How to Replace a Battery for MacBook A1713 (13-inch, 2016–2017)

Replacing the battery in your MacBook Pro A1713 can restore performance and extend the life of your laptop. Below is a clear step-by-step guide.

Important Notes Before You Begin

  • Model: This guide applies to MacBook Pro 13-inch (2016–2017) with battery model A1713.
  • Tools Required: Pentalobe P5 screwdriver, Torx T5 screwdriver, spudger/plastic card, adhesive remover (optional), ESD protection.
  • Safety: Disconnect power, work on a flat surface, and avoid puncturing the lithium battery cells.
  • If you’re not comfortable with hardware repairs, we recommend a certified Apple or third-party technician.

Step-by-Step Replacement Guide

1. Power Down and Prepare

Shut down your MacBook completely. Flip it over on a soft surface and remove the ten P5 screws securing the bottom case.

2. Open the MacBook

Gently lift the lower case. You may hear clips releasing. Set it aside.

3. Disconnect the Battery

Locate the battery connector and carefully disconnect it from the logic board using a spudger. This prevents accidental short-circuits.

4. Remove Components Blocking Access

Depending on your model, you may need to loosen the speakers or trackpad cable to fully access the battery adhesive strips.

5. Detach the Battery

The A1713 battery is glued to the chassis with strong adhesive. Use adhesive remover or insert plastic cards under each cell to loosen it. Take your time to avoid bending or puncturing cells.

6. Install the New Battery

Place the new battery in the same position, ensuring the screw holes and connector align correctly. Press gently to secure it in place.

7. Reconnect and Reassemble

Reconnect the battery cable, reinstall any components removed, and reattach the bottom cover with the ten screws.

8. Power On & Calibration

Start your MacBook. If it boots normally, charge it to 100% and keep it plugged in for 2 hours, then let it drain to 5–10% before recharging — this calibrates the new battery.

Tips for Best Results

  • Always use an original or high-quality A1713 replacement battery.
  • Keep the removed battery in a safe place and recycle it according to local regulations.
  • If the MacBook doesn’t start after replacement, double-check the connector alignment and screws.
