Direct replacement battery

This A1618 lithium-ion pack is built for the 15‑inch MacBook Pro Retina models A1398 released in late 2013, mid 2014 and mid 2015. It matches the original 99.5 Wh capacity and 11.36 V output so the system reports correct charge levels from day one. Owners of the mid 2012 or early 2013 A1398 cannot use this unit because the connector and cell layout differ.

No extra accessories required

The battery ships as a single sealed module with the same screw holes and flex‑cable connector as the factory part. Installers only need a pentalobe driver and a small Phillips bit to remove the bottom case, disconnect the old pack and secure the new one. No adhesive strips, thermal pads or calibration software are included or required.

Grade‑A cells in a rigid enclosure

Six high‑density cells are housed in a reinforced plastic frame that aligns with the MacBook’s internal battery bay, giving a firm press‑fit without gaps. The onboard protection board guards against over‑charge, over‑discharge and over‑temperature conditions across an operating range of –10 °C to 35 °C. Rated for 500-plus full cycles, the pack maintains consistent runtime for daily mobile workloads.

Questions about this item

How many charge cycles can the 99.5 Wh lithium-ion cell sustain before capacity drops?

The battery is rated for 500-plus cycles with upgraded electric-core technology that raises energy density by 30 per cent and reduces lossless consumption.

What is the upper temperature limit for safe daily operation of this A1618 pack?

Multi-protection materials allow continuous operation up to 35 degrees Celsius; the lower limit is minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Does the 11.36 V, six-cell design draw more power or run hotter than the original Apple battery?

Grade A cells and built-in overcharge, overdischarge and over-temperature protection keep charging fast and power consumption low during all-day use.
