MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2012 Battery Replacement

15 minutes

Easy

My Problem

My Mac's battery monitor had been telling me for some time I needed to replace the battery, and it was getting where a charge would last less than an hour.

My Fix

The step-by-step instructions were simple and could not have been easier to follow. To summarize, you remove the screws holding the back cover in place, disconnect the battery, remove two weird screws holding the battery down, replace the battery and put all the screws back in. Took me about five minutes, and that was with my taking extra time in case something was more complicated than it looked.

My Advice

The two screws holding down the battery have some kind of weird y-shaped slot in the head instead of the standard Phillips or Torx heads. I didn't have a driver that fit it, but was able to use a small slotted screwdriver to catch one of the Y slots and just apply lots of downward pressure to the screw head while rotating it back out. Worked fine for me.
