A1708 Battery Replacement, A1713 Battery for MacBook Pro 13 Inch A1708 [Late 2016, Mid 2017] EMC 2978 3164 MPXQ2LL MLL42LL MLUQ2LL MPXR2LL MPXU2LL MPXT2LL MacBookPro13,1 14,1 11.4V 54.5Wh 4781mAh

The First batter I purchased about 6 months ago!, That one worked great for 4-5 months, then when I moved back to using my MacBook at home connected to the charger and monitor constantly, it started acting up. I contacted Customer Support and then they were quick to replace it! Even though the first replacement (which was different manufacture-wise than the previous battery) was not able to recharge, I asked the supplier to send a second replacement, and equally as quick, they sent another replacement. Currently I am using that one and it is on it's 6th cycle. I recharged it when it hit 6% and my mac recalibrated and I've attached the stats from Coconut Battery to this review. For now I am very happy with the customer service and the very prompt response and replacements sent.Edit: Still going strong! my screen's optical cable passed out, and i'm kinda angry at that, but the battery still keeps around a full charge!

This item was received with used parts. Item was listed as new but had a bag of used parts inside. The screw drivers had wear and were partially stripped to the point of almost not being usable. The spatula had clearly been used and was worn in several spots. The battery was new although it was made in 2015 and had no apparent cycles on it.

Arrived promptly, installed by experienced family member without any problems, (special tools included are essential). I followed the recommendation to drain the battery down to around 10% before fully charging and I have been repeating that as it is supposed to improve battery performance. So far (10 days) I am completely satisfied with the purchase, I am easily getting 8 hours of use per charge although it's generally light use, plus my Macbook looks like new again with the case closing better than it has for months, and the trackpad back to normal. There are no Apple repair facilities where I live, so I would have had to be without my computer for a while if I had had the battery replaced by them, plus I would have incurred considerably more cost. So, if you are confident of your or a friend's competence in Mac repairs, I would recommend this battery.

This is my second battery. I had the same one, but it lasted 2.5 years, which I thought was okay. Could have been better, but it's okay. So after looking around, I decided to get the same battery again. Installation was more difficult this time since the adhesive from the previous one did not come off as easily as the OEM battery. Also, because of the stiff plastic covering the new adhesive strips on the new battery it is almost impossible to correctly line up the three sections. The plastic is thick so I can't even cut it. We'll see how long this one lasts!

I've been using this replacement for months after installing it in my MacBook Pro 13". I think it's better than the original battery when it was new. The original Apple battery had gotten so bad that the MacBook would not even turn on.The replacement was fairly easy after watching a couple of YouTube tutorials. The tools supplied were good and did the job. This replacement seems to charge faster and last much longer than the original battery. I've gotten more than 8 hours run time, which is much better than the old battery.TLDR: Works great, wish I had bought it sooner.

UPDATE 2: Battery is once again dying very quickly. Seems like these batteries are good for about 6-10 months and then they lose their capacity. Not worth the hassle of reinstalling new ones so often.UPDATE: Since battery has a 1 year warranty, I reached out to customer service and they were very helpful and shipped me a replacement immediately. Installed it and so far so good. Hopefully this one lasts longer.I bought and installed this 10 months ago. It seemed to be working well for a while, but in the past month or two the battery has started to swell and make it difficult to click the trackpad. Also, the battery life is heavily reduced and doesn't last more than an hour or so now. It used to last a few hours. I would not recommend.

I've also left a similar review on ASUS ROG laptop. This battery brand works just as good as OEM based on my experience. It's hard to find a good laptop battery that works anywhere near OEM, let alone last more than 6 months, but I would have to say this battery is not showing any obvious traits of bad batteries that I've bought in the past, so I would have to say it works really well so far. I highly recommend it, especially for this price. Installation is not easy because MPB13 is not easy to install the battery in the first place anyway, so it's not their fault, but it's not really easy anyway.

The tools that came with the battery made the removal of the back cover go smoothly and the provided instructions weren't bad. I did end up watching a youtube video that helped more than the instructions.The Macbook recognized the battery instantly. However, I'm very disappointed that the battery didn't even last one year. I have to replace the replacement battery less than one year after installing it.
