If you have a MacBook Pro from the correct year, and want to see if your machine is due for a replacement battery, click on the Apple logo in the status bar on your machine.

It does not apply to any other variant of the Mac.

The battery replacement offer, which removes the cost altogether for the owner of the machine, is only available for 2012 and early-2013 MacBook Pro models.

At the end of July, it was reported that Apple was outright replacing some 2012 and early-2013 MacBook Pro models due to the battery replacement procedure.Īt the time, the reason for the replacements was, according to an internal memo sent out by Apple, a shortage of top case assemblies with integrated batteries.
