Replacement battery for MacBook Air 13 inch

This lithium‑polymer battery replaces Apple part numbers A1496, A1405 and A1377 in 13 inch MacBook Air models A1466 and A1369. It fits machines released from 2010 through 2017 including MC503, MC504, MD760, MD761, MJVE2 and MQD32 series. The pack delivers 7.6 V and 54.4 Wh capacity across six cells.

Thermals noise and power draw

Li‑polymer chemistry runs cooler than older cylindrical cells during typical workloads. Built‑in protection circuits guard against short circuit, over voltage, over current and deep discharge, keeping temperatures stable and preventing runaway heating. Rated for up to 500 recharge cycles, the pack maintains consistent voltage without audible noise.

Build fit and tools included

The battery ships with two screwdrivers so you can open the bottom case and swap the pack without sourcing extra tools. Black finish matches the original enclosure and the 0.88 lb weight keeps the laptop balance unchanged. No additional cables, adapters or firmware steps are required for installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install this A1496 battery in my MacBook Air 13 inch A1466 and which step causes problems?

Remove the bottom case screws with the included screwdrivers, disconnect the old battery connector, fit the new 6-cell 7.6 V pack, reconnect the cable, then replace the case; the step most people get wrong is forgetting to disconnect the battery cable before removing the old pack.

What maintenance or replacement will this 54.4 Wh lithium-polymer battery need later?

The pack is rated for up to 500 recharge cycles over its life; after that capacity drops noticeably and the battery should be replaced.

What limit appears first under sustained use with this 7150 mAh replacement?

Thermal protection triggers first; the built-in over-temperature and over-current safeguards will throttle or cut power before the cells reach their cycle limit.
