Use this guide to replace the battery.
Note: If there is a thin plastic film on your replacement battery, do not attempt to remove it. It is glued on and protects the battery pack while it is inside the MacBook.

Thanks for this guide! From ordering the parts to doing to work, it was a super easy and fast process! May have been nice to see some mention of the different sized screws in various locations, and how to calibrate the battery once done with the install. Either way, awesome tutorial!
@ejhalsell Good point about calibration—that’s been added to the final step now. There are measurements for every single screw though, so I’m not sure what more you’re looking for there.
How best should I dispose of my old battery? Would be nice to include this information.
Thanks!
It’s hiding in the conclusion ;) “Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.” Thanks for disposing responsibly!
