Battery Replacement
If your battery is in really bad shape, it's time to replace it! Both Windows and macOS will alert you when the battery is about to fail but you'll notice the early warning signs long before. Sometimes, your battery will only last for just a few minutes or an hour, sometimes it won't charge at all.
Replace Laptop Battery
If the manufacturers warranty still covers your laptop, a cracked screen is usually exempt from it, unless you opted to pay for accidental damage insurance. It can save you several hundred dollars if your laptop ever gets damaged!
Back in the 2000s and early 2010s, laptops had a user-serviceable battery, meaning you could have easily replaced it by yourself in less than a minute! Most new laptops require disassembly to replace the battery, so it's better to take it to a computer repair shop such as us.
We only recommend original batteries from the manufacturer. Be careful when ordering batteries online, as most of them are aftermarket. They are cheaper but of lower quality as well. They'll probably work ok but don't expect them to last long. There are stories of cheap and counterfeit batteries expanding and even catching on fire!
A typical laptop battery replacement costs from $120 to $250. As usual, MacBooks are harder to work on and their batteries are more expensive.
