![15" MacBook Pro Battery Replacement Tutorial [Mid 2015, A1398] #ifixit](/img/1.gif)
I was super nervous about changing the battery on my 2015 Pro and considered paying to have Apple to replace it, but I stumbled across this video and you did such a great job detailing each step so I thought I would give it a shot. I was able to do it and didn't run into any issues! Thank you so much for your help!
Thank you so much for a great video! the battery cells on my my 2015 are not bulky but, it no longer charges and I was not confident in replacing it myself; now I know what to do, thank you! I miss the good old times when laptop batteries were just one big piece that snapped in place
Was way easier than I thought. All tutorial videos should be like this, clear to see what's happening yet also concise. Thanks Rick.
Thank you for the great tutorial and links to the tools.
I ordered the parts using the links provided and today, changed the battery. Everything worked! Thank you.
Excellent battery replacement tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for such an easy to follow video! Was able to easily swap out my battery thanks to you.
Hey, I have to do this to my old lady's MBP and really appreciated the video - thanks!
Very helpful, thanks 👍
Thanks for providing such a comprehensive video and links for the hardware. I just completed the installation and everything works just as it should!
Thanks mate! Helped me big time to change my A1502's battery.
Great DIY video, thanks❤
Thanks for your video. It helps to replace my Mac's battery
Very clear and well presented
This is by far the best video with clear video and steps. Amazing. Really helpfull.
You can leave the top connections of the speakers and the bottom of the trackpad in place too and still remove the battery, since there's no point making the job harder than it is.
Very informative and easy to follow. Gave me the confidence to try and I really enjoyed the process. The hardest part was getting the glue off!! Thank you!!
Awesome. My battery retired after 9 years of rigid use and this video was a big help in getting through all the replacement steps. Very much appreciated. The little pointers and tips along the way made it a steady job. So I thank you for this video: THANKS
Thanks Rick, this totally worked, my computer is back! Great video! I didn't quite get your explanation on recalibrating the battery, so I'll google that. Cheers
Amazon! Just replaced my 2015 Macbook battery in less than an hour! Thank you Rick!
Thanks a lot, followed your vid and success, I've now got a Macbook that doesn't need to be tethered to the wall!
Huge thanks for the very well made video with clear explanations! I was able to replace the battery in my MBP, however, when I turned it back on, the keyboard and trackpad wouldn't work anymore. After a quick Google search, I ordered a replacement cable for the trackpad connector (6:28). I changed it today and it works perfectly (I'm writing this comment with my MBP. Many thanks!! :-)
aweesome thanksssss
Thanks for the well-shot and detailed video. Your procedure worked so well and saved me taking my MacBook to the repair shop that would have charged $140 per hour and said he could do it in one, possibly two hours. The one missing piece to the video was a reminder to re-lower the little black flat on the bottom of the trackpad cable. After reassembly my trackpad didn’t work so I rewatched the trackpad disconnect section of your video and just reversed it. Tiny little detail that makes all the difference. Thanks again for an excellent video
There are no missing pieces of the video.. 16:06 (put clamp back down)
Thak u very much!
Thanks!
This was very helpful. I noticed the screws are a bit harder than pictured also acetone isn't required if you're neat about the removal of the old battery. Rubbing alcohol is enough.
I was able to do it WITHOUT using acetone. Just stuck a screwdriver underneath the flat-cells, & lightly leveraged upwards. The sticky stuff gradually unstuck itself. I used rubbing alcohol to clean off the excess glue
Followed the directions and tips to a tee, everything worked fine. thank you!
Can a swollen battery distort the sound of the speakers?
What's the best source and brand of replacement battery?
The screw that holds the battery in place (top right corner) I can't seem to screw back in. I'm hoping the adhesive holds it. I was very fortunate in that the previous owner had the battery held in by packing tape so it just peeled off.
May I ask you a question Rick. Seeing it is so difficult to remove these batteries do you think one can get by installing a new one without the adhesive label taken off to make it easy to replace next time. I need to swap a battery shortly and given the full backing adhesive of the new batteries I was thinking not to stick it down which if tight enough might just do? What do you think. Many thanks for your videos which are very informative and helpful. I asked this question also on your earlier video but wasn’t sure which of them you would notice.
I've thought about that myself but decided it wasn't worth the risk to me. I didn't want to take a change of the battery shorting out if it was dropped or something like that.
Fair point Rick. Thanks for
Hello again Rick. I wanted to let you know that I installed the new battery today. Everything went a treat. I didn’t peel off the back adhesive and it all fits snugly without any issue. So that should help a ton replacing the battery next time. Thought I would mention this in case it is useful information to anyone else. Thanks again for producing such an expert tutorial.
i need to do this sometime soon, my battery still works awesome, but is starting to swell. the trackpad seems to have issues sometimes.
Trackpad pad issues is often a sign of a battery problem.
Can you use alcohol instead of acetone?
Hi Rick,
I used your helpful instruction and replace the battery but the touchpad doesn't work anymore and I am really frustrated. Do you have any idea what could have happened? Do you know how can I fix it?
16:06 Is the clamp down?
I notice you have a custom SSD in there? Is that an upgrade? Do you have a video on that or is it easy to do? I assume only certain SSDs work?
I have a video on it: ruclips.net/video/4SSxtWPogFQ/видео.html I have found you have to install the OS on the SSD before installing it with this upgrade path.
@@Rickmakes noneed to do this .. just press command +control + r when it starts up and it will give the option to download catalina
@@lilalife666 That didn't work on mine and many other people's systems with an NVMe upgrade. Have you had it working with an NVMe drive?
@@Rickmakes ah okay, only tried with msata and it worked
Hey brother thanks for the video. Could you give an update on how your replacement battery is doing?
I used a hot air gun to soften the glue and pry off the batteries.
@Rickmakes how's it going with this new battery ?
Still working great.
@@Rickmakes great !
Hi, I'm Marco. My battery counter shows 1569. It's works still good. Do you Think I need to replace ?
If it is working well for your needs and not bulging, I wouldn't replace it.
Isnt it necessary to reset SMC AND NVRAM after battery replacement?
I haven't had to reset them.
man my trackpad & keyboard stoped working after this. Could it be due to the cable?
It could I could check it.
Where can I find the battery sticker?
It should be on the battery.
You don't need to disconnect those two @ 4:50.
Yeah... I've just replaced mine skipping those two and it was just fine.
can we use our macbook pro without battery?
It's hard to buy new battery in my country😢
Some will run without but from what I’ve read, they may run slower. I would search online for info about running your specific model without a battery. There may be hacks available to bring it back up to speed.
I replaced SSD and battery, thanks for the videos. However, after replacing the battery my trackpad is not working so I can’t login to the computer. I’ve checked the connections and they seem secure.
Problem solved: on the track, pad connector there’s a little bit that needs to be flipped down.
Is there much risk of messing up your computer by doing this?
There is always a risk. I didn't find this to be any riskier than working on other parts of the computer. I wouldn't think about working on a computer without having a current backup if the data on the computer is important. Also, if the computer is vital for work or school, I would have a backup plan in case there was a problem. That being said, that is good advice even when you aren't working on it because you never know when a computer is going to break.
@@Rickmakes Thank you
Did not use the alu foil, the screen was not good 😪
Oh no!
@@Rickmakes Big mistake....
Shit story 😢
Great tutorial! Thanks a bunch.
Just want to add, using acetone to dissolve the adhesive is very important. Trying to pry the batteries up without it, especially around the trackpad area, can easily damage the trackpad. I thought I could skip that step and yup, trackpad is damaged upon re-assembly.
Lesson learned!
