We stock batteries to be able to provide an on the spot battery replacement service (but not all of them so please contact us first to find out).
\nIf battery is out of stock, it will take an extra 2 days to be delivered from our supplier in Bangkok.
\nIn this case, we will order the battery specifically for you following a 50% deposit payment and we’ll contact you to book the replacement once the battery has arrived.<\/p>\n
Once in stock, and depending on your MacBook model, the turn around time may vary from 10 mins to 2 hours (list at the bottom of the page).
\nNow keep in mind that we may be doing other repairs while you visit us so turn around time may drastically vary for that reason.
\nIf you have ordered your battery in advance, you’ll have a space booked already so you won’t have to worry about that.<\/p>\n
Some models have 5 screws holding the battery in place. Once these 5 screws are removed, battery is off, ready for a new one to be installed. But that’s old news…
\nSince 2013 and the Retina MacBooks lineup, MacBooks have their batteries secured with adhesives.
\nSo the procedure to remove these batteries became more complex and requires to cautiously pry off the battery from the case, a risky procedure which can lead to rapid fire if done by an inexperienced person or in a hurry.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2471″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
We use Grade A+ OEM batteries or genuine batteries whenever available.
\nWe provide the best batteries we can find in our location of Phuket Thailand.
\nIn case the quality for a specific MacBook model is not there anymore, we’ll warn you not to replace it (but you will still have the choice anyway).
\nWorth case scenario, we’ll decide to not replace batteries for this model until we can find better ones.<\/p>\n
If genuine batteries are available, we’ll stock these ones only. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2135″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Batteries are consumables and their charging capacities as well as their conditions will degrade over time. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2042″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n But your MacBook battery may deteriorate earlier if you are dealing with one of these 2 scenarios:<\/p>\n – You have left MacBook seating unused for a few weeks and haven’t thought charging it once in a while. Worth case scenario, the MacBook may not even not turn as the battery will prevent it from doing so. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2043″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]- If you are living in a humid or hot environment like Phuket in Thailand which is causing abnormal stress on the chemical components of the MacBook battery.

\nOften we see clients coming to us with faulty batteries that were replaced in a different store and have lasted a couple of months, just enough to run out the 3 months warranty period.
\nSo in order to save a 1000THB or so, you end up having to replace your MacBook battery again a couple of months later. Not a clever move in our opinion.
\nAt Phuket My Mac, we provide a 6 months warranty with our batteries.
\n6 months is a lengthy enough period to test a battery and figure out if it will last long or not.
\nAnd if our battery shows signs of failure during that time, you can be reassured that we will take care of it.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen to replace my MacBook battery in Phuket?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\nAn average lifetime for a MacBook battery is 5 years and an average cycles count before the battery shows signs of wear is about 800 cycles count, if the device is used in a “friendly” climate.
\nOnce you reach either of these 2 variables, you most likely will start to feel that your MacBook is not lasting as long on battery as it used to.
\nThat indicates the battery is simply wearing out and will continue to do so at faster pace.
\nAt that point, you may start to consider replacing your battery if you want to keep having the best experience with your laptop, though it is not mandatory.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAt that point, you may be greeted with a “Service Battery” when you turn it back on.
\nThat basically means the system has detected that the battery is performing way below its normal threshold and will perform poorly on battery power from now on.<\/p>\n
\nOnly disconnecting the battery will allow the MacBook to power on again but, most of the time, the battery will never charge again.<\/p>\n
\nIf so, you may start to see your MacBook becoming “pregnant” by noticing the laptop bulging near the palm-rest or touchpad.
\nThat’s an emergency situation where you want to replace your battery ASAP, before the touchpad breaks and, possibly, the computer case becomes irremediably bent.
\nNot to mention, batteries are extremely flammable devices (you can ask us how do we know…) and are better to be dealt before they start to expand.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”2127,2045,2044″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]As a rule of thumb, Li-ion batteries do NOT tolerate being empty for a prolonged period of time and once they discharge below a certain threshold (voltage), they may never charge up again, no matter if these were fairly new or not.
\nThat’s why it’s important to store MacBooks with a 50% charge (according to Apple) and turn them off if you have to leave your MacBook away for some time as well as charging them once a week to keep that 50% still.
\nAlso try to keep your device away from heat sources and humidity, not leaving them in a car under the sun for example.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1493631589456{background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16″][comrepair_section_heading decoration=”decor-1″]<\/p>\nMacBook BATTERY REPLACEMENT prices IN PHUKET
