Your Mac notebook battery service might be covered by warranty, consumer law, or AppleCare Protection Plan. We might need to test your product to determine the final service fee.
AppleCare Protection Plan
AppleCare Protection Plan gives you expert telephone support and additional hardware service options up to three years from the day you bought your Mac. If you didn’t buy the AppleCare Protection Plan with your Mac, you can buy it within one year of your Mac purchase if your product isn’t damaged.
You may also have consumer law rights. Apple Limited Warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan benefits are in addition to your rights under consumer law.
Get ready for service
Before you return your Mac to us, be sure to enable FileVault and back up your data. You may need the backup if your Mac needs to be reformatted during the repair process. Apple isn’t responsible for lost data.
The Apple Limited Warranty
The Apple Limited Warranty covers your Mac and the accessories that come with it against manufacturing defects for one year from the date you bought your Mac. You may also have consumer law rights.
Our warranty doesn't cover damage caused by accidents or unauthorized modifications. You can check your warranty status online and update your proof-of-purchase information if there's an error in our records.
If your repair isn't covered by our warranty, you’ll pay out-of-warranty fees.
Our guarantee after service
We guarantee our service, including replacement parts, for 90 days or the remaining term of your Apple warranty or AppleCare plan coverage, whichever is longer. We offer this whenever you get service from us or from an Apple Authorized Service Provider. This is in addition to rights provided by consumer law.
