MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Model A1211 Battery Replacement

10 seconds - 1 minute

Very easy

My Problem

Original MBP battery had worn out.

Original iPhone4s battery had worn out.

My Fix

My MacBookPro has a user replaceable battery so there was no challenge there, but so far the iFixIt battery seems just fine...only one cycle on it so far.

The pentalobe screwdriver to open the iPhone worked fine, of course, and the replacement battery was easy to install. The phone works GREAT now...I had forgotten how good it could be.

My Advice

Don't use a metal tool to pry the battery connector off, use the plastic spudger. Even if you only touch the outside housing, there appears to be at least one metal surface nearby that is energized, and so you can damage things if you short it to the battery connector metal housing.
