MacBook Battery Replacement in Brooklyn
Ask RepairsBay for Repair
If your Apple laptop doesn’t charge, the battery percentage drops sharply, or it shuts down the moment it’s unplugged, contact Repairs Bay. We diagnose first, explain the issue clearly, and start your MacBook repair as soon as you approve it, with no upsells and no surprises.
Common MacBook Battery Issues
MacBook batteries are prone to deterioration over time. Here are the most common issues we can fix:
-
- The battery is not holding a charge. Batteries have a finite number of charge cycles. Over the years, your laptop will run out of power more quickly than it used to.
- The battery is swollen. The laptop may shut down unexpectedly at 20% or 30%. The only permanent fix is a replacement.
- Overheating during use. If a battery cannot provide a consistent voltage, it forces the processor to work incorrectly, which may generate excess heat.
- Faulty MagSafe ports. Debris in the port prevents the power from reaching the battery. If the port is damaged, you won’t be able to charge the device.
- Charging issues after water damage. Liquid causes corrosion on the charging circuits and shorts out the battery management system on the logic board.
And here’s what separates us from other shops: most places see a “battery problem” and immediately sell you a battery replacement, even if the real issue is a dirty charging port or a logic board short.
We diagnose first. If it’s just corrosion or a faulty cable, we fix that and don’t push a $200 battery you don’t need.
If the battery is dead, we explain why and give you options: OEM vs aftermarket, with honest pros and cons for each.
Professional MacBook Diagnostics
Our professional MacBook diagnostics start at $99. This is our way of protecting you.
There’s:
No guessing – we confirm the real issue, not the symptoms
No upselling – if it’s a $20 fix, we tell you. If it’s a $200 fix, we explain why.
Your choice – get the full picture before paying for anything
Shops that diagnose “for free” almost always inflate repair prices to cover the inspection costs. We’d rather be upfront.
If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee will be included in the total cost. We charge for control and confidence, not for making assumptions.

Can I Replace the Battery Myself?
No, if your MacBook doesn’t boot or charge, never attempt to change the MacBook battery yourself. Apple (like our team) explicitly warns against DIY battery replacements.
If you attempt a MacBook battery replacement yourself, you may cause severe damage due to the glued-in design, and you may face potentially complex issues associated with lithium-ion technology:
- Mishandling the battery can lead to overheating.
- Puncturing the lithium cells during prying may ignite a fire.
- Glued batteries require special tools and skills to be removed.
- The repair needs disassembly without bending components or stripping tiny screws.
When the battery in your MacBook has reached the end of its lifespan (after approximately 1,000–1,500 charging cycles), you will receive a notification. When you see this, plan a visit to the service center for an inspection and repair.

FAQ
How much does it cost to fix a MacBook battery?
Apple battery replacements start at $175. The final price depends on your specific MacBook model and the type of damage. We’ll tell you the price after performing diagnostics, with no surprise changes.
How long does it take to fix my MacBook battery?
Our specialists can replace your battery within 90 minutes. We offer same-day service for all in-stock models. If a specific battery needs to be ordered, delivery usually takes about 2-5 days.
Will my data be safe?
Yes, everything remains confidential and secure. Battery replacement is a hardware-only repair, so we do not access your data.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
Yes, and it protects you. MacBook battery problems often look simple, but they hide deeper issues. A proper diagnostic test ensures no unnecessary part replacements. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the total cost.
Can I replace a Mac laptop battery myself?
You should not do it yourself. A MacBook battery replacement is complicated. The motherboard is easily damaged through carelessness or static electricity. It’s better to contact us.
Do you use original Apple parts?
When available, yes. When they are not, we use tested, high-grade aftermarket parts that offer better value. You choose the option after we explain the price, warranty, and reliability. We don’t push anything.
Is it cheaper than a repair in the Apple Store?
Usually, yes. We perform repairs at the component level; we don’t just replace the original MacBook battery. We offer high-quality aftermarket parts where appropriate, and we don’t push unnecessary upgrades.
repair estimate
MacBook battery replacement requires precision and proper tools. The battery uses a strong adhesive that’s removed with toxic, flammable solvents, which can drip and ruin components like the logic board if mishandled. That’s why diagnostics and clear pricing come first.
MacBook battery replacement starts at $175 and around 90 minutes if the necessary spare parts are available. The cost of replacing or repairing the battery will primarily depend on the model. We will discuss options for reducing the Mac repair cost. No repair starts without your approval.
