What Affects the Cost
Glued to the top case
On these Intel models Apple glues the battery to the top case. We confirm during the free diagnosis whether the battery alone or the assembly is needed.
Battery health and swelling
A worn battery is a straightforward swap. A swollen battery has to be removed carefully, and we check the trackpad and board underneath for damage before closing the Mac.
Standalone battery or top case
On Apple Silicon MacBooks the battery is a standalone part. On many Intel models Apple bonds it to the top case, so the repair can involve more of the assembly.

Apple typically charges $129 – $199 for this repair on the MacBook Pro 13-inch (Intel). WarriorMac uses genuine Apple parts or component-level repair, gives you a free diagnosis first, and usually finishes in 1 to 3 business days after your Mac arrives.
