MacBook® computers are some of the most reliable, long-lasting devices on the market, but eventually all batteries start to degrade. Fortunately, a failing MacBook battery isn’t the end of the world, and installing a new power source can actually breathe new life into your old computer. Below are a few signs that you might be due for a MacBook battery replacement.

3 Signs Your MacBook May Need a New Battery

1. Your Computer Issues a Warning

Apple® devices are smart enough to monitor the battery condition and let you know when it’s time for a replacement. Clicking on the battery icon at the top of your screen will open up a drop-down menu, at the top of which is your battery’s condition. If it says “Replace Soon,” “Replace Now,” or “Service Battery,” it’s a good idea to heed the warning and schedule a repair immediately.

2. Shorter Battery Life

As your battery ages, the time between charges will get shorter and shorter until it has to be plugged in constantly. As a general rule of thumb, if your battery life is 25% less than it was when the MacBook was new, your device is probably ready for a new one.

3. Spontaneous Shutdowns

Dying batteries, excess heat, and a variety of other problems can cause MacBook laptops to unexpectedly shut down, which can be incredibly frustrating. If your device stops working shortly after a charge, a MacBook battery replacement may resolve the issue and bring reliability back to your beloved computer.
