The people at iFixit seem to be of the opinion that either battery will work in your machine. The A1495 is a newer battery and possibly may operate a little longer, look at the compatibility charts.

When the A1495 Battery is used in the A1370 Mid 2011/12 it will register as 100% design capacity and you will get slightly higher usage time.

If the A1406 is used in the A1465 Mid 2013/15 it will read as 96% design capacity as the A1406 Battery is lower in design capacity than the A1495.

Test was done using CoconutBattery in on both models with new batteries (Original Simplo) from my inventory.

A1406 Design Capacity = 35-watt-hour

A1495 Design Capacity = 38-watt-hour

Macbook air A1370 use battery A1406

Macbook air A1465 use battery A1495

they are not cross compatible, if you use the wrong battery your computer will become extremely slow.

Really! Please tell us the differences in the A1406 and A1495 batteries and compatibility in the 11" Mid 2011 machine.

I have successfully swapped these batteries. I have done so without issue. I recently placed the battery from a 2011 into a 2015.

No issue on my end. Your mileage may vary

I just pulled out a A1406 battery from a A1370, and I know it’s not a replacement. So it will fit and function without a problem.

I tried to replace an A1370 with an A1406 battery. The battery looks the same but the connector is about half an inch further away from the centre of the laptop on the original so A1406 won't fit A1370 MacBook Air because the connector doesn't line up.
