Before you buy a battery online
Is it really the battery?
Batteries wear out. After a few years of daily use most laptops hold a lot less charge than they did new. If yours lasts an hour instead of five, a new battery is usually the answer.
But 'not charging' isn't always the battery. It can be the charger, the cable, the charging port or the board. Buying a battery online and finding it didn't help is a common and annoying mistake, so we test first and tell you what's actually wrong.
If you're not sure which battery your laptop takes, we'll find the right one for your exact model.
Signs of a battery problem
When to get your battery checked
Shuts off suddenly
Dropping from 40% to nothing, or dying when you unplug it, usually points to a tired battery.
Plugged in but not charging
Could be the battery, the charger or the port. We test each so you only replace what's failed.
Gets very hot
Heat can come from a failing battery or blocked fans. We check both. See slow computer repair.
Swollen battery
If the trackpad lifts, the case bulges or the laptop won't sit flat, stop using it and call us. A swollen battery is a safety risk.
MacBook battery warning
A 'service battery' message or a MacBook that dies quickly. See our Mac repairs.
