Signs it’s time

When to bring it in.

  • It drains much faster than it used to
  • Battery health shows Service Recommended (System Settings, Battery)
  • The case is bulging or the trackpad is lifting. Stop using it, don’t charge it, and bring it in soon

Batteries wear with use, and heat is hard on them. Keep your MacBook out of hot cars.

Coverage

Is it covered?

Some batteries are covered by the Apple Limited Warranty or AppleCare®. We check your coverage for you when you come in.

At the counter

Diagnostics first, then an estimate.

We test the battery with Apple diagnostics and replace it with a genuine Apple battery if it needs it. You hear what we found and what it costs before any work starts.

Stuck at 80%?

Why your battery stops at 80%.

Often it isn’t a fault. Apple says Optimized Battery Charging “can delay charging past 80% in certain situations”, such as when your Mac expects to stay plugged in for a long time.

If the battery menu shows Charging On Hold, choose Charge to Full Now when you need a full charge. On a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS® Tahoe 26.4 or later, a Charge Limit between 80% and 100% can also be set in Battery settings.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

More answers on our FAQ page.

Why does my MacBook stop charging at 80%?

Usually that is Optimized Battery Charging or a Charge Limit, not a fault. If the battery menu shows Charging On Hold, choose Charge to Full Now when you need a full charge.

Can you replace a swollen battery?

Yes. A swollen battery is a safety issue, so stop using and charging the device and bring it in soon. We test it with Apple diagnostics and replace it with a genuine Apple battery if it needs it.

Will I lose my data during a repair?

Back up first, if your device still works. A current backup protects your files during any repair. See our backup guide.

Where the two stores are Not to scale. The North MoPac store sits just west of MoPac, north of downtown, just north of RR 2222. Northbound and southbound MoPac traffic can take the RR 2222 exit to reach the store. There is a turn right after you exit, and the store has two entrances. Missed the turn? Loop around and come back: go down the MoPac frontage road past the store, around by Balcones Dr and back up to the entrances. The Downtown store is on West 2nd Street, just north of Lady Bird Lake, between MoPac and I-35.
