Macbook Battery Replacement in Adelaide
Macbook Batteries usually have a life expectancy of 1000 cycles; unfortunately, this is spanned across 3-4 years, with typical usage patterns explained below. As a result, a Battery with depleted health might hold a short charge.
Another symptom of a failing battery is that it may drain quickly past a certain charge.
We would also notice that the Battery shows one of these signs:
- Service Recommended
- Replace Soon
- Battery Not Charging
All this means that the Battery needs a replacement.
Why Batteries Fail quickly?

What life expectancy to expect from the new Battery?
Batteries used to last 5-7 years, however since 2019 we start seeing drastically shorter battery life of Macbook Batteries in our Macbook Repair Centre in Adelaide.
Nowadays we barely get 1-2 year lifespan out of batteries. There are a couple of reasons depleting their lifespan quickly, but the most prominent is the change in the Li-Ion technology. Rather than technology advancing, we believe recycled Lithium and increasing disposable design is causing these batteries to be treated as consumables. Similiar to printer cartridges, with a drastic difference that they are not user replaceable.
We start noticing 2-3 year old Macbooks coming for a battery replacement, compared to 6-8 year old ones we used to get before.
How much to replace?


Why only 1-2 years life expectancy?
Batteries fails if working temperature is over 60*C
Prominent reason for failing battery is a lack of System Service of the device. The heat directly impacts the chemistry of the Li-Ion battery and depletes their life.
Aditionally, heavier operating system and applications drains more current from the battery, causing batteries to overheat and reduce their lifespan.
What is involved and cost?

Very happy with Gunay, the IT Solve person in Campbelltown. He was very professional, extremely efficient … More and fast service. He ordered a new battery for my mac, and was able to install quickly. I was not without the use of my mac. Very convenient. Answered all me questions in a way I could understand. Thank you very much.

Excellent service! My partner and I both needed battery replacements for our 2014 and 2015 Macbooks - … More Gunay was so helpful through the whole process and the turnaround time was exceptionally quick! We'll definitely be using IT Solve for all of our computer servicing in the future.

Brought in my Razer Blade 15 for overheating related issues- infamous Razer battery bloat and much needed … More maintenance. It was fixed so quickly and battery swapped over to a new one. Prompt, professional and offered excellent advice. Came here because of the reviews, and they were absolutely right! Will definitely be back for yearly maintenance.

Was quoted $600 to replace the battery in my Alienware 17 R4 with a "genuine part" or $300 … More for an "OEM part" (a part that costs around $120-200 from Dell)Quoted me $200 to install it if I provide the battery myself (takes around 15 minutes)Tried to mislead me by claiming that OEM and genuine are not the same (OEM is original equipment manufacturer, genuine parts are from the original equipment manufacturer)This joint is literally trying to prey on the unaware, go somewhere else if you need work done, otherwise you'll just get ripped off

I had numerous problems with my laptop - namely:
Broken hinge
Very slow starting up
Battery only lasted … More a few seconds when disconnected from 240V
Gunay confirmed exactly what was wrong and detailed all the possible scenarios in regards to fixing or replacing, etc.
I was convinced to have my laptop repaired which would last longer had I bought a new one. I am very pleased with the result and glad I kept my old laptop which by the way is much quicker than other new ones I've seen - thanks Gunay!David B ★★★★★ 2 years ago

Last week my 2017 MacBook Pro run in an extremely low speed so I brought it to Gunay for a diagnostic … More test.Before I left my laptop to him for a thorough diagnostic test, he quickly asked me several questions and told me what could be the reasons and how much I would need to pay depending on different conditions: logistic board failure - $600 / battery incompatibility - $400.After I left, Gunay didn’t spend much time on running a thorough test to find out that it could be attributed to a low quality battery which was replaced by the previous computer repair store. He accordingly helped me order a new battery and replace the battery with a new one. After the battery replacement, my laptop works smoothly again.Overall, Gunay is professional and trustworthy. If you unfortunately need computer repair services, I highly recommend you to contact Gunay and leave your computer to him! 👍🏻

When all is lost - Gunay to the rescue!My MacBook (pro, 2018, touchbar) suddenly turned off after a random … More ‘click’ and it would not turn back on. This was completely random, there was no food or water spillage, and battery was fully charged. I’m also an oompa who only backed up half her thesis…Gunay is very knowledgable and meticulous. He was able to isolate the affected area in the logic board, identify the damaged chip and repair it. Thesis saved!!In addition to his life-saving work, his customer service is excellent - he spent the time to go through my options in each case scenario and answered all my questions (I had a lot of them).My experience with Apple before the repair:I had initially planned to buy an SSD enclosure to remove the SSD from my MacBook, as the data was most important to me. Turns out, from 2018, Apple started soldering the SSDs into the logic board, making them no longer removable (or self-upgradable). This was to increase their profits.When I contacted Apple, they were also not helpful - I asked the online support a straightforward question about what my options might be if their diagnostics determine that my Macbook’s logic board is broken, and whether logic boards are repairable - they repeatedly dodged my question. Turns out, Apple will never do a logic board repair, and will tell you that you need to buy a new laptop (i.e. all your data is lost and they maximise profits).
