Who is this MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707 (Late 2016-2017) replacement battery for?

In particular, this battery suits three groups of buyers. First, MacBook owners whose original cell has degraded below acceptable runtime and who want to keep using the device. Second, NZ repair shops and trade technicians who need a reliable, local-stocked MacBook battery for fast paid repair work. Third, experienced DIY repairers who already own the precision tools for MacBook disassembly. However, for first-time DIY repairers, GA Tech NZ strongly recommends professional fitting through the in-house repair service because MacBook cell removal requires careful isopropyl alcohol application and a damaged lithium cell is a fire risk.

How long will the MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707 (Late 2016-2017) replacement battery last?

Typically, a new Li-ion polymer cell retains 80 percent of its design capacity through roughly 1000 full charge cycles for a MacBook-class battery, which works out to three to five years of normal daily use. After that, capacity will begin to taper, and the next replacement window opens. Meanwhile, GA Tech NZ’s 6-month warranty covers manufacturing defects in the first 6 months from delivery, and the cell itself is built to deliver the full Li-ion design lifespan when charged within Apple’s voltage range.

How to install the MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707 (Late 2016-2017) replacement battery

The MacBook battery sits beneath the bottom case, bonded to the chassis with strong cell adhesive, and connected via a flex cable to the logic board. Generally, a trained technician completes the full swap in 60 to 120 minutes including bottom case removal, cell adhesive softening, and reseal. For buyers unfamiliar with MacBook disassembly, GA Tech NZ strongly recommends in-house MacBook battery replacement.

Disassembly and old cell removal

  1. First, prepare the workspace and tools. Specifically, use a clean ESD-safe bench, the supplied Pentalobe P5 screwdriver for the bottom case screws, the supplied Torx drivers (T3, T5, or T6 depending on model) for the internal screws, a plastic spudger, plastic opening picks, and isopropyl alcohol for cell adhesive softening.
  2. Second, power off the MacBook and unplug all peripherals. In particular, disconnect MagSafe or USB-C power and shut down completely (not just sleep) before removing the bottom case.
  3. Third, remove the bottom case screws and lift the case. First, use the supplied Pentalobe P5 to remove the bottom case screws (count varies by model). Then, carefully lift the case from the rear edge to release the clips along the perimeter.
  4. Next, disconnect the battery flex cable. Specifically, locate the battery connector on the logic board, remove the metal shield with the Torx driver if present, and lift the flex cable to isolate power before any further work.
  5. Then, soften the original cell adhesive. Specifically, apply small amounts of isopropyl alcohol along each battery cell perimeter using a syringe or precision applicator. Allow several minutes for the adhesive to soften before prying.
  6. Finally, remove the old cells. First, work a plastic opening pick under each cell from the outer edge. Then, gently lift each cell free of the chassis. However, take particular care not to puncture, bend, or short the lithium cells during removal.

Battery swap and reseal

  1. First, clean the chassis cavity. Specifically, remove any residual adhesive from the chassis cutout using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. As a result, the new cells will bond cleanly.
  2. Next, apply the supplied adhesive strips. Specifically, peel the backing from each strip and place it in the chassis where each cell will sit. Then, align the new battery and press it firmly into position. However, take care not to crimp or fold the battery flex cable.
  3. Then, reconnect and test before closing. First, reconnect the battery flex and refit the shield. Then, plug in the MacBook to MagSafe or USB-C and power it on with the bottom case still off. Finally, verify the MacBook boots, accepts charge, and reads the new charge percentage in System Information.
  4. Finally, refit the bottom case. Specifically, align the bottom case clips around the perimeter and press it down. Then, reinstall and tighten the Pentalobe P5 screws to spec.

Compliance and testing

First, the supplier holds standard CE Declaration of Conformity (EU Council EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (FCC Part 15 Subpart B / ANSI C63.4:2014) for this battery line. In addition, the supplier holds standard lithium-battery transport and safety documentation, including UN38.3 test reports, MSDS, 1.2M drop test, and air transport identification under CNAS-accredited testing. As a result, the battery line ships with the compliance paperwork required for safe NZ courier transit.

Frequently asked questions

About capacity, fit, and runtime

What capacity is this MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707 (Late 2016-2017) replacement battery?

Specifically, the MacBook A1820 replacement battery is rated at 76.0 Wh, 6667 mAh, 11.4 V nominal, and 12.95 V charging cutoff. As a result, these numbers match the original Apple cell specification, which is why runtime after installation tracks the factory experience closely.

Will this battery restore my MacBook runtime?

Yes, indeed. Because the cell is zero-cycle and built to Apple’s original capacity specification, a tired MacBook typically returns to a full working day of mixed use after the swap. However, real-world runtime depends on screen brightness, WiFi signal strength, and CPU/GPU workload from background apps.

How long will the MacBook Pro 15-inch A1707 (Late 2016-2017) replacement battery last?

Generally, a new Li-ion polymer MacBook-class cell retains 80 percent of its design capacity through approximately 1000 full charge cycles. With normal daily use, that works out to roughly three to five years before the next noticeable degradation. Meanwhile, GA Tech NZ’s 6-month warranty covers any manufacturing defects in the first 6 months from delivery.

Which MacBook models does this A1820 battery fit?

Specifically, this pack fits MacBook Pro 15-inch Touch Bar A1707 (Late 2016, Mid 2017). The full Apple A-number and EMC list is: A1707 (Touch Bar, Late 2016 EMC 3072, Mid 2017 EMC 3162). Therefore, confirm your model number in About This Mac before ordering.

Installation, delivery, and warranty

Will this battery fit the A1398 or the newer A1990?

No. The A1398 (2013-2015) uses A1494 or A1618 and the A1990 (2018-2019) uses A1953. The A1820 fits the A1707 Touch Bar (Late 2016, Mid 2017) only.

Does the battery come with adhesive and screwdrivers?

Yes. The pack includes the battery adhesive strips needed to bond the new cells to the chassis, plus the Pentalobe P5 screwdriver for the bottom case and the Torx driver for the internal screws. Therefore, technicians have everything needed to open the MacBook, remove the old cell, and seat the new battery in one purchase.
