I contacted the seller and they send me a new battery. I read about the issue and it seems to be faulty battery. After a few cycles it is already under 60% health. When i got the battery and installed it in the laptop it worked but when you let the battery discharge it will jump from 50%-70% to 7% and stay there for a while and the battery maximum capacity goes down. Everything works good and so i decided to buy a battery for it.

I removed the battery and bought a charger and run the laptop without the battery. I found a MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2011 in trash with a swollen battery. Not sure if i should post this here or somewhere else but i have a question. Given that affected 15-inch MacBook Pro models are in danger of overheating and catching on fire, those with machines that need a replacement battery should be sure to visit an Apple retail store or get in contact with Apple support before continuing to use their Macs.Hi everyone. The machine in question was a 2015 MacBook Pro with a 15-inch Retina display, and it could potentially be linked to the recall. Batteries will be replaced free of charge.Įarlier this year, a video of a MacBook Pro that caught on fire and produced copious amounts of smoke made the rounds on Twitter and Reddit. Those with 15-inch 2015 machines are instructed to find an Apple authorized service provider, make an appointment at an Apple retail store, or contact Apple's support staff to arrange a mail-in repair.Īpple warns that the MacBook Pro will be sent to an Apple Repair Center for service in all cases and that service could take one to two weeks to be completed. The recall affects just the 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2015 and does not impact later models released in 2016 and beyond.

Apple says affected units in need of replacement can be identified by entering a Mac's serial number in the recall program page. Affected batteries may overheat and pose a fire safety risk.Ĭustomers are being asked to stop using affected MacBook Pro units until they can take steps to have their batteries replaced following Apple's instructions. Apple today announced the launch of a voluntary recall and replacement program for 15-inch MacBook Pro models with Retina display sold between September 2015 and February 2017 due to battery failure issues.
