Hi all,
My mid 2011 MBA 13" has 580 cycles on the battery, Coconut Battery claims it only holds around 80% of its original capacity, and my battery life is pretty awful, imo. Obviously I think that I could do with a new battery........
My questions are-
1. A authorised service provider friend told me that a new battery in this mac will make barely any difference to the run time, is this the case?
2. When I go to buy a new battery on Ebay, are there any that you can recommend? Obviously I would like to try to find a genuine brand new Apple battery but one of those on Ebay got sold a while back before I could grab it
Am in the UK and Flourion brand seems quite popular, if I can not find a genuine apple one.
3. Is there anybody on here with the same Mac who can remember what the battery run time was like back in 2011 from new out of the box? And will a replacement battery for this mac enable the run time to be the same/similar to that.
Thank you so much for your thoughts,
Alex
