Replace a damaged cable or corroded connectors. This cable connects the battery to the logic board.

The assembly includes the sleep sensor, which detects a magnet located in the display assembly to automatically put the computer to sleep when the lid is closed.

The ES battery connectors have 2 fewer pins and different spacing than the non-ES models. If you have a Santa Rosa machine (the SR machines have Expose', Dashboard, and media play function buttons on the keyboard), this is the correct part. If have a non-Santa Rosa machine, remove the upper case and check to see if the words "Energy Star" are printed on the board in the second RAM slot.

This connector only works on Core 2 Duo machines that have Energy Star printed on the board and in all Santa Rosa, Penryn, and 2009 plastic MacBooks.

California Residents: Prop 65 WARNING

Right For The Environment & Your Wallet

It’s not just more sustainable—it’s cheaper, too. Replacing your MacBook battery with an iFixit Fix Kit can save you a considerable amount compared to Apple’s out-of-warranty service—depending on your model.

Good Battery = Good Experience

All laptop batteries wear out after about 18 months. An aging battery can cause problems like overheating, performance slowdowns, and unexpected shutdowns. Swapping in a fresh one restores reliable power—so you can focus on what matters.
