ASMARK Replacement Battery for MacBook Pro 13-Inch A1502 Retina 2013-2015

This is a review of the ASMARK MacBook Pro A1502 replacement battery. The battery, tools and very detailed photo based instructions all came in a very nice Apple’esq package. The instructions are great! With photos for each stage along with written instructions, it’s really very easy to strip down the MacBook and replace the old battery. Be advised that the rubbing alcohol isn’t included in the package however, it’s easy enough to break the seal between the batteries and glue using the supplied spudgers. I removed the old battery carefully without the use of alcohol, it took about 30mins. Be patient and careful not to bend the old batteries and forcibly lever them up. Just slide the spudger with the handle under the batteries one at a time breaking the glue seal between the batteries and case. Keep the spudger as flat as possible all the time. Eventually the seal will give and the batteries will lift up one at a time. Wiggling the spudger helps to break the glue seal. Once the old battery is out, fitting the new battery is super easy. One bit of advice, the new battery comes with the bottom completely covered in new sticky tape that will hold the batteries down so hard you will never be able to get them out again so, do what I did and do not remove the clear plastic covering the sticky tape and instead just put the new battery down onto what is left of the old sticky glue. This holds the battery perfectly in place whilst ensuring you will be able to remove the battery again in the future to replace it again. Once put back together it’s important to plugin the PSU before starting the Mac for the first time as the new battery isn’t fully charged. For the first charge, charge the battery to 100%. After the initial charge only charge the battery to 85% each time as this will extend its life considerably. I did this with my original battery and it lasted just over 10 years! For £58 this is a great battery replacement that works perfectly.

I was looking for a replacement battery for my MacBook Pro A1502 and after some searching purchased this from Asmark Pro. I chose it as it is a high capacity battery and comes with all the tools you need so you don’t have to shop around for other items. The installation video was very helpful and it also comes with colour printed instructions that you can follow. It was a breeze to follow the instructions and change the battery. The instructions stated it would take 60 minutes to do and that was spot on. I am including pictures of the new battery installed and the old original swollen Apple one. I have tested the new battery and it works great and has the ability to run two full length movies without needing to be recharged. I did that to calibrate the battery for the first time. So in summary if you are looking for a high capacity replacement MacBook battery with all the tools you need and with easy to follow instructions choose this seller and battery from Asmark. In case it helps you, I choose not to glue the new battery down to make it easy to change next time as it fits snugly when put in but that’s just my personal tip which you need not follow. I hope this review is helpful.

My laptop needed this badly, it would only work if plugged in! I looked at many possibilities but chose this one because a review said it came complete with instructions and link to an instructional film and it did, these proved very good and, along with the kit of tools and various bits and pieces made the job very easy. Slow and easy, methodical and follow the film - easy, worked first time. I have no hesitation in recommending this kit, your laptop will thank you!

The packaging, toolkit and fitting instructions (printed and on YouTube) are first class. The video instructions are clearer than the printed, which although comprehensive are a little difficult to see. The necessary adhesive solvent for removing the old battery is not included, but Isopropanol alcohol 99.9% is essential, & is widely available. and only £7 a litre online. Asmark will even refund you $10 for this (as mentioned in the instructions, if you "contact the seller" via Amazon. The whole job takes about an hour. Be aware that the (10) external case screws are not all the same length, although they look very similar, so you should number them when dismantling so you can return each to its original position. Freeing the old battery requires persistence and patience, and repeated applications of solvent. do not be tempted to prise it out forcibly, slow and gentle is the way. After all the residual adhesive is removed, it is prudent to offer up the new battery "dry" with its adhesive protection paper still attached, so you can bend the wiring of the connector to the correct angulation for the connector to easily locate into its socket on the logic board. It is much easier to do this bending before the battery is finally stuck in position. Once installed I checked the charge capacity of the new battery, and it was 71,500 mWh as advertised. (see photo) I obviously cannot comment on its life expectancy, but all seems fine so far.

Coming back just a few days after my initial review with an update. The laptop has simply suddenly died with no intention to turn back on at any point. I tried everything, it just does not start anymore. I can only blame the battery giving up for that. Leaving the original review here just in case I simply got unlucky. I've got it installed only one week, but nothing to complain about so far. It comes with all the required tools to open the case and detach the existing battery. Install instructions are clear and easy to follow. It comes well packaged, which gives you a sense of order and quality. Real quality of course needs to be verified over time, I plan to come back in a few months with an update.

works fine with good fitting instructions but after about 3 weeks I noticed that one of the sections had come unstuck, now the other end has come unstuck, as I was meticulous about the cleaning of all old residue I can only assume that it is the glue not holding, otherwise 5 stars

Great product. Great walkthrough video on how to install. Very pleased and relieved to have a new, working battery. My laptop is back to performing like it’s brand new.

The battery is very expensive considering it is Chinese.

Hasta ahora muy buen.

Perfect, nu datorn har fått ett nytt batteri

大変満足しております！ 指示に従い、古いMacBook Proのバッテリーを自分で交換することができました。 私が必要としていたすべての工具は、広告通りの新しいバッテリーとともに提供されました。 私のMacBook Pro（2015年中期モデル）は、この新しいバッテリーで現在正常に動作しています。

Installed this battery a few weeks ago and seems to be doing the job just fine. Installation was as easy as they say and nice to get everything you need for the job all in one package. If it lasts half as long as the original it will out last my laptop. Would clearly recommend this battery price was excellent compared to others and an easy to change item for any one with simple instructions included.

Schnelle Lieferung, es kam gut verpackt an. Aus und Einbau war in einen MacBook Pro Retina Early 2015 - dank Video-und Bildanleitung - problemlos. Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 7170, Kapazität nach erste Ladung scheint OK zu sein. Von Langläbigkeit/Zyklenfestigkeit kann ich mich noch nicht äußern.
