50 minutes

Difficult

My Problem

Battery life was becoming too short. The batteries exhausted after only 1,5 movies on the plane..

In the beginning my MAC could do a full day's work on a charge.

Hope to return to these good numbers again.

My Fix

It was very simple following the excellent guide.

Although, nervous prying the battery loose knowing the possible risk of dammage/fire.

My Advice

I used a plastic putty knife to pry the battery to get a wider area of attack.

I could then also pry more powerful with a screwdriver between chassi and the putty knife.
