Chosen Solution
Anyone ever attempted a battery replacement on this? I know iFixit says there’s super strong adhesive but if it’s similar to the strong adhesive on the iPhone battery, then it just seems like the same process but 5 times. Mine is wearing out and sitting at 85-89% with about 280 cycles. I feel like the degradation is going pretty fast… (and yes, I will bring it to Genius Bar later if I can’t do the fix myself).
I have successfully done a repair of this battery, although I do not reccomend this to anyone that has little to no repair experience. If you are willing to do this and are skilled enough to, my advice would be just take your sweet time with the battery. It is flimsy and damaged easily so just be extra careful while doing this replacement. Lord Adhesive really put up a fight for this replacement! iFixit Replacement Guide MacBook Battery
