Compatible MacBook Pro models

This replacement battery fits MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina models A1398 from Late 2013 through Mid 2015, covering EMC numbers 2674, 2745, 2876, 2881, 2909 and 2910. It is not suitable for Mid 2012 or Early 2013 units, so buyers should verify their model year before purchasing.

Capacity and cell chemistry

The pack delivers 99.5Wh at 11.36V using lithium-ion cells rated at 8755mAh, matching the original specification for extended runtime. A built-in protection circuit guards against overcharging, over-discharging, overheating and short circuits during normal operation.

Sustained discharge behaviour

Under continuous load the smart circuit maintains stable voltage output while monitoring cell temperature to prevent thermal throttling. The 12-month replacement coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in consistent long-term performance rather than short-burst capability.

Questions about this item

How do I install the A1494 battery in my MacBook Pro 15" and which step do people often miss?

Remove the bottom case with the included P5 Pentalobe screwdriver, disconnect the battery connector, unscrew the old pack using the T5 Torx driver, fit the new 11.36V 99.5Wh unit, reconnect the cable, and replace the case screws. People often forget to disconnect the battery connector before removing the old pack.

What maintenance or replacement will the A1494 battery need later?

The lithium-ion pack is sealed and maintenance-free. After roughly 12 months of daily cycling the 8755 mAh capacity will gradually drop; when run-time no longer meets your needs, replace the entire battery.

What limit appears first on the A1494 battery during sustained heavy use?

The smart protection circuit will trigger thermal or over-current safeguards before the 99.5Wh cell chemistry reaches its absolute limit, throttling output to protect the pack.
