Consider what happens when your MacBook Air M1 battery stops working. Either your laptop starts running slower, overheats or stops functioning altogether. Sure, you could plug your laptop into a main power source, but that defeats the purpose of your laptop’s main advantage—mobility.
Your best option is to replace the battery so you can get back to taking your laptop with you wherever you go. However, we don’t recommend trying to replace the battery yourself. MacBook batteries can be very difficult and time-consuming to replace.
Don’t waste any more time trying to work around a dying laptop battery. Bring us your device, and our highly qualified repair technicians will give your laptop a brand-new lease on life so you can get back to being you.
M1 MacBook Battery Replacement – What You Need to Know
An M1 MacBook battery failure can have lots of different symptoms and causes. Pay close attention to them because the sooner you fix the problem, the sooner you can avoid larger problems down the road.
How to tell if your M1 MacBook battery needs replacing
- The battery loses voltage quickly.
- The laptop does not recognize the battery.
- The battery never fully charges.
- The laptop constantly reports the need to replace the battery.
- Mechanical/physical damage is visible.
- The battery begins to swell.
Most often, the battery stops working gradually—it’s not usually an immediate problem. The older the laptop, the greater the chance that the battery will stop holding a charge. But battery wear and tear is just one of the possible causes.
Common Causes of Laptop Battery Malfunction
- Age: Laptop batteries have a limited lifespan, and they will eventually need to be replaced. The average lifespan of a laptop battery is about 2-3 years, but it can vary depending on the type of battery and how it is used.
- Overcharging: Overcharging a laptop battery can damage cells and shorten its lifespan. It’s important to only charge the battery to its full capacity and then unplug it.
- Overheating: Laptop batteries can overheat if they are used in hot environments or if they are not properly ventilated. Overheating can damage the cells and shorten the lifespan of the battery.
- Physical damage: Laptop batteries can be damaged if they are dropped, crushed, or otherwise subjected to physical trauma. Physical damage can cause the cells to leak or rupture, which can lead to a fire or explosion.
- Improper use: Using a laptop battery in extreme temperatures, using a battery that is not compatible with your laptop, or leaving the battery plugged in for long periods of time can all contribute to battery failure.
If the battery suddenly stops charging, it usually means that there is damage to the connector or power circuit. Only a repair specialist can determine the exact cause during the diagnosis of the laptop. Our repair shop provides this analysis service for free.
