Questions about this item

Does this A1417 battery fit my MacBook Pro 15" Retina A1398 from 2012 or Early 2013?

Yes, this battery is designed only for the A1398 Retina models released in 2012 and Early 2013; it will not fit Late 2013, 2014 or 2015 versions.

Can I keep using my original MagSafe 2 charger with this replacement battery?

The battery connects to the laptop's internal power system, so the original MagSafe 2 adapter continues to charge it normally.

How can I verify the new battery is working correctly after installation?

Open About This Mac → System Report → Power and confirm the battery shows 10.95 V, 95 Wh capacity, 6 cells and a cycle count starting near zero.
