battery daughter board cable

Hello. Hope you are all doing well.

My question before I buy a new cable is: I just get a replacement battery for my MacBook Pro A1708. When putting the machine back together I noticed I have misplaced my battery daughter board cable. ( the small one over the battery connector )


What function do this cable have? Symptoms on the Mac is not detecting the new battery. Is that related to this cable ?

Thank you and best regards

@truls75, Hi there, a name like yours must surely make you a fellow Norwegian, or at the very least Scandinavian 🤗

The battery data cable is what identifies the battery to the logic board, and is necessary for correct operation.

Luckily, iFixit has it in their store, but they’ve only got 5 left. I’d help you out and ship one locally, but I don’t have much MacBook stuff lying around 😔

@truls75 Awesome! Luckily, shipments from the iFixit EU store are quick and simple (the one thing that can cause delays, is Posten). I got my last shipment in under a week which is sweet. I’ve also ordered from Jesse and iPadRehab, which is also ~1 week shipping time.

Hei Geir Ove. Prøvde å bestille denne kabelen fra ifixit, men får ikke oppdatert at den skal sendes til Norge. sender de ikke til Norge lenger?

@truls75 Hi, that’s weird.. Did you use the EU store? Never been an issue I’ve noticed before. I have a couple of things I need to order, so I’m going to test it right now

@truls75 Dang, that cable is only available in the US store :( And I think there is an issue with us ordering from the US store, because of shipping and such.
