Replacement Battery for MacBook Pro 15 Retina A1398

This new lithium-ion battery replaces part numbers A1618 and A1494 in 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina models A1398 from Late 2013, Mid 2014 and 2015. It delivers 99.5 Wh at 11.36 V using four cells and weighs 624 grams. The pack is rated for up to 500 recharge cycles over its service life.

Suits owners of compatible Late 2013 to 2015

Buyers with MacBook Pro 15 Retina A1398 Mid 2012 or Early 2013 cannot use this battery. It also does not fit non-Retina 15-inch models, 13-inch Retina models, or any Windows laptops. Shoppers needing a charger rather than an internal battery should look at a dedicated AC adapter instead.

Steady output during long work sessions

The 99.5 Wh capacity supports extended use away from mains power and the built-in protection circuit maintains stable voltage under sustained load. Grade A cells keep internal resistance low so heat and voltage drop stay controlled during continuous discharge. Factory testing on every unit confirms consistent performance over repeated cycles.
