30 minutes

Easy

My Problem

Battery was original and only charging to 67% of original capacity. Mac Superstore wanted $150.00 for replacement. With iFixit instructions and their excellent pentalobe driver, I did the replacement in 30 minutes, for a total of $75.00 including the battery.

My Fix

The repair was without any issues. The iFixit instructions were accurate and excellent.

My Advice

If you're a do-it-yourselfer, always go to iFixit first for instructions. I will from now on!
