NinjaBattBattery A1502 A1582 for Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13” A1493 [Early 2015 - Mid 2015, Mid 2014, Early 2013 - Late 2013] - Long Lasting [71.8Wh/11.43V]

This was an excellent choice as it fit exactly as described. It was a snap to put in. And charge the battery.You can’t go wrong with this product just take your time. I repeat take your time. There’s a lot of delicate screws that need to be aligned and tightened one more time…… TAKE YOUR TIME!!!

This was recommended for our MacBook. Exactly what we needed since the original was no longer holding a charge.

Works perfectly. Includes tools and easy to follow instructions

The MacBook Pro started immediately after installation. That's always a nervous moment. I am using CoconutBattery to check the specifics. It is a Simplo battery, which is one of Apple's genuine suppliers. Full charge capacity is 6600 mAh, the same as my original battery. Battery temperature is fine at 79.4 F. It is indeed a new battery at 0 cycle count. On startup the battery was at 60% capacity. I am beginning the calibration process.The only issue is manufacture date. This battery is more than 8 years old, manufactured on March 30, 2015. That variable seems to be pot luck. I recently ordered a replacement battery for an older MacBook Pro. That was also a Simplo, manufactured in mid 2021.Installation went fine, using a couple of YouTube videos. I recommend the OWC version because it uses the fewest number of steps. Other videos remove items that are not in the way.Also, solvent is not necessary to loosen the old battery. I used a small flathead screwdriver to patiently cut through the paste. There is an opening at right to get started. Once that cell is lifted out of the way it's easy to access the next one.Make sure to totally drain the old battery before beginning. These are dangerous batteries if breeched. I allowed the MacBook Pro to go blank then I restarted more than 10 subsequent times to get closer to absolute zero. Hold down the power button for roughly 10 seconds then release. The Mac will begin the startup procedure. It will steadily cut itself off quicker each time. You're good when the Apple logo no longer appears.I took the extra step of removing the heat sink and replacing the thermal paste, using a video from Luke Miani. However, he errs in spreading the paste on the smaller silver chip at right. That one is not supposed to be covered. I used Arctic MX4 paste instead of the one he recommended.

made a huge improvement in my Mac, easy install and great fit

Battery missing ribbon tape, rendering it useless.

pretty happy with the price and quality of this battery. Only negative thing was that it didn't come with any instructions and/or adhesive solvent. Not a big deal as I was able to use IPA and instructions which are available online. Overall the process was a breeze (I am not handy with electronics) and the battery was detected my macbook without any issue.Tool kit was very handy in removing various screws and back panel.

Old MacBook Pro from mid-2012 whose original battery died. While I've had issues with third-party batteries in the past, this one is working perfectly. It was a thoughtful touch that they included two screwdrivers, especially the Tri-Wing one needed for battery removal. I primarily use this MacBook via SSH, and noticed the system was running slowly without a battery. This is because Mac's power management system deliberately reduces performance when running solely on AC power to protect components from power fluctuations. Since I don't carry the laptop anywhere and it stays plugged in at the corner of my desk, I'm not concerned about battery life - I just needed it to restore full performance. I wrote a script to measure the battery discharge rate, plot is attached. It drained in about 11 hours, drain rate 8.6% /hour
