wh 4680mAh lithium-ion pack delivers runtime proportional to your MacBook Air 11 inch workload; heavier sustained use reduces available hours accordingly.

Does the battery generate extra heat or noise during all-day operation?

The replacement cell runs at the same 7.3V as the original Apple unit, so thermal and acoustic behaviour matches the factory battery under continuous use.

Which MacBook Air models accept the A1406 without modification?

Fits MacBook Air 11 inch A1370 Mid 2011 and A1465 Mid 2012, Mid 2013, Early 2014, Early 2015; does not fit A1370 2010 version.
