Replacement battery for MacBook Air 11
This lithium-polymer battery replaces the original Apple A1406 cell in MacBook Air 11-inch models from mid 2011 through early 2015. It delivers 35 Wh at 7.6 V and is rated for up to 500 recharge cycles with built-in overcharge, overdischarge, over-temperature and short-circuit protection. The pack includes free screwdrivers for installation. It is not compatible with the 2010 MacBook Air 11" A1370.
Practical limits of the 35 Wh cell
Capacity is fixed at 35 watt-hours and 4800 milliampere-hours, so runtime matches the original factory specification rather than extending it. Voltage is 7.6 V nominal and the pack uses a proprietary Apple connector, preventing use in other laptops or as a generic power bank. The 20 V AC adapter rating listed in the data refers to the charger, not the battery itself.
Installation and common issues
Installation requires removing the bottom case and disconnecting the original battery before fitting the new pack; the included screwdrivers fit the standard pentalobe and tri-wing screws used on these models. The most frequent problem is ordering this part for a 2010 MacBook Air 11" A1370, which uses a different battery and will not accept the A1406. Verifying the model identifier (MacBookAir4,1 through 7,1) or EMC number before purchase avoids returns.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the A1406 or A1495 version for my MacBook Air 11 inch?
Both part numbers refer to the same 35 Wh lithium-polymer battery; select the one that matches the label on your original pack.
What does the 35 Wh rating mean for daily runtime on a MacBook Air 11?
It restores the original capacity, giving roughly the same hours of wireless web browsing you had when the laptop was new.
Does the 7.6 V output work with the MacBook Air 11 charging circuit?
Yes, 7.6 V is the native cell voltage for the A1370 Mid 2011 and A1465 2012-2015 models, so the system regulates charge normally.
