Can I install the same higher capacity battery from the mid-2013 (13") MacBook Air, in a mid-2011 (13") MacBook Air?
That’s not going to signifcantly change anything it’s the more efficient processor and architecture – which result in significantly improved battery life – not the battery alone. This happened the last time “significant battery life increase” was announced… hypertheading and other improvements contributed significantly to battery life.
