MacBook Air 13" Late 2010 Battery Replacement

15 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

The battery wasn't lasting more than 30 minutes after ~300 cycles (almost 3 years of use).

My Fix

It took me ~15 min to replace the battery. The biggest problem was not buying the pentalobe screwdriver from iFixit, it took me 3 times to find a decent provider here in Brazil (the first sent an incorrect model and the second sent a poor quality screwdriver that dusted unscrewing the first screw)

My Advice

I regret no buying the screwdrivers along with the battery from iFixit. Also, If you are from Brazil, make sure you buy the correct part before submitting the transaction (the taxes cost more than the battery itself. 109 USD from battery and 120 USD on taxes).
