Why Choose Genuine
Most UK sellers stock aftermarket "compatible" MacBook batteries under generic factory brands. This is genuine Apple stock — the same part Apple's own repair centres fit, giving you accurate battery health reporting in System Settings and safe, consistent charging.
Calibrating Your New Battery
After fitting, use your MacBook normally for the first one to two weeks — charging and discharging naturally rather than forcing full drains. This lets the system's battery gauge learn the new cell's true capacity, so Battery Health in System Settings reports accurately. Modern macOS manages this calibration automatically in the background; you don't need to manually run it down to 0% or hold it at 100%.
What's in the Box
