Typical signs

How to tell your MacBook battery is on its way out

  • The battery swells: the case bulges, the trackpad sticks or needs noticeably more force to click
  • Runtime has dropped below 2 hours — it used to be 6 to 8
  • The charge no longer hits 100% or falls off strikingly fast
  • The MacBook cuts out with no warning even though charge is still showing
  • macOS displays "Battery, Service Recommended" or "Replace Soon"
  • Everything feels sluggish: with a weak battery, macOS throttles CPU performance

Important with a swollen battery: shut down right away, pull the charger and stop charging. A battery in that state is a safety risk — ship the device in promptly.

Modern MacBooks come with the battery glued firmly into the chassis. Apple and plenty of other shops therefore simply swap the whole top case, keyboard and trackpad included. The Sadaghian workshop takes a different route: the battery gets released from the housing on its own, and only the cell itself is renewed. Your original keyboard with its lettering and your original trackpad remain in place — and the price comes down accordingly. We fit high-quality, carefully selected replacement cells, and every battery is tested for capacity and charging behaviour after installation. The swap carries a 12-month warranty.

How to check battery health yourself beforehand: on macOS Sonoma or Sequoia, open the Apple menu → About This Mac → More Info… and, at the very bottom, System Report… → Power. You'll find the cycle count and the condition there ("Normal", "Service Recommended" or "Replace Soon"). More than 1,000 cycles, or a status of "Service", clearly point to a swap. Once you've sent the device in, this readout is part of the free analysis — extended by SMC readings, charge currents and voltage curves that macOS itself keeps from you.

FAQ

How much is it to have a MacBook battery replaced?

The battery swap is a fixed €180 on any MacBook Air and €220 on any MacBook Pro — installation, functional testing, the 12-month warranty and VAT are all built into that price. The price is the same anywhere in Germany, since DHL shipping is free both ways.

Can I replace a MacBook battery myself?

On modern MacBooks we'd advise against it: the cells are glued into the chassis across their whole surface, and a swollen battery in particular can get damaged while being pried out — in the worst case with a fire risk. At the workshop the cell is released with the proper tooling and the new one tested for capacity and charging behaviour — at a fixed price with a 12-month warranty.

How long does a MacBook battery replacement take?

The swap itself is usually done within one working day of arrival and approval. Add 1-2 working days each way for the free DHL shipping.

How does shipping work — and is it insured?

You request the free DHL label in 30 seconds — no account needed — drop the parcel off at DHL or Deutsche Post and follow every step online. The shipment is insured, and return shipping is free as well.

How do I pack my MacBook safely?

Power the device off, wrap it in bubble wrap or a soft cloth and seat it in a sturdy box with padding so nothing can shift. Only include the charger if it is part of the problem. The step-by-step guide is at emonis.com/versand.

How long is my MacBook away in total?

Allow 1–2 business days of shipping each way. After arrival, the free analysis follows within 1–2 business days; you then decide based on the cost estimate, and the repair time itself depends on the damage. You can see the current status in the portal at any time.
