Macbook Pro A1706 Battery Service Recommended Repair

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.

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.

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.

Often Asked Macbook Battery Replacement Questions

System Service is required to ensure to keep the temperatures of the system under 60*C

  • 6 Months Warranty – Basic Service will reduce internal temperatures of the system, although its not a complete solution especially for devices which havent been serviced in the past 3 years.

We believe that the Lithium technology to build batteries has changed in the recent years. Perhaps they use recycled Lithium or there is something else in the play.
