Question 2

How long does a MacBook battery replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

What batteries do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Apple-spec replacement batteries that meet the original capacity, voltage, and cycle-count specifications. All batteries come with a ZA Support warranty covering defects and premature degradation.

Question 4

How do I know if my MacBook battery needs replacing?

Accepted Answer

Key signs: battery life under 3 hours on a full charge, macOS showing Service Recommended, sudden shutdowns at partial charge, swollen trackpad, or battery not charging. Run System Information > Power to check cycle count — over 800–1000 cycles typically means replacement is due.

Question 5

My MacBook trackpad is stiff or raised. Is that a battery issue?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a raised or stiff trackpad almost always indicates a swollen battery. Do not continue using the machine. A swollen lithium battery is a fire risk. Contact us immediately for an urgent collection from Kyalami.

Question 6

What is the assessment fee for a battery replacement?

Accepted Answer

Assessment from R599. This covers inspection of the battery, charging circuit, and any related faults. If a straight battery replacement is confirmed, the assessment fee is applied to the repair cost.

Do you replace batteries in Apple Silicon MacBooks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We replace batteries in MacBook Air M1, M2, M3 and MacBook Pro M1, M2, M3. Apple Silicon models use updated battery designs and we stock appropriate replacements for current-generation machines.

Question 8

What is your warranty on battery replacements?

Accepted Answer

All battery replacements carry a ZA Support warranty. If the battery develops a fault or does not hold charge within the warranty period, we replace it at no additional cost.
